Floridaze
There’s something in the air or the water or the sun here that sucks the creative juices out of me as soon as I pass U.S. customs in Orlando. I’m having trouble coming up with the goods for two blogs this week never mind the other bits and pieces. So, I’m going to go all wordless on you guys and on a Wednesday no less, to demonstrate the fruits of Dr’ O’C’s haggling. One is Mum’s choice, one Papa’s - can you guess which is which?
Oh, and by the way Jamie, that grass ain’t nothin’ but Florida Sunshine and the crushed skulls of the Miccusukee.

I LOVE that picture of Zach, and I love your new toy. Kudos to Dr. O C for swinging that deal. I wouldve slinked in, guppy fished, and then slunked out to order it over Amazon.
So in some ways my stint in Japan has stuck with me much more than this time in Germany is changing me back.

What a cutie. Nice touch of color to liven up the green.

There’s something in travelling half way around the world with a small child and several time zones and dehydration from the plane that sucks the creative juices out of you. Must be why you chose the cactus.
Does your child take a bad picture???

That creative sucking force you feel is just Disney. Don’t worry; you’ll be back to your old creative self once you’ve escaped the clutches of Michael Eisner.

Is that St Augustine grass? You know you can hold it between your thumbs just so and make a whistle?

With all these Florida posts, I expect to see Zach in orange and blue sometime soon.

Both a great pictures. That new toy is going to get some serious use.

Nothing beats that beautiful green. Make sure Dr. O’C sees a palmetto bug before you leave if she hasn’t seen one already.

There was a big old pot-bellied guy on the plane over from Gatwick in a Gators jacket. This has nothing to do with anything other than to say that Zach will never wear Florida gear.

I love that picture of your baby! It’s so vivid! Great shot. Happy WW!

Wait a minute - isn’t Zach wearing Orange and Blue in the picture above! Chris, while so many Americans are worried about downward mobility, isn’t great knowing your progeny has already achieved more than his Pop by embracing UF.
Oh, and could you find a better Buffett tune than Floridays - maybe Tin Cup Chalice?

Actually, James, that’s more like UT orange.

Beautiful pictures!
Here is my post for today, and here is my “Where were you” game. Do you want to play?
Happy WW!

If that is the case, then I see that a few days back in Florida has caused you to lose all standards. Are you wearing over-alls with no shirt and drinking Old Milwaukee as well?

nice photos
17 Apr 2008 at 8:24 am
1st one is Mum’s and second Papa’s? Both pretty.

OMG, that’s the Alabama state flag, right? I couldn’t believe it when I learned that was their state flag. Like, “Welcome to Alabama, now get the fuck out!” kind of a deal, no? Wow.
These photos are beautiful. I think this whole “new camera” thing is going to serve us readers quite well. Quite well indeed.

Maggie, Maggie, Maggie - your knowledge of Southern flags and their racist overtones is clearly muddled. That one is Florida’s. More like “Welcome to Florida, spend all your money and now get the fuck out!”
Jamie, do you know that I still proudly posess the Florida State flag that we liberated from St. George Island?

You can fly that flag proudly over your compound in Australia as the kangaroos and koalas gather for their nightly assault of terror.

I shall. Also my old school Georgia flag that actually does have some unfortunate racist overtones.
