Pencil Drawing: Done on heavy Bristol paper. Size 11x14. I'm surprised that this has only gotten 37 favorites. Doesn't anyone love "STEVE HARVEY"? Does anyone watch "FAMILY FEUD"? Is this not one of my best drawings? I would LOVE some feedback about this drawing from my Flickr contacts. Thanks.
Friendly Feud is similar to the TV game show Family Feud. We had a lot of fun participating in this game.
Taken somewhere off the coast of New Zealand
A free Sunday... and my office desk is just glorious.
But first, Issac Newton once said, "Pictures, propagated by motion along the fibers of the optic nerves in the brain, are the cause of vision."
Light would enter the eye through our pupils. Light is then focused into the retina by our lenses. The retinas converts the light into nerve impulses. Then, the nerve impulses are sent through the optic nerve to the brain for visual processing.
Finally, I can let go of everything logical to spend some time to unwind after an entire week of dealing with neuroscience lectures and lab data. Before I settle down (not that I haven't already) and watch some Sunday night television to end my weekend, I thought I'd lay out some of these backlog issues and play some catch up. Sometimes we need a break, even if it is one day of the week.
Chopra once said, "Self-awareness is not just relaxation and not just meditation. It must combine relaxation with activity and dynamism. Technology can aid that.
I'd like to add "....but so can comic books."
So, we've got our big Family Feud audition tomorrow (!!) - me and J are driving back to Boston tonight! We've been talking about this as a family for *years* (since J was like 8?). Rumor has it there's 45 families trying out... they could take all 45 or they could take NONE OF US. Oooooohhhhh, the drama!
Family Feud teams are 5 people strong, but they give you the choice of bringing 6 people to the audition. If you bring a 6th, they'll choose the five they want on the show (our tentative 6th = Cousin Michelle) . I suppose bringing a 6th increases our odds of getting chosen (J's all for bringing a 6th), but I'd be bummed if one of the original five (me + J + Katie + Mom + Dad) got bumped.
And yes, we have been practicing. I bought a few copies of the board game (comes with a book of questions!), Tivo'd a bunch of old episodes ("make sure to high-five and say 'Good Answer!' a lot) and we've all been calling and IMing each other with fake Fast Money questions over the last few weeks.
That said, I think we may be a little over-prepared for this thing (which will prob hurt our chances), but we'll see. To be honest, I'm most worried about the dress code - "business casual" - do I even own a pair of real pants???
Anyway, wish us luck!

J just got the call! (Apparently, we got picked first out of the 180 families that auditioned in Boston last weekend!) Oh man, I can not be any more excited!
No words on dates yet, but we'll prob head to LA (!!) in mid Sept / Oct for the taping. We'll play one round for sure... but if we keep winning, we can play up to 5 games/ shows! ($20k in winnings per show). Wowowowowowowowow!

(ps: for those who were following at home, we brought 6 to the audition in hopes we could bring 5 to LA. The good news is that all 5 of us.. me + J + K + mom + dad are all heading out. CROWLEY FAMILY REPRESENT!)
The house next door to me has been vacant for over 15 years, according to local yore. Word is that there is an ongoing dispute between the heirs about what to do with it...sell, tear down and rebuild, or whatever. Meanwhile, its deterioration has caused it to lose most all of its market value, in an otherwise pricey 'hood. I go over there quickly everyday to leave food for a feral cat, but it creeps me out too much to go inside, and I get the chills just peeking in. Today tho, the sun was sort of shinning inside this weird back room, and I had a camera with me, so took a couple of shots. The previous photo → shows the massive geranium that is growing, and flowering, in the other half of this room.

WARDROBE
ALL TEAM MEMBERS MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND THE WARDROBE INFORMATION
REMEMBER YOU NEED TO DRESS TO IMPRESS. You are coming to appear on
television, and you need to dress accordingly. You must have a total
of three outfits (bring two, wear one). Your clothing has to be clean
and pressed and have no slogans or logos (i.e. POLO, TOMMY, DKNY).
PLEASE DO NOT BRING DARK CLOTHING!! You cannot wear ALL dark
clothing, dark bottoms (slacks & skirts) are fine but you have to wear
brightly colored tops. BRIGHT, BOLD colors look best on camera and
with our set. If you wear all black or dark clothing you will not
appear on the show. NO BLUE TOPS’. Due to the color of our
background blue tops don’t look good on the show. PLEASE AVOID
FLORESCENT & PALE COLORS (such as light yellow and pink), as they are
too bright for television. Also, avoid MIRRORS, SPARKLES OR
RHINESTONES on all clothing. If you have an item of clothing you
love, but doesn’t quite meet our standards, bring it with you and we
will review it during your wardrobe check. Your entire body will be
seen on camera. You must wear nice pants or skirts and nice shoes.
We understand you want to express your own personal style but IF YOU
DO NOT FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES SET, YOU WILL NOT APPEAR ON THE SHOW.
Please call us if you have any questions.
**If you serve in the U.S. Military we would like you to wear your uniform.**
*WOMEN:
NO White clothing (Absolutely None), Polka dots, checks, stripes, busy prints
NO Jeans, Casual Pants (Capris) or Denim
NO Formal evening wear
NO Tennis or athletic shoes, sandals
NO Turtlenecks
*MEN:
NO White clothing (Absolutely None)
NO Polka dots, checks, stripes, plaid, small busy prints, especially on your ties.
NO Jeans or denim, Athletic or tennis shoes
YOU MUST WEAR A BELT
**Your shirt must be a long sleeve dress shirt and it must be pressed**
Bring at least three different colored, long sleeve shirts, several
ties and at least one extra pair of slacks. If you own a suit jacket
please bring it with you. We prefer you wear a lighter colored suit.
You can bring a dark colored suit (black, navy or dark grey) provided
you wear a brightly colored dress shirt and that others on your team
are not wearing dark colors. Again, if you wear all dark colors you
will not appear on the show.
HAIR & MAKE-UP
YOUR HAIR AND MAKE-UP MUST BE DONE AT HOME BEFORE ARRIVING AT THE
STUDIO. We know that some women and young girls do not wear make-up.
However, when you appear on camera it is necessary for women over 15
years of age to wear make-up base, lipstick and mascara. If you don’t
wear some makeup, the bright studio lights will make you look very
washed out (i.e. YOU WILL LOOK BAD ON TV). We do not supply make-up
for health reasons. Please arrive with your hair & make-up done, there
will only be time for you to do touch ups. EVERYTHING IS ON A
SCHEDULE AND TIME IS PRECIOUS!
Wolf Camera Supply does not yet have a camera-wiki article, but it is notable as one of the regional chains which eventually was absorbed into the future giant Ritz Camera. In fact the Ritz and Wolf families were apparently related, and completed vigorously until the eventual merger.
Oh, you heard that right... we won Family Feud (3x!) back in 2009!

This geranium is humongous! It is living INSIDE a long empty house, and yet it grows and grows and even flowers! I like to keep an eye on it because it is right next door to me... (See next photo ← for more explanation about the vacant house.)
I cant believe we successfully kept our come-from-behind win a secret for 6 months (!!). Special thanks to those who came out to watch us off The Cohens (and special thx to Jackie for the FF name cards - ha!)
U.S. Army Dental Activity-Japan hosted Camp Zama’s Women’s History Observance March 30 at the Camp Zama Community Club.
The observance included a video highlighting achievements of women in the military, a mock Family Feud, and speech by keynote speaker, Lt. Col. Clydea Prichard-Brown, commander of 836th Transportation Battalion. (U.S. Army photos by Alia Naffouj)
A Crowley Christmas ver. 2008. All six of us back in Medway and kicking off with live blogging from St. Mary's church in Holliston, a 19-person Yankee swap at our house, 7:30am Christmas morning including such slamming gifts as Wii Fit + Shaun White for Wii (!!), Katie's new digicam, Jac's re-give boots, Mom's cupcake PJs, dual-action Barack Obama Commemorative plates, some Family Feud gifts we can't talk till March (maybe Best. Christmas. Gift. EVER???) and lots of kitchen stuff too. All followed by dinner (and more present openin') at Auntie Jeans and then late night Rock Band (read: getting embarrassed by 8 yr olds) over in Framingham.
