After the upset win yesterday of the U.S. hockey team over Canada AK notes that today's paper reminds us that on February 22 of 1980, in a stunning upset, the United States Olympic hockey team defeated the Soviets at Lake Placid, N.Y., 4-to-3. (The U.S. team went on to win the gold medal.)
Going through some old boxes of stuff and found Kermit! I've had him since I can remember so he must be pushing thirty years old. He was always my favorite Muppet.
Today is Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday - the last day before the start of Lent. We hold our annual Pancake Supper at the church as a fundraiser for our Youth.
AK poses with a rather round friend (not that he's fat, mind you - he's fluffy!)
Today is also my daughter Emma's 18th birthday and AK celebrates with her as well!
A few weeks ago, on December 11th, we had a Holiday Brou-ha-ha gathering at the studio. Lots of people came and ate sweets and had a good time. Robert Daniel, the head honcho over at Glass and Gear, a local gear rental house, graciously donated the use of some very festive lighting to the studio, which made it look absolutely gorgeous. Dave Seah let me use his old Canon G4 point and shoot camera and we set up a "Fun Cam" station near the back of the studio, where visitors could take quick self portraits of themselves.
Here are some images of the studio, decked out in all its festive glory, and images from the Fun Cam sessions.
I'm looking forward to another gathering next year, and realize that it is now impossible to have any kind of function without decor lighting.
Thanks to Robert at Glass and Gear for taking these pictures during the shindig and supplying the lighting gear!

AK wishes a very Happy Valentines Day to all our Flickr friends. This is a special valentine I received this morning from a wonderful little girl named Miranda. She is four years old. When she began coming to church last year with her grandmother she couldn't figure out the word, "preacher" - so she called me the "Creature". Now she knows better but still likes to call me the creature, just for fun!
Metal lunchbox from the 1979. Muppets on one side, Kermit on the other, with a groovy thermos where Kermit is eating lunch out of a lunchbox. So meta!
I couldn’t feel less Christmassy lately, so I thought making some cookies would help. I was too lazy to roll them in sugar (plus I’m baking in my bedroom with a toaster oven), and I really didn’t spread them far enough apart...but whatever, they’ll taste fine. I also used those hot cocoa Hershey Kisses I got the other night. I still don’t feel very jolly...maybe tonight I will, when I’m watching “The Santa Clause” and eating a pineapple pizza. I hope everyone has a great Christmas, whether it’s with family, friends, or alone. Merry Christmas.
Jim Henson, the creator of the Muppets was an alumnus of the University of Maryland. I found this statue outside the student union.

On February 27,1807 poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was born in Portland, Maine. AK likes his poem about an oak tree. He offers this tree as a tribute (The tree is printed on a reusable grocery bag made from recycled materials).
ELIOT'S OAK
Thou ancient oak! whose myriad leaves are loud
With sounds of unintelligible speech,
Sounds as of surges on a shingly beach,
Or multitudinous murmurs of a crowd;
With some mysterious gift of tongues endowed,
Thou speakest a different dialect to each;
To me a language that no man can teach,
Of a lost race, long vanished like a cloud.
For underneath thy shade, in days remote,
Seated like Abraham at eventide
Beneath the oaks of Mamre, the unknown
Apostle of the Indians, Eliot, wrote
His Bible in a language that hath died
And is forgotten, save by thee alone.
