Did I have a Happy Mother's Day? Yes, my child and her husband came to visit!:~) I am fortunate that they live nearby. We had a good time looking through old photos. We talked about this one, though we did not look at it, as I had it in slide format. Thanks, Ontario Wanderer, for scanning it for us!

1. I sat down on the floor with my camera bag, took out my 80, snapped a couple pics. The end.
2. Don't be surprised if you see a lot of these lackluster, boring, snapshots of me.
3. I had a good day today.
4. My lips make me look dehydrated here. I am most certainly not because I drank a ton of water today.
5. I'm totally gonna eat a yogurt when I finish writing this up.
6. My child pretty much rocks my world. He was so fun today.
7. It's amazing how the tiniest of things can change the largest things in life.
8. I love ginger ale.
9. My niece looked at my sock drawer earlier and said, "wow, you have a LOT of socks!". heh.
10. Collab pushed back until tomorrow....PROMISE.
11. Gotta love that random stray hair across my forehead. Wouldn't be a justK closeup without one, would it.
12. I napped today. It was all kinds of wonderful.
13. I read some of my book today. I miss reading.
14. I'm currently addicted to about 4 different games on my phone. I never should have downloaded them.
15. Always remember that the future comes one day at a time.

Random Fact: Armadillos have four babies at a time and they are always the same sex.
(boy, am I glad I'm not an armadillo.)
Don’t let yourself be mislead and disappointed in your relationship by myths about happy couples’ do’s and don’ts.
Your relationship might be more “normal” than you recognize.love is not always roses and chocolates. It can get messy and complicated at times....

Nothing like coming home and your animals greet you day after day. Our moods change so much and they are always there right by our side. There is sure something to be said of the gift of animals. I'm grateful to have a few in my life and miss the ones that are gone.

"Matisse", I picked that name because he reminded me of Pepe' Le Pew the cartoon where the French skunk pretends to be a cat because he is in love with a black & white feline. Matisse and I played, "hide & seek", "pursuer & distancer". "'Pepe Le Pew' & the cat" everyday I was with him for 19 years. I really, really miss all those "catty little games"......he always let me win as you can see in this photo :)

The newest attraction at Disneyland Resorts is the Little Mermaid ride. This shot is at the end where King Tritan sends his little girl off to her new life with Prince Eric. It is nice to have a movie where Dad is competent and loving, not the buffoon as so often portrayed. What I love most about this movie is the King's unconditional love for his daughter.
It reminds me of this verse on God's unconditional love for us:
"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39
It's so sad... actually sadder as I try to write this.

Found this blog that I think is a great read on Donna Summer by David Munk...

Contemporary definition which states that "unconditional love is an unlimited way of being." Experienced within the individual, this universal awareness of love operates on every level of life through the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual bodies and is expressed when one becomes conscious of its presence.
In conditional love: love is 'earned' on the basis of conscious or unconscious conditions being met by the lover, whereas in Unconditional love, love is 'given freely' to the loved one 'no matter what'. Loving first.
Conditional love requires some kind of finite exchange, whereas unconditional love is seen as infinite and measureless.
Unconditional love should not be mistaken with unconditional dedication: unconditional dedication refers to an act of the will irrespective of feelings (e.g. a person may consider they have a duty to stay with a person); unconditional love is an act of the feelings irrespective of will.

This is explanations in dictionary . I thought looking to this scene on the beach , What kind love or admiration or dedication have this dog for this woman eating juicy hamburger , or its training?
I wanted to show how dog sees the world. in his colors. I get to search how dog sees colors,;surprisingly . I find a lot controversy , some writing they sees in yellow and blue ( like I did here ) but searching more I find " they do not see color ", or see "green and red " and Et cetera
I still do not know how dog sees the world but I think he able to love unconditionally.

Here's my boy, he's been gone almost 9 months now. I miss him so much. He was about 3 years old when this pic was taken, (1999).
This photo was taken 12/4/08. I had to put him to sleep 12/15/09. I must remember that this life is finite & to appreciate those souls in my life that have so much meaning.
I like to think that he is sitting (not a jumper or bird catcher) and watching those birds...making that little cat chatter noise with his teeth and swatting his tail.
He may be catching "vols" the predator that he was (when he got outdoors). He was a "mouser" twice. He placed them perfectly on the seam in the floor between the kitchen and dining room. Who says he doesn't earn his keep?

23/365.
If there's anything that could frame that smile into eternity at all;
if there's anything that could turn your little wishes into reality at all.
I would go to the moon and pick the stars, turn them into the magic wand that grants you all the little wishes.
If you're vulnerable at all, you're still the sunflower that carries on with strength, lives on with smiles.
If you age through the years at all, you remain a baby at heart forever.

A prayer
I want to believe
I need to believe
when one door slams at my face
with pain and harshness
another door will open up
gently, wide and free
and I will find a new path
to walk along
with love and friendship
unconditionally.
One of the many rewards of having children, is that look they give you of unconditional love and adoration. The kind that warms your heart so much it breaks of joy.
One of the other rewards, is watching them share that look with your spouse and falling head over heels in love with them again. A great Father is so sexy.
And I am very lucky. : )
Who makes a better Valentine's Day companion than this little pug who's filled to the brim with unconditional love?

Our Daily Challenge - "Your Valentine"
Hopefully it's still relevant now that Valentine's Day is over. Photoshop was doing the *opposite* of loving me yesterday, and destroyed my first attempt at editing this photo.
The new MUTAYTOR CD is out!
Recorded over four inspired days at the historic Westerfeld Mansion in San Francisco last April has yielded and true piece of musical beauty.
I am really really proud of this CD. Though I had nothing to do with the music, I was honored to be the guy with magic image box to capture the story.
From the CD:
"IN THE SPRING OF 2010, we packed up our gear, our studios, a fairly impressive collection of microphones, and
miles of cable and brought up to San Fransisco and proceeded to turn our friend Jimmy Seigel’s famed
Westerfeld Mansion into a giant recording studio. What happened surprised even us.
Music likes being in some places ...better than others. Most commercial recording studios are deliberately designed to be very acoustically sterile environments, where little is left to chance and each sound can be kept on a fairly tight leash. The Westerfeld was anything but that. Almost immediately we realized we weren’t so much in a building anymore, but a living, breathing organism that seemed to listen to every sound we made and repeated it back to us instantly in a very rich and harmonically pleasing way. For four whirlwind days and nights, the house cooed and hummed in way that could be compared to a puppy having it’s belly rubbed.
While we tracked, all around us, creativity was bursting like a hundred flowers - photos were piling up all over the place, film was running constantly, we were visited by a group of folks in wedding dresses, we enacted strange musical rituals in the bell tower, and on the whole, we all went mad with inspired joy.
What you hold in your hand now are some of the fruits of that endeavor. All of the reverberations and reflections you hear on this recording were naturally created by the house itself, rather than through any modern technology and in many ways, the Westerfeld itself became an instrument we collectively played.
Most of these songs have appeared in some form or another on previous recordings, however the arrangements and performances are all new and represent where we were as a band at that moment in time after a prolonged stint of touring. It is our sincere hope that you enjoy this album even a fraction of the amount we did making it. and if we’ve failed to mention it before - THANK YOU FOR LISTENING."

Today, 1 month ago I lost him. After 19 years I still find myself looking for him when I come home.....when I leave.......when I am driving to visit relatives/cancer treatments...he was always in the car with me.
I catch myself singing his morning song before I get out of bed just as always.
Every evening I find myself calling or looking for him for our snuggle talk time about an hour or so before bed. I walk to his box to scoop litter to find his box covered and I cannot move it yet.
One month and things are getting better. I am starting to really realize he is gone and how much a part of my life he was......and I just never realized.
This is my dog, Rufus George McNasty. My wife rescued him off the side of the road a few years ago. Then, he only weighed about 9 lbs. and was so skinny. Somehow he got named Rufus, and then I started calling him, George as well. Because he has fuzzy, wirey hair that sticks straight out when it's long,, my oldest daughter didn't I(and still doesn't) like to touch him, calling him, "Nasty." Later, she started calling him, McNasty...thus his name (and it's on his dogtag too)! He is one of the most lovable dogs I've ever had, because he trusts anyone and everyone. When I'm home, he is by me, on me, or near me 99% of the time. When my wife and I go to bed at night...he gets in the middle and sometimes sleeps with his head on my arm. If I'm away for a few days, he goes nuts! I usually keep his hair trimmed down through the summer, just leaving his eyelashes, goatee, and the spike (along the top of his head) long. He's starting to get pretty long here, and, as you can see, it sticking out every which way!
