A stroke of ignorance
I’m writing this down just for my own remembrance later. Often if there’s a question “when did we do X, or where did we go at Y?” I can search this blog to get the answer. I assume this tool will be even more useful as I age and become more naturally forgetful. Speaking of […]
Konaheads
Before Trump took office we’d planned to do a snorkeling escape with our snorkeling friends every February. Why February? Well if we lived in Ohio we could say it’s to get away from the cold, but it doesn’t really get that cold in Los Angeles. However, it is Chinese New Year, and that’s when Sam’s […]
Ad-Hoc Parent Talk
Writing these is weird now. The only folks that read them are Mom, Dad, maybe Lois, and myself when I’m looking up some tidbit of info about something we did a long time ago. Sorry if anybody else reads this and thinks “hey!” – let me know! My parents came to visit for five days […]
In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae, May 1915
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep,
though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
(cough cough) Photographer: Told you looked like your dad in that photo! Hahah!
And your point is?
I think perhaps the point was that this post was her idea. She noticed the similarities from memory – I don’t know if I would have caught it. I’m inclined to believe the comment was a joke and not mean spirited as it was taken.
Technically on blogs it is common to give credit for a story (i.e. on “thanks to JB for the tip”) – and I did not do so here.
Well, it seemed a little “Nelson-ish” to me. No foul.
I’m assuming you are not referring to Matthew and Gunnar… in which case as it is outside the realm of 90s pop I’m not sure what you are referring to.
Oh wait – Nelson Muntz – no no. I think her “haha” was not one of derision but more along the lines of “cute.” Usually when someone writes “ha” or “lol” or any of that in online communication it is simply a mood indicator and not a literal laughing AT the subject (in a disparaging way). It took me a while to get used to it, but I find myself saying “ha” in IMs a lot – although I still haven’t been able to transition to the “lol” as it seems a bit much…
Woah woah woah… Overwhelmed! You guys are just joking back and forth right? Because it true that I actually find the keen resemblance that the photo captured unintentionally kind of neat. (^-^) Was just trying to claim my idea in a light hearted manner.
Yeah, I think everything is copacetic. If you want to see more pictures where I look eerily similar to my dad I’ve got plenty 😉
