It’s only New Zealand once
Friday Every time I write about us going on some trip I have to put the disclaimer about covid cautious behavior. Yes, we ate outside every time (except for planes which require a hold breath, bite/drink, exhale, remask procedure, which sounds ridiculous but it’s that or no water for 13 hours). Yes, masks everywhere. Yes, […]
It can get worse
A few folks have reached out wondering how we’re doing since we live in Los Angeles. Because it’s still a developing situation my update will be short: I wasn’t going to post about this, but I found myself on the blog looking up the locations of some of the places I’d taken my parents on […]
Following the Saint
Friday morning we shut down the house and headed to LAX. Despite a disorganized boarding queueing procedure from Air Canada, the actual flight was not full and we ended up with an empty seat next to us. However, the flight was delayed for about a half hour due to a “maintenance procedure” that prolonged our […]
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 đŸ˜‰
