when i was young i wanted to be a baseball...

...but instead, because i have a job, i am now a fire and am twirling, twirling towards freedom.


actually, i have been losing my mind making coffee, learning names of chocolates, and standing up for hours at a time. things were better when i was a bum and had time to "have fun."


so i took a trip to massachusetts. this is a road in Massachusetts.



indy had a good time, despite the two flat tires.


this is indy playing with his new england friend, count chocula.


lucas also came and brought his turkey costume.


but then i had to drive home in the tin can that is my car. oh, and the tires went flat again.


you can see the reflection of my eyeball in this pic. it's whispering to you...hey you, mattingly, i said shave those sideburns!


now there's nothing funny about that. oh god i hate making coffee.
