Another Photo I'm Proud Of

I'm also pretty proud of this photo:

Newt, spotted newt, red spotted newt, Notophthalmus viridescens


This is the New Hampshire state amphibian, the spotted newt (Notophthalmus viridescens).

    He turned me into a newt...(I got better.)

    Recognize that line? Ha, ha. It was why one of my roommates in college had the nickname Newt. Couldn't resist.

    Love ya, bro, and miss ya. Nice photos - I've been enjoying them. Give Newty a kiss from your niece, and an ear scratch from me.

    Of course I recognize that line! The funniest movie ever, in my opinion. (Must remember to write a review for that one.)

    Has my lovely niece forgiven Newty for the little bite he gave her, then?

    I think you had already seen the toad and newt photos. But today I posted one I'm sure you hadn't seen before. Glad you've been enjoying.

    Forgotten, I don't think so. Forgiven, maybe...She gave an "awww" when I showed her this pic and said "I miss him."

    She also loves the crocuses photo.

    Why do these comments show the time posted, but not the date posted? Hmmmmmmm...seems weird to me.

    I hadn't really noticed that. But since you mentioned it, I went ahead and fixed it. Thanks. :- )

The Bell Ringer Joke Revisited

or: If I'm Destined to Get a Pulitzer Prize for 02008, This is the Line of Thought That Will Earn It For Me I'm pretty sure that it's been at least two decades since the idea of The Bell Ringer Joke started knocking around in my head. (I've mentioned the joke in a previous blog post .) There has been hope and despair, laughter and great disappointment, spread out over more than half my lifetime! On Thursday morning, out of the blue, I had a few epiphanies regarding the joke for all of these years. Epiphany #1: The first and second parts of the joke are spectacular, and if I had not been told at the time that I first heard them that there was a mysterious third part floating about in the ether, those two known parts would have been deeply satisfying. There would have been no disappointment associated with The Bell Ringer Joke whatsoever. The two parts stand together as a complete and brilliant story, riotously funny. Which is to say that the third part is only relevant...

This blog has been untouched for a great many months. In case anyone out there is subscribed, I'm posting this here. I've spent the last several months working in my too-rare spare moments on a video project that I consider to be the most important thing I've ever worked on in my life. But it only matters if people actually see it. It's scheduled to debut on YouTube at noon Eastern time this coming Wednesday (August 26). Please consider taking six minutes of your valuable time to watch it and then please, please, please consider sharing it as far and wide as you possibly can. Thank you. -L.

Adding My Voice to a Chorus

I hardly ever do any posting to The Repeal of Gravity Blog nowadays. Mostly I do my online posting to my Facebook account, which is set up with privacy protections so that I'm sharing with my small group of friends and my somewhat larger but still pretty smallish group of Friends. Today I'm reposting something here that I posted there last week, simply because I want to make sure that it really is a public declaration. This is not my best piece of writing. It's not the most important thing I've ever said. It's not the thing that I would most want to be remembered for. I merely want to add my voice, unabashedly, to a righteous chorus [however small, however quiet]. What follows is that contribution. -------------- Anyone with a working brain and any sense of the world knows that heinous terrorist acts committed in the name of Islam and/or Allah are not in any way representative of Muslims in general. Likewise, anyone who's been paying attention in the last ...
