Japanese Umbrella
Anime boy and girl with big eyes
Rain on one side, and sunny on the other.
Big sunshine in the middle and flowers all around.
Definitely another standout! ;-)

Great Microwave Decor
Why watch through the glass window, the food on the turntable (and the splatter) as it heats up when you can instead see some real art!
Also, kids art is somehow always the best; they see things in a more pure, unadulterated, as well as a fantastical way that makes you look at life anew again.
Enjoy the wonderful art Papi! ;-)

Do Three Eyes Help Us See Better?
Eyes right, left, and straight ahead.
What if we had eyes in the back of our heads?
Now, you don't have to look over your shoulder.
360-degree vision is that better 20/20 hindsight! ;-)

Covid Ultimate Mr. Clean
Not as good looking as the muscular bald guy.
But I have a feeling this colorful character gets the job done.
I wonder if Mr. Clean was transformed into this guy after he took the vaccine!
I had the first dose yesterday, and I'm feeling horrible today.
Hopefully, it will all be worth it. ;-)

Dress To Express
I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone where something like this before.
But I'd like to!
It seems colorful, bold, and exciting.
The awesome cartoon makes it youthful and alive.
We need to be more expressive, unique, and alive.
There is only one life to live, and it passes too quickly. ;-)

Flintstones Car(-Like)
Why do all the mechanic shops seem to have a car, like in this photo, lying around.
Sort of reminds me of The Flintstones Car (from the TV Show originally aired in 60s).
No motor or anything; you would just stick your feet out the bottom and you would run while in the car.
Stone Age answer to the need for an automobile.
Hey whatever works and no need to recreate the wheel either. ;-)

Merging Of Man
I can't remember--do I work at home or do I live at work?
Maybe this is the ultimate merging of the two halves of ourselves--the worker and the family man/woman.
These days were seeing a lot of mergers like this:
- Man-machine with embedded technology, robotics, and AI
- Man-environment with environmentalism and greening technologies
- Man-media with social media and other 100% always-on social computing
So why not Man Family-Work, it's just another merger of near equals in our day-to-day lives. ;-)

You're Driving Me Nuts
Homer is mad as h*ll and has Bart by throat!
Bart is screaming for help.
It so funny how art imitates life.
Where people drive others $%#&^*)* crazy.
And the other person just wants to wring their freakin' neck.
Yeah, this never really happens. ;-)

My Fun Socks
Just wanted to share some of my new fun socks.
You don't always have to take yourself so serious.
It's okay to let go and just be you.
From Dragon Ball Z to Super Mario, I feel so empowered!
Hope you do too. ;-)

Some Reflections From The Procedure
I hate going to the hospital--who doesn't?
But I figured better to take care of something before it gets worse.
I think of it like taking the car into the mechanic for a tuneup every once in a while.
This analogy stuck with me years ago, when the orthopedist told me I needed to get a hip replacement and started to describe it as having a flat tire that needed to be repaired.
Leading up the the procedure, someone sent me this funny cartoon:
This really hit a nerve too because even the best medicine these days reminds me of the truly horrible medicine not so long ago.
Ah, have some liquor, bite on this piece of wood, and now we'll saw your leg off!
I remember my father never even liked to go to the doctor, and he had total faith that G-d was his doctor--I think he actually managed to avoid the doctor for literally something like 30-years.
He also used to joke that many doctors were butchers, and he didn't want to get caught under their knife.
So that's certainly some apprehension going in to this.
The other thing that was interesting-sad that I saw this week when I went for an MRI was someone taking a homeless person into the radiology center for a scan.
But when the lady asked for insurance the person didn't have any, so the lady asks for "proof of homelessness."
I was flabbergasted at this as the guy was obviously homeless and literally was wearing tattered clothes.
They wouldn't do the scan until the person escorting him would come back with this proof.
I felt so bad for him and thought to myself is this what the healthcare system and care for the poverty-striken in this country has come to?
While I am so truly grateful for the miraculous care that I received this week, I am equally saddened at the care that others don't get that need it, and pray that we as a "caring society" will do better.
Anyway, I want to express my gratitude to the doctor, the hospital, my wonderful family who stood by me, and most of all to G-d for seeing me through the procedure this week and for watching over me always. ;-)

Happy Sock Faces
I was tempted to even buy some.
But the faces were on the feet.
So you couldn't see them around the ankle when you wear them.
If you wear the socks without shoes then you can see the cartoon faces.
However, then you also wear out these fun socks
I'm in for fun socks.
Just have to get the faces in the right places. ;-)
