Michael and Sara
Michael and Sara Danese, at two weeks old. I can’t see Michael’s ears but Sara is going to be very intelligent, by the size of her earlobes.

Come to Fabulous Grnfxg
This is what I did in high school biology class instead of taking notes.
Note that these friendly aliens are promoting the “Grnfxg Tourist Commission.” I think Grnfxg must be in the Oort Cloud.
1979 was the pinnacle of my doodling years. I don’t think my creations reached a similar peak since then.

Halloween Costumes
As a child I was always ambivalent about Halloween. On the one hand, I liked to dress up and be creative about it, on the other, I was painfully shy and felt embarassed about trick-or-treating. I don’t think I did a real candy-begging circuit until I was 10, and that was only because my best friend and [...]

Strange Washington
We all know New Jersey is weird. But the state of Washington can be pretty strange too. Where else can buy, for the right price, a Titan missile base?
Or relax in a local park with a giant cowboy hat and boots?

It’s a boy!
I am a sucker for kittens. When I went to the recycle dumpster this morning and threw in my newspapers, I heard a very loud meowing. Thank goodness it wasn’t coming from inside the dumpster, because then I would have had to climb in, and that would not have been a pleasant sight!
But [...]

Two New Members
I would like to extend a warm welcome to the two newest members of the KDW clan, Sara Elizabeth and Michael Anthony Danese, born on October 12, 2007 to Emily and Vincent (Enzo) Danese. They would speak for themselves, but I think their mouths are full of milk at this point.

Sometimes the Best Intentions Go Horribly Awry
The box said dark red. The mirror said Bozo!
You know it’s bad when you go to get gas and the guy who pumps the gas comes over to the car and says “Oh my God! What did you do?!”

Spooky Stories
Since it’s getting close to Halloween, I thought I’d post a few ghost stories. I know Barb has some.
I haven’t had a lot of ghostly encounters per se — my experiences with the supernatural have tended towards dreams, or “feelings” — but one I remember was when I was 10 years old. Joan (Dittrich) was babysitting me [...]
