Merry Christmas!


The Clark family, in pumpkin form.
Halloween time is when we always like to cover ourselves in pumpkin goo and play with knives. Here you can see the leftover rinds.

For Sale: Waterboards

  Although these pre-owned beauties have been used for Evil for centuries, they can now be used for Good, thanks to federal authorization in 2002.
  That’s great news for those of us who have wanted to give ’boarding a try, but were discouraged by the whole “Evil” thing.
  Much of our inventory is certified Made in the USA, but we have a wide selection of imports as well, including a Cambodian set from 1976. We also have several retro Japanese 1942 models, some choice “die Berliner” 1939 ’boards, and — for the waterboarder who has everything — a very special, very rare Spanish proto-’board from c. 1565.
  Congressional oversight committees have insisted that with each purchase, we include a complimentary “Use Only For Good” sticker.

The Clark kids (all four of ’em) pooled
their allowances and blew
sixty-seven dollars on fireworks,
many of which were legal.

Ant Farm: November 2007

Caleb got an ant farm for his birthday. We started out by planting ant seeds, so tiny they were barely visible. We needed tweezers.

But after letting the back forty go fallow, then fertilizing the furrows of formicidae frequently, and harrowing and watering, we’re finally pulling in a thousand bushels an acre. Unfortunately ant bellies aren’t a very lucrative commodity.

Campouts: September 2007

All the sixth-graders from Sara’s school went to Camp Killoqua for three days of outdoors-focused curriculum such as orienteering and archery.

Sara excelled at her classes, while her father was informed that if he dialed back a notch in the violence towards cabins full of sixth grade boys department, that would be terrific.

Caleb went on a campout with his dad and the Hi-Lakers. He got to do some fishing, some canoeing, help with camp cooking, and he had a great time making new friends.

The Oregon Cascades: August 2007

Our family vacation included a week with friends in the Cascades of Oregon.

This included a day trip to Crater Lake National Park. The water was so blue it could out-guitar Stevie Ray Vaughan, and the clouds were so puffy they could... uhmmm... out-hip-hop P. Diddy.

Randy & Kristin Get Hitched: August 2007

Uncle Randy finally landed his catch of a lifetime; the extended family gathered in Oregon to see who was gullible enough prepared to become a Clark.

Ring-bearer Caleb did have trouble focusing on the ceremony.

Sara & Music: June 2007

Sara ensures that the Clark family is always in the vicinity of music.

Whether Sara is tickling the ivories downstairs or at a recital, or sawin’ that fiddle1 in the back yard, music is always floating through the air near the Clark household.

1The use of the phrase “sawin’ that fiddle” should not be construed to imply that Sara’s viola is actually a violin, nor that the musical genres played by Sara bear any resemblance to any musical styling suggested by the phrase.

Evil Parallel Universe Liisa: January 2007

With dudes, it’s easy to distinguish between someone and his evil parallel universe doppelgänger: the evil one has a goatee. But with chicks it’s tougher.

And when it’s a Wii mii that just makes it extra difficult.

Which mii is the evil parallel universe Liisa?

And, perhaps more important, which Liisa corresponds to the real-world Lisa we all know and love?
