I like Florida in December.

Happy 8th Birthday to Jimmy Arnold!

Changing Tides Cottages in Madeira Beach, FL.

They had a manatee in the canal outside my door on December 15th. Look at the size of him!

Brian Arnold and Alli Arnold wish you a fun holiday week, from Florida.

Is YOUR shopping done?

Five more days...

Ferocious "Scalamandre" wallpaper

is even better in RED:

Truvy from 2004

She never got to be on the cover of a PLAYBILL but I just found this drawing and I still think she's sassy as heck. Wouldn't you want to be friends with her? Would you let her cut your hair?

C'est ci n'est pas le Nino.

OK, I hope you are sitting down. Chris White (Nino's dad) went to France for his honeymoon and this dog walked right up to him. Chris was totally freaked out, and now I am totally freaked out. Just so you understand, this is NOT a picture of Nino. This is a dog in France.


Chris and I always wondered what happened to Nino's brother (he had a brother but we were only prepared for one puppy) but now we know! Nino's brother (who we called Manny) lives in a little mountain village in France called St. Agnes.

More Nino

I just dug these pictures up from when Nino was a baby. Holy Moly.


And you can really see how tiny he was in this one below. Note the pee pee pads. Aww.

I know you love this face.

TOPSHOP, Top Shirl, Top Shelf.

I just found a bunch of pictures that I took in Ireland and forgot about. I can't believe how beautiful it was, how much fun I had, and how different my hair is now. Seems like forever ago, and it was barely 100 days ago...


This is at Powerscourt, where I finally understood the Irish term "SHADES OF GREEN".


I mean, c'mon! Look at this place!


While in Dublin I was lucky enough to see a real live leprechaun!
"When Irish eyes are smiling..."


Brother and sister.

Thank you again, Chris and Kelly, for having me for 20 delightful, delicious, drunken (who said that?) days.

The Wedding

I didn't really spend too much time taking pictures at Dave and Jenny's wedding, but here are some highlights.


This is Matt Gobile. I lived with Matt when I first moved to Seattle. I hadn't seen him since 1994! That's 13 years! Holy moley.


This is Matt's wife, Jen. We all lived together- me, Dave, Matt and Jen. She's a hoot.


My friend Chris Sullivan.


Trouble: Jen Ouellet meets Danny Canner.


Even more trouble: Matty Behan.

And then some...it was a really good time.
