in a nutshell:
...so basically a string of little struggles throughout the year. all in all the family and i are healthy and happy, but after a while all these little things really start to wear a person down sometimes. but, enough with the gripes. halloween has come and gone and that was fun. our four year old decided to be batman (again) so his little brother got to be robin and the wife and i were poison ivy and joker

poison ivy is quite a looker

joker vs the heroes

we also did up our pumpkin in plants vs. zombies theme - even won 3rd place at the office competition

and of course we did our civic duty as US citizens and cast our votes early - we opted to make a statement with a 3rd party candidate this year rather than feel bad about settling for the lesser of two evils.

it's really getting to the point where we are seriously looking into what it takes to move to another country - any good suggestions?
well, as we gear up for a busy end of the year Tatcat and i are still planning to get another shoot for her out, but life is keeping us pretty busy and time is just a slim commodity around here lately - but please feel free to check out her current hopeful set and provide any feedback to either her modeling or my photography skills.
and remember - visualize whirled peas ![]()
