trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in.

it's just the kind of guy he is...
(a roll-your-own guy)

yes, she's gone like the rainbow that shined yesterday.

i was in minneapolis last week visiting family and friends.
oh, and shooting basketball.
had to stop by matt's bar in south minneapolis for a juicy lucy.
good stuff. add a grain belt and it's a pretty fantastic meal.

that ain't oil, that's blood.

i guess the downside of eating at the movie theater is that some movies don't go very well with food- like when a nazi is lying on the ground with brains and blood leaking out of a bullet hole in his head.

and she also keeps the cards that read "have mercy on his soul"

a little grab shot at a vietnamese place in the cities...

please tell us why you had to hide away for so long. so long.

you know what's good? elo.

know what's even better? the sun came out after weeks of clouds. at least it felt like weeks. most of the snow is gone now, too.

stick this in your pocket, it'll look like you're carrying a friend.

while his american fiancée was out on her bachelorette party, our british friend toby was taken out and taught how to hunt. he will be getting his conceal and carry soon after he gets his immigration papers and his wedding license.

i went down to the local arena.

this would maybe be ok if dude played hockey...

i'd follow you into the park, through the jungle, through the dark.

i was privileged to spend a number of days in lincoln the last couple weeks. luckily, my friend bronson let me stay at his house. the other bonus was i got to play with his dogs. well, they mostly just like to be rubbed.

squirrel!

***we were getting ready to go for a walk here. they usually aren't leashed together like this. bronson and andrea are kind and attentive dog owners***

you know i'm looking for miss linda lee.

obviously a sign you've had a few beers-

ridiculous. of course, she didn't spill much, so i guess that's a sign she hadn't had too many.

it's easy to sleep when it wets my brain.

it's great to see the ground again. it's all grey and rainy. irt and rocks and trash are all over, but it's still a welcome sight.

there's a brand-new dance, but i don't even know its name.

my friend sarah curated her first show at the tugboat gallery in lincoln. it opened this weekend, and i took a few snaps. i don't think sarah was the model used for the painting in the background, but she was willing to mimic it for me.

counting flowers on the wall.

this looked interesting as i drove by... not sure if it really "works," but hey, i needed something to toss up here. the snow is finally melting, and the temps are finally about 32. hopefully, when i get back to omaha, this scene will be gone.

it had two lights on behind.

mmm... margaritas and sushi.
