A view of the lobby of our building. The hangings above the couch? Why, those are classic buttons. (Cambridge, MA)
Blogger mnlop

This place is awesome. So, no guest room, huh? 

Blogger Kaahl

i thought i was going to get a place 

Blogger ewesa

I think buttons make a building better.
it looks cool, and funny about the church on the corner.

Those two windows are the ones for our particular apartment (one of our two bedrooms is technically an "office" with no windows, which we requested instead of a standard two-bedroom unit). Ceiling height: 15 feet. (Cambridge, MA)

Eeeeeeee!

I have trouble watching Tom "take photos" with my camera.

Our apartment loft in Cambridge (a former button factory, apparently) consists of all the brick portions on the right and center plus the center-left concrete portions (you get to our apartment by going straight back through the courtyard there). To our great amazement, the portion of brick in the front left of the photo turned out to be the local LDS chapel for the Cambridge family wards, nearly attached to our building. (Cambridge, MA)

Tom,

This is where you're supposed to be.

Fix me up an Old Fashioned. Just hit the button marked "Booze". (Boston, MA)

Nothing will ever compare to the initial response I had to this photograph. Never.

the SILO uniform has changed some.. 

Blogger jillmaren

sweet furry leopard print coat - it's screams "masculinity"! 

Blogger Monique

Thongs to match? 

Blogger mnlop

You guys owe me BIG time for convincing you to go to this hotel. In fact, I think you should pay me. Grab me a leopard print robe on your way out. 

Blogger David

This seems a little more royal tenanbaums than mad world, but I like it.

But who rules me? Nobody! (Cambridge, MA)
Blogger Jenni

You spend one minute on the east coast and the next thing you know you are wearing leopard print and tagging buildings. 

Blogger jillmaren

that is SO obviously a cell phone in your hand. Nice try. 

Blogger mnlop

ah man, you had me going there, with your breakin' the law charade and all. You ivy leaguers.

I would say that e-mail does, in fact, rule you.

It's ironic because you can see "4x4" on that truck out the window, and that's what they used to call me at school in reference to my general toughness with things. (North Bend, WA)
Blogger Monique

Shouldn't it be more fitting than ironic?

Oh, oh, I get it. You're just one big softie now. Yes, that IS ironic. 

Blogger Kaahl

the question is, why are you wearing a coat in the summer? posting old pics again? 

Blogger Tom

Perhaps it's ironic that I'm wearing a coat in summer, or that I'm actually postin pics from a very cold April day in Seattle. I know there's irony in here somewhere, I just gotta find it. 

Blogger David

this is possibly the toughest picture of all time. I think we need to record an album so this can be the cover.

Note to Karl: this picture may not be obvious to you so you may wish to move along to something more obvious. (Bellevue, WA)
Blogger Kaahl

Contrary to the erroneous posting on your blog, this picture is extremely obvious, but still very nice. Good job on posting some cool stuff. 

Blogger Kaahl

Much better than picture of a white-trash backyard with a greasy kid playing frisbee. 

Blogger Tom

Ah, but what if the frisbee in the hands of the greasy kid in the white-trash backyard says "Wellesley College?" You didn't expect it, you didn't. And Emily's husband is going to break you for calling their yard that. 

Blogger Natalie

Ooh...will you be sure to take some pictures of Emily's husband breaking him? I'll make the popcorn. 

Blogger Monique

So the offense is against the backyard?

I want to give Karl a Chicago-style beating for calling A-dawg a greasy kid! 

Blogger Brittany

Sorry to revisit an old topic, but I love the photo!

I count five people and one frisbee. (Salt Lake City, UT)
Blogger Kaahl

i love you tom, but what is the point of this picture? 

Blogger Jenni

Kaahl,you missed that it's awesome... Tom would say unexpected. 

Blogger Monique

Karl,

Your name is Karl. Not 'kaahl.' 

Blogger Kaahl

correction, my name is k. victor--prep for when trusts are named after me. 

Blogger Tom

Sorry Karl, I forgot to say "this is only for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear." 

Blogger Kaahl

Well, then, I say aye to seeing something a bit more moving next post. Move me, tom, move me.

I'm not a frisbee.

The lone reason to be at the Centerville parade this year, a golden-barked tree of life swinging zombie-faced youth over the top of the temple. (Centerville, UT)
Post a Comment     Link

The "tree of life" swings around and around. If you look closely, you can see a guy directly under the tree, perhaps representing Lehi. (Centerville, UT)
Blogger Natalie

I didn't know the tree of life was supposed to look like a metallic pygmy palm tree. How good to know.

And close up, joy on the faces of those swinging through the temple into eternity. (Centerville, UT)
Blogger Monique

This says to me. . .

Either get sealed or listen to really hip music and you too can gain eternal life! 

Blogger Monique

Wait, I'm sorry, is the bride straddling the groom?

That's just wrong. 

Blogger Tom

They were actually side-by-side, but you could only tell if you looked closely.

For the first time ever we left the parade early and hit Taco Time, which like the parade has gotten 20% worse every year. (Centerville, UT)

I have a friend from Centerville who might debate you on that Taco Time issue...she loves the place.

Great caption, man

You may be able to find this exact setup on someone's blog from last year at this time. Aidan is about 80% larger, and me, I've gained at least a pound in muscle mass. (Centerville UT)
Blogger Monique

And that pound is all gluteal.

Not super happy to be photographed by a stranger. For those local to Centerville, I think these might actually have turned out to be Travis Scabelund's kids, or maybe it was Shelby. (Centerville, UT)
Blogger Andrew

Yeah, I'd like to know which Skabelund they're attached to -- hopefully you said hello to them for me. I haven't seen Travis or Shelby in ages; glad to see at least one of their respective broods is still alive. 

Blogger Firefighter/Paramedic

Yes - can anyone offer some further information on the possible Skabelund children? And 10 bonus points for spelling Skabelund correctly.

This little piggy needs a hosing down. (Centerville, UT)
Blogger Kaahl

Yah, a good face washing should work wonders for her. 

Blogger Monique

Can we edit out the leg hair?

I find it distracting. 

Blogger Jenni

I'm only responsible for the mud and not the leg hair. I already edited mine out. 

Blogger Tom

Yeah my leg bothers me in this pic too, but it would mess up the photo to be cropped, and take too much time to photoshop into a tree, so I guess it is what it is. Sorry men are less attractive than women.
