Posted under VIDEOTAPE

Whoa. Kids just… I mean. Whoa. The expression “out of the mouth of babes” refers to an innocent and honest child saying something wise beyond their years. This is juuuuuuuust a bit different.

7 Dads Share Their Movie Inheritance

Posted under NOTEBOOK

Dads speak in a language all their own. For me and my father, our language was a combination of inside jokes, movie quotes and a shorthand we found from our experiences together.

Posted under SNAPSHOTS

A while ago I created a nightmare-fuel image of what a mouse would look like if there were a species that looked like our favorite jamboree-leading rodent, Mickey Mouse.
