I Am Not Dead, or Let's Have a Holiday

Hi everybody! Remember me?

After a furiously full fall I am back online and bloggin'. What have you missed? Well, here are the highlights of

Keith's Fall of Fun, 2006

First, I had tons of gigging to do. This involved trips to Albuquerque, Atlanta, and other places I can't remember right now. I like the southwest, by the way. It's sunny there. Here in Indiana it is gray and overcast for about 6 months of a year.

I also worked. A lot. At my "job". Then I finished my transcription for my doctoral project. w00t!! I'm taking 2 weeks off in February to get the d&#n thing done.

I got to ride in an ambulance to the emergency room! The short version: I had a stomach bug/food poisoning and nearly shat myself into a coma. The projectile vomiting was also a contributing factor. Blood sugar dropped to 50 (bad!), I started to go numb (very bad!!) and my speech became slurred (call the ambulance please!!!). Anyway, an IV full of glucose, another of fluids, another of anti-nausea and I was on the road to (physical) health. It was one of those death-taps-you-gently-on-the-shoulder kinda experiences. Also found out how much I am loved when Dom cleaned up my, umm.... person before the EMTs arrived. I was so sick I was leaking. Sorry for too much info, but inquiring minds wanna know!

Here are some photos I have made. (Also, I have no idea why the text is so big in this last paragraph. I keep telling blogger to make it "normal size" but it's being ornery.)



This was from a roll of film I found in my car. I took this at least a year ago, maybe more, on my drive home from work. Creepy storm clouds in the east above Indiana's verdant fields. There's another one I'll post later that's pretty impressive.










Once again, the cutest kid ever! He's waving at me from his little playhouse and saying "Hi! Hi!" as he is wont to do.












I really like this shot. Joey has this funny way of running with his arm held up like this. I think it's adorable!









I had another one, but blogger just ate it. Drat! Oh well, I'll do another post soon.

There is a digital SLR on its way with my and Dom's name on it. Yay! No more film for a while. But LOTS more photos, I hope.

kisses,
Keith
