Bradley chose Maus for a book report book. On one hand I feel proud he likes graphic novels, on another hand I worry it’s not challenging enough, on another hand I feel bad that I make such a distinction.

Unlike the rest of my pirate jokes I ripped this one off. It’s published in 101 Pirate Jokes, published a while back by the Emerson Comedy Workshop.

Bradley had the misfortune to be around right after someone had stupidly thrown a bottle into a campfire, exploding and shooting shrapnel into his foot. He had to go to the emergency room, get some stitches and keep off the foot for the past week. I made this card as a get well soon care package, and threw in an issue of MAKE magazine for good measure.

For Father’s Day we woke up at 3am and made our way to Chandler Hovey Park in Marblehead, Massachusetts to watch the sun rise over the Atlantic Ocean. You can see the rest of the photos I took on Flickr.
