last weekend was the staff talent show. and though i have not developed sufficient musical prowess to become a pink-sunglass wearing rockstar, i do
have the requisite skills for background dancing and after-partying.
our hoe-down accompaniment to “airline to heaven” was akin to relocating my living room to the parker hall stage. we (jamie, allison, holly, kyle and i) marched/ trotted down the aisle to join the band (brian, joe, dave, brian and louise) on stage after i assembled my costume—straw hat from a stranger in the audience, sunglasses and overalls— moments before the performance. other highlights included “for what it’s worth,” “round here,” dave’s over-the-top maracas on “magic carpet ride,” the “so i married an axe murderer” inspired bass-accompanied stylings of monty and the rushing of the stage by middle schoolers following the staff dance.
our impromptu soirée was punctuated with hot-off-the-griddle pancakes, old monk and american spirits under the patriotic backdrop of brian’s american-flag-donning couch. a good time was indubitably had by all.

ps- we're very cool people as far as these pics are concerned
yeah, you guys look really cool according to those pics. i wish i was photogenic in the cool sense. instead, i just look like a lumbering ogre in search of manliness. whatever that means.
here is a haiku i wrote in japanese that my kids love:
rikishi desu.
fugu o tabetara
shinimashita
it means the following:
i am a sumo wrestler
after i ate blowfish
i died.
my kids loved it. they say it back to me just about everyday. good thing immaturity can make you friends with young people.

did i see a banjo in there?! remember matt bloss's band? remember when i wanted to steal him from his 50-year old fiance? that never happened...
nice pics yo. something looked extremely funny to you twos in the corner.
ashlee
p.s. did you really read anna karenina?
well, ashlee, interesting you should ask. that is actually a mandolin and no, i did not read anna karenina. those are simply books in my library, not necessarily ones i've read. (this is all in the voice tone of an film strip from circa 1960, get my drift?)
ahhhh!!! that looks awesome, i can't believe i missed it! link a recording somewhere...
missing ya'll from a land where the grass is blue everyday...
love, laura
ps, brian- the rug looks BAD-ASS
