The Adventures of Me and My Mommy

` I can thank my Crappy Digital Camera for granting me only fourteen whole Crappy Digital Photos (this time!) for the past three days. You know why? On Thursday, I picked up a very special visitor from the airport...

` ...My Mommy!

` I drived her around and showed her all the crazy things... where I used to live, the crazy cartoon house, etc. And then we went to a park and looked out over the water.

` Isn't it nice?

` But, soon we were both tired (she had been awake since midnight our time) and at around seven thirty or so, I dropped her off at The Zombie Bear motel....

` On Friday, while my laundry was in the dryer, we went to see the protestors.... Apparently the Republicans had killed and eaten the Democrats!

` After laundry, we went down to a place where the trees and ferns are uncommonly blurry....

` ...It's the place near a beach. And then we went over the bridge and onto the beach! She took a picture of me in my conservative bathing suit. (My other bathing suit is broken.)

` She was also nice enough to start out a fresh video tape of me swimming from the far distance and crawling up the beach - taking about two minutes - ending with my pointing skyward and saying... "It's...."
` There's some cultural significance to that.
` I got all tired swimming around and eventually fell asleep.

` Today, my mommy took me clothes shopping! Finally! I have been able to assuage my bra shortage and get a couple of pairs of hiking pants to boot!
` It was really tiring and she eventually collapsed....

` Later on, I was really tired so Lou drove us to the little town of Mukilteo, which is trapped between Everett, Lynwood and Edmonds. Having to delete my other pictures of the trip, here is the view as we approached the ferry docks:

` A building somewhere under the bridge to the right is where we went next... a little brewery called the Diamond Knot.

` We went in and ate some nice beer and salad. In fact, Mom even managed to harness the power of the sun and developed the ability to glow!

` Hey, isn't that a leprechaun back there, holding up the reddish lantern? Crazy. Well, that's the Diamond Knot! A place where there's a genuine diamond knot in every table and a... what's that back there?

` Oooh! Shiny!

` After much eating, we went outside and ran into a bunch of people who were watching this big, firy ball as it crashed into Whidbey Island.

` Craving a closer look, we went out onto the floaty dock....

` Isn't it pretty? After that, I drove us to our apartment where Lou and I entertained her with much song, and at the point of exhaustion, I took her back to the Zombie Bear.
` ...So that's what I've been doing all this time. Plus, I'm currently dying of dry eyes. If only Ben Stein were here, he could help me!
