A Bit of A Bit of Fry and Laurie

This video is especially for Christa, who enjoys House but has never seen all of the other incredible stuff Hugh Laurie has done. The clip is from A Bit of Fry and Laurie. I also love his "colleague" (so they call each other), Stephen Fry.

deer meat

My coworker told me all about the virtues of deer meat yesterday. Did you know that when your son kills a deer, it costs only $60 to have it slaughtered (extra to get jerky made). This deer will yield about 50 pounds of meat, which means you will have to keep half in your freezer, and half in your mother's freezer. You can have bologna (pronounced "baloney" or "bal-oh'-na", alternately) made from it, even. Delish by all accounts. This meat is very lean (ever see a fat deer?). And if you didn't tell your husband it was ground deer, he would have eaten it for sure. But it reportedly IS an acquired taste.

Here are a few more pictures of Aubrey, taken by Rebekah.

mixed metaphor

Quotation, heard at work today: "Push the envelope all the way to shore."

This is where Jerry and I spent the weekend, the Red Fox Inn bed and breakfast, established in 1728, in Middleburg, VA. It was wonderful. It was a two bedroom suite. One of the rooms is pictured below. Lots of good shopping too. I bought my new purse there.

some hieroglyphics

Check out this new post that my friend Eva made about Aubrey on her blog. It's always nice when other people do the bragging for you.


Here are some hieroglyphics for your enjoyment:

Here is Aubrey (the one on the left) in the February/March 2010 edition of Girls' Life magazine. They did her hair and her makeup and provided the clothes. The photoshoot was done in an ice skating arena. I'm so proud...
