Absolutely awesome how much Danny Lyon and Cleveland Ohio there is in this edition of In Focus.

¡¡¡¡TROMBONE!!!!

 

You can't imagine the joy on this boy's face making noise with this thing.  It may in fact, see him through the hard work that is ahead.

Wait, what? Summer is over?

Our first and only year in the big school all together. Fin is worried about the new teacher. Ellie is raring to go having made it though the entirely wasted year of Second Grade at Immaculate Conception. Joey is also worried, as he has a zombie robot for a teacher and doesn't know who is in his class. Bobby thinks he won't get in trouble for his hair if he's well behaved.

Group stage wraps up

Be sure to read All White Kit's wrap-up of today's results, because it wasn't all about not wearing a sports bra.

Flickr still can't figure out how to let me post this to a weblog from a mobile phone. Sad.

 

This is what happens when Mom yells at your siblings for repeatedly asking what is on the menu tonight. Fin does everyone the courtesy of making a sign.

Christmas Music

I've got an unabashed, and relatively indiscriminate love for Christmas music.  From early December on through New Years you'll get Pavorati's Adeste Fideles followed by Louisiana Santa, then Sinatra's Adeste Fideles, and so on. Really the only way I'll hate your Christmas song is if you do an cravenly uninspired cover like Lady Antebellum does to Baby it's Cold Outside.

No Christmas music brings more joy to 256 than the annual DJ Riko mix, and this year is no exception, as Riko brings a version of the kids favorite Cee-Lo hit that they can actually sing at school.  Download them all. You won't be disappointed.

40 and Sporty

I am told that this shirt is some sort of family tradition, but then I always fall for that line...
