On-Line Comic
My sons, Luke
and Jake
have been working on a graphic novel together even though Luke's away at school (the University of Oregon). Plus, the two of them put together an on-line comic strip. I just thought I'd share my sons' on-line comic link.
If you're not easily offended by boy humor, check it out here.
(P.S. I don't know why Luke's photo is so much bigger...honest)

ANSWER TO THOUGHT FOR THURSDAY AND EARTH-FRIENDLY FRIDAY
Answer to Thought for Thursday: To stop them from stealing pepper, it was used as currency at the time.
Now for EARTH-FRIENDLY FRIDAY: With the high price of gasoline and the recession hitting the economy and all of us pretty hard, why don't we try walking a little more? Rather than going for a Sunday afternoon drive, why don't we all go for a Sunday afternoon walk? It will be good for the heart, health and be Earth-Friendly too. We don't have to do a lot, if we all do a little, we can make a big difference.
And, if you happen to live in Portland, Oregon, you just might be in luck because my hometown is one of the top ten most walkable cities in the country. Check it out here.
