A quick experiment

After a quick software tutorial on Adobe Premier Pro CC,  I used a phone clip of our neighbor's yard to make this video. 

I set a limit of 15 minutes for production, and ran out of time before I could do a dissolve/fade at the end... plus, I think I'm missing a comma. 

Wait, I found one!  ,

Boo.

We just blew our dog's mind

He's staring in wonder at our elaborate 

Halloween decorations!

Yesterday, I was on a panel for the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association. At it, I learned that it's important for authors to have a recent, professional headshot. Oops!

So goodbye, old headshot...

And hello, new professional headshot!

T-GIF!

Are you ready for your picture?

No. You weren't ready.

How about you two? Are you ready for your picture?

C'mon, people. You have to be ready!

Okay, one more time. Ready for your picture?

Now THOSE guys were definitely ready! 

In their honor, here's a bonus GIF of two good friends.

Whenever I get a phone call from "Unidentified," this is what I imagine:

This is the worst skateboard wipeout EVER

Brutal! 

As for this guy, what did he THINK was going to happen?

Finally, every time I'm like, "That's the last treadmill accident I need to see" — I see another one that I have to see.
