Ancient City 2011 figure competitor
Shots from the 2011 Ancient City, held July 23 in St Augustine, are up on the site.

I also managed to squeeze in a shoot with Sherry B. afterwards, so look for an update on her page soon.

You can’t hate someone you don’t care about.

Mid Florida Classic 2011 figure competitor
Shots from the 2011 Mid-Florida Muscle Classic are up on the site.

The morning drive down 17 was absolutely magnificent and I plan to do a “photo safari” on that road one day soon.

The show shots came out slightly darker than I like but still acceptable. Enjoy.

Okay, this is being made ‘way harder than it needs to be.

Here’s the new plan.  Adjust the numbers appropriately but you can see the model.

  • The first $20,000 of income is exempt from federal income tax.
  • Anything above $20,000 is taxed at 15%.
  • There are no exemptions for any reason.

Have I missed anything?

 

I got a cat for my birthday– long story–  and my beloved grudgingly conceded to me the naming rights.

My first thought was to call the cat “Shakey” because she was shivering after her alcohol bath, and there was also pizza on the way.  Synchronicity, right?

My wife disapproved.  I suggested that “Shakey” was short for “Shakira”, and that was an appropriate name because she’s wobbly and appears friendly but really just whines a lot  (the cat, not my wife). Still kiboshed.

I then suggested “Nibbler“, after the Futurama critter, and “Niblet“, a rather obscure South Park reference. No go.

So right now I’m hovering around “Pixel“, a blatant Heinlein homage, but  I’m still hoping to come up with something a little better.

Update: This cat has tiny little front paws, about the size of my thumb.  I was holding her and stroking her back and she started “making biscuits” on my arm… so it’s likely that her name will be Biscuit.

Wife is kicking the tires but tentatively agrees… :)

Tampa Bay Classic 2011 figure competitor
Shots from the 2011 Tampa Bay Classic are up on the site.

This was a nice, big show. I did think that in some classes there were too many competitors being judged at once. Not that I’m suggesting the outcome was affected, because I’m not. Just kind of hectic onstage, hence more of the “group shots” rather than all individual as usual. Enjoy.
