Sasquatch, Stars Hollow, Lone Wolf McQuade

Henry peers at our house through the trees. He stays cozy in his down coat that he inherited from cousin Eli (blaze orange so disoriented hunters don't mistake him for a traipsing steed).

The picture below reminds me of that grainy 1970's footage where they show a sasquatch marauding through the woods of the Pacific Northwest. Except that is no sasquatch -- that is Henry James on the loose. He runs now. However, it looks like he is drunk and constantly about to fall when he runs. In the background you might notice our house. Within a couple weeks we might have it "dried in" (builder speak for having the roof shingled and moisture barrier up and windows on). Then we can get going on interior. There have been a few headaches but I guess things are going ok.

Sunday night was the official lighting ceremony for Chisago City. There were free carraige rides from horses that looked like the ones in the classic Budweiser commercials. Henry was impressed. There was also chestnuts, apple cider, open fires, Santa and what not. The whole scene was reminiscent of Stars Hollow we decided.

Henry can now say "please" and "more" in sign language. Although I think in his mind please means "I want". Now when he wants something he kinda grunts and then we make him say please and he makes a rubbing motion on his chest. Way too cute.

Last week I saw Lone Wolf McQuade for the first time in many, many years and was truly blown away by this powerhouse of a film. Chuck Norris paints an elegant tapestry of pathos and raw emotion as he does battle with nare-do-wells. Davey Carradine co-stars as a bad guy. There is also a wheel chair ridden bad guy midget with a beard. If your curiousity is not piqued at this point you better go get yourself checked out. Check it out.
