Funny how the mind works. I write for a living, but I’m a “visual” person, too. And more often than not I take a picture (or see an image) that reminds me of another image. Sometimes it’s coincidence, sometimes, it’s a stretch, sometimes it’s planned, but mostly it’s just a wonderful momentary mental spark. Enjoy:
A COVID Christmas Card?Years before we adopted Duncan the dog, my youngest kid drew the fox version.The Scream and Luna: Separated at Birth.We were playing “Mexican Train” for the first time and my mind went right to Moonbase Alpha.Dog spelled backwards is…(that’s my Ringo!)Legit random Twitter feed coincidence years ago.I don’t think this was accident. My Realtor is pretty clever with the social media posts.That thing from “Return of the Jedi” and my nephew’s dog came from the same planet, I think.Our dog, Ringo, and some other guy. Bottom photo: Screen capture from lunch meeting on Zoom at work. Top: Supper.Was missing my dog Luna on a business trip and waled past this in a store window.Steve Bannon and Gorgon the Friendly Angel from Star Trek: Melt them both down.About 9 years ago, my wife and I presented at conferences on the same day in different cities. She was at the WHO in DC and looking sane and credible. I was…somewhere else, at a podium.JD Vance and the bad guys from Superman: The Movie; all of them deserve eternal inter-dimensional entrapment.John Cusack stole my style in 1983.John Cusack stole my style in 1985. Spot the difference: 70s me, and Dorothy Hammil.The second I took this pic of my youngest kid (right), I knew what I had done. Cheers!
