The Day the Music Died

Henry: "What are we doing today, Momma?"

Today is "The Day The Music Died" day, in honor of Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and the Big Bopper, who died in a plane crash on Feb 3, 1959.

Zachary: "I'm feeling a bit washed out."
Henry: "Definitely faded."

That's the way pictures looked then. See:

I particularly liked the last one, above, and tried to match the background/colors/tones as best I could with what I had on hand.

Zachary: "Whew. I thought you forgot to pay the Color  Bill."
Henry: "I don't want to be all wishy washy forever."

Umm… I don't think there is a such a thing a Color Bill, Zachary, and it's only a picture Henry.

You haven't changed at all.

Zachary: "Just wait. It'll come. And if you don't pay it..."
Henry: "Oh dear."

Against a Swirling backdrop, the boys do their best Ritchie Valens (Zachary on the left) and Buddy Holly (Henry) making Beautiful Music together.

The main background fabric is actually quite vibrant (I used it once for a Flower Power album cover challenge) but subdued it by overlaying with a lightweight black mesh with shiny colored dots (and lowering the image saturation).

While the mesh obscured the swirl more than I would have liked for the challenge, I'm actually rather pleased with how it came out in the end.

Zachary: "What did I tell you?"
Henry: "Gray Retriever just doesn't have the same ring to it."

The Big Game

No… not THAT Big Game, THIS Big Game…

Henry: "I've got the sock… I've got the sock!"

Zachary: "I've got your ear! I've got your ear!"

Zachary: "Touchdown!"

Zachary: "Oh yeah… oh yeah… I'm the best…"

If you ask me, the boy's play was WAY more exciting to watch than this year's Super Bowl.

Although the Budweiser Puppy commercial almost made it worthwhile.

A Fearsome Face - the canine equivalent of Trash Talking

The tongue lolling out the side kinda ruins the effect, if you ask me, but then Fearsome and Golden really don't belong in the same sentence anyway.

Super Bowl Pool

Zachary: "Step right up. Step right up."
Henry: "Don't miss out! Just two Cookies to play."

What are you two doing?

Zachary: "Oh… hi Mom."
Henry: "We started a Football Pool."

I can see that… and it looks like folks have been signing up to play.

Henry: "Signing up?"
Zachary: "Shhhhh"

You're not just taking their Cookies… are you?

Zachary: "Taking? No… not taking. They are dropping them in all by themselves."
Henry: "Not here. Nope. No Henry's here at all."

I think you need to start giving those Cookies back.

Two Dogs Together at the Super Bowl Football Pool.

Hmm…. I wonder if they are putting Cookies in or taking them out?
