Great photos, thanks for sharing them. I cannot <span class="caps">WAIT</span> for the post about the Gotham Girls! I was in Arizona last June, and when in Tucson with my rock-a-billy drummer friend, we went to a show they played during intermission at a chick roller-derby north of Phoenix. It was awesome, though not as many fights as I had hoped. ;-)</p> I forgive you for your April Fool’s prank…I’ll admit I’m totally gullible!

Also, yeah, the Gotham Girls event was amazing. We had a blast. We took hundreds of images, but it was under low light and we weren’t prepared. Some of them worked out. I think Toby Joe got some better stuff out of it. It seems that I missed our very <a href="http://lasadh.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">own sherri</a> , tho. And here I thought she didn’t show up. Later, after we got home, I received an email saying she’d be there. I looked and looked but didn’t see her. Next time!</p> Thanks, Sarah.

The guy with the metal briefcase- skirry.

Pope John Paul was a great guy. A true diplomat, and a rather brave fellow. I don’t know who they have lined up to replace him, but I wouldn’t want to be that guy.

i think the same this pretty much carries suit to the catholic church too. i dont really think that this pope was ‘good’ in any real sense, and i really dont think that any of his successors are ‘good’ either.

unless, of course, you hate black people. then you might think that tens of millions of africans dying from aids is good, and notch the pope up a few points.

Just got used to seeing his face over the years. After I read more about him, I’ll make a decision as to whether he was “good” or not. There are folks who believe mother theresa did wrong. There are folks who love and adore Michael Jackson. There are folks who think Reagan was scum. I’m not sure one can say, with absolute certainty, that the Pope was a bad man. He may have made some poor decisions based on his faith, but bad? Not sure I can say that.</p> <p>We’ll see. I have to learn more before making a decision.</p> I don’t know much about the fella.

We’ll see. I have to learn more before making a decision.

One without words? One with one huge image at a time? Why can’t this be seen a photoblog with commentary? I was wondering that, I was. But I don’t expect a definitive answer. :]</p> i was thinking earlier. What constitutes a “photo blog”? One without words? One with one huge image at a time?

I fell for THAT April Fool’s big time.

Regarding your b&w photos mihow, they remind me of Jill Krementz’s (can you make a possessive with her name?) photos. Which is a roundabout way of saying they are VERY good.

I was there last month and apparently my presentation/work went over better than anyone realized. What to do? What to do! Remain a contractor here where I have a lovely little life or become a high-falutin employee type there. Ugh.</p> Funny thing is … it looks like I may be moving to LA, sort of as a first step in my plan to move to Hong Kong!
