Yes, a frequent lament of mine as well....

I find the concept of 10,000,000 light years a real challenge to comprehend, I don't know about you. The idea of light traveling at 299,792,458 meters per second (in a vacuum of course..), and --relatively speaking -- really not getting anywhere in a year's time. Speaking of hallucinogens, if that previous thought doesn't leave you feeling a little bit like Alice in a Lewis Carol sort of way I don't know what does.

I have always found it fascinating that you can look up at the sky and some of what you see are stars, but many are entire galaxies like our own Milky Way. The enormity of the Universe is tough to comprehend. I thought the state of Kansas was a long drive.

I always thought that atoms and galaxies looked suspiciously similar - especially when stoned.

And I have always been in touch with the Alice side of my personality without needing drugs to get there. The world has always had a schmeared sort of bizarreness to me. Kind of like this guy - picture him saying in a UMass Amherst/Deadhead accent saying " Oh WOW, man!:

I have no good pics of my entire family on the digital camera. This is probably due to the fact that I've got the oldest digital camera known to mankind and it takes horribly fuzzy pictures.

I'll throw a couple of pics up here and see if I can convince Mrs Pookie to have her picture taken w/ me.... That's painful you know.

My oldest son last June.

My dog. My demented brother had a little fun with this one.

Here's my den/office/get away from the wife room.... Notice the big Pats picture on top of the old sofa. What's peculiar about that picture?

Hey I think I know what is wrong with the picture. Is that something hiding behind your chair. I would put money on it being your dog, but couldn't it also be the remnants of Kevin Lee's football career.

Nah, that's just a box of pictures and junk. My Pats picture has got Terry Glenn, Curtis Martin, Drew Bledsoe and Ben Coates. Of course none of which play for the Pats any longer. But I can't bring myself to get rid of the picture.
