I Blame The Red Wine.

Every year or so, I have just one glass too many and leave my credit card too near the computer and then, magically, I'm enrolled in an online dating site! How did that happen again?

And as always, the photos. Guys, the photos!! Here are a few of my favorite "Don'ts".

-Don't include shots that show you drinking shots.
-On that topic, generally, bar shots are a no-no. And house party pictures? Really? You're 42 and enticing me with a picture of yourself surrounded by dozens of those cheap red plastic beer cups?
-Don't crop out the ex-girlfriend if doing so also eliminates more than 30% of your own head.
-Limit pets to those that are furry, big-eyed and cuddly. No matter how cuddly, limit the number of pets in one photo to two.
-Do not include guns, swords or weaponry of any kind unless it is directly related to your profession (as in policeman, zoo keeper, sword swallower).

Sweater Weather

Suzanne took this shot when we were up in Door County for Pumpkin Patch Weekend a few weeks ago, enjoying the fall colors and layering up for the season.

Snappity Snap Snap

By popular demand, I've loaded a few of my photographs to a ProGallery at Shutterfly, which allows you to order prints (and mugs--I'm not so sure how I feel about the mugs yet) of my photographic attempts at artistic greatness...ok, I'm laughing out loud now.

Who Put That Wall There?

Poor Ruby got her teeth cleaned today, which involved doggie anesthesia. Apparently, it hadn't quite worn off yet when I picked her up tonight. Walking into the apartment, she took a direct right turn...into the wall.

At least her breath smells better.
