What did you do this weekend?

You know when you ask that question of most people, you get answers ranging along the movie/yardwork/veg spectrum. (OK, for Ali, I'll add 'work')
What did I do? I spent part of it watching my 60 year old father get a tattoo. And not his first tattoo, mind uyou. he's got in the 3-5 range now. See, my stepmother got a tattoo in honor of her 50th birthday, and hasn't stopped. And Dad is along for the ride. So, they came into town for their annual trip to the Texas State Fair. And they wanted a tattoo from Freeway. So, there were the 2 men in my life I respect and care for the most. And they seemed to enjoy each other's company. The tattoo turned out great, but come on, it's Freeway, man. He's great!
here are some of the pictures.

It's the lower one- with the trees.

Damn Moblog

I tried to post this picture to my moblog, but it won;t cooperate.
Anyway, the wife and i were at World Market, just browsing (I was looking for ginger candies. Found ginger gummie bears. Yay!). If you aren't familiar with World Market, it's kind of combo high-end international market/international goods store. British candy, Indonesian furniture, etc. In my searching I cam across the most amazing item.
The picture says it all.
