The Continuing Adventures of Dr. Frankenstein



Someone once wrote: "...my perfect morph would be a concoction of Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp. What would be yours?". Well, not wanting to appear too "Gods and Monsters", I offer you all one vision of my own "Frankenstein Monster".

Question: What would constitute your perfect creation?

1) Take his big guns and handsome smile. Add to this the smoldering 'ready for anything' looks of his slurpy bud

2) Fold in a heeping portions of the boundless artistic and musical talent of Saint John and Sir Paul

3) Add liberal portions of the sacred truths of the ages, a cup of the Dali Lama's wise simplicity, a handful of Gandhi’s non-violent power to change men's hearts, and a generous helping of the moral strength of Martin Luther King Jr.

4) Spice it up with a pinch of Mahler, a dash of Stravinsky, and 1/2 teaspoon of Siggy

5) Drizzle with equal amounts of Genius: Albert Einstein and Russian composer Dmitri Shostakovich

6) Lastly, garnish in an "À la Carl Jung" manner with dollops of the "anima" (the female aspect present in the collective unconscious of men) with the origianl Dom Dyke, the Fire and Ice Queen: Greta Garbo.

If this recipe does not work out, throw a "Hail Mary" pass and order the take out dish shown below by calling 1-800-Big-Boyz

Hey
Thanks for 'The Kiwi' link.

I hope all is well with you in Seattle. I hope the weather is improving.

Hello Kiwi Kevin,

I found the best site featuring delicious pics of fruit in large format. That original Kiwi was a massive JPG that I had to reduce to fit into the blog roll size constraints.

The weather is remaining cold and more snow tomorrow (just in time for surgery day – oh joy!) before it is predicted to turn to rain and warm up to our more normal winter range of wet and sloppy. My earliest Rhododendron was already in bloom (r. “Lee’s Scarlet” bred in England to bloom very early, around Christmas) but the hard cold spell destroyed the flowers. The next one is getting ready to pop open. Will have pics of them for the next five months as they all bloom on their own internal time clock.

Will; be off work recovering until Friday. Take care. Will
