Too many projects going on at home…we’ve severely fallen behind on photos of our boy.  The forecast is calling for several inches of snow this weekend so we should be able to find time for a few clicks of the shutter.

But for now, in lieu of photos of our adorable boy (who’s started all-out crawling within the last few days), I’ll leave you with my favorite web-comics to tide you over.

What the Duck – It’s about a photographer who’s a duck.  Genius!  Published daily.

xkcd – Not at all photography related, but appealing to engineers, accountants, and geeks everywhere.  It’s tag line is pretty accurate “a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language”  Published on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.  If you visit the site, make sure you point your mouse over the strip…the mouseover comments are usually just as funny as the comic.

Especially now that the weather’s getting nicer, it’s a nighly ritual in our household to take a post-dinner walk around the neighborhood.  Sometimes, when we’re in need of groceries, we’ll walk to the grocery store.  The store is less than a mile from our house, it gives us an opportunity to walk with a purpose in mind, it’s environmentally friendly, yada, yada.  Tonight we needed some more oatmeal for the G-man, so a walk to the store seemed in order.

As we were checking out with our baby oatmeal and applesauce, Erin’s interaction with the cashier went something like this:

Cashier:  “Hello”

Erin:  “Hi”

Cashier:  “Do you have a Pick n Save card”

Erin:  “Here you go”

Cashier:  “Dizwic?”

Erin:  “Huh?”

Cashier:  “Izzwic?”

Erin:  “What?”

Cashier:  “Doizzwic?”

Erin:  (ignored him)

At this point we finished checking out.

Cashier:  “There’s a WIC program that your baby food and applesauce falls under.  I was askin’ you if it was WIC.”

We proceeded to exit the store.

Ryan:  “I think he just asked us if we are homeless.”

It might be time to start dressing nicer and driving a car to the store.
