Sam and Odo the Tolerant

	My cat, Odo, is quite tolerant. I came upon the above tableau this morning when I approached Sam to notify her that breakfast was ready (she was watching "Higglety-Town Heroes" at the time). I got the camera, took that shot, and then told her to smile. She grabbed Odo's cheeks to force him to comply with my instructions and the result is to the left.

Aunt Vicky and the August Visit

These were taken in August, when aunt Vicky and her boyfriend Burt came to visit with Sam and we all went to the part in the Triple-B.

They are so sweet I need to brush my teeth. They are so cute I might just pass out.

Gamer in Training

My daughter has stolen my Game Boy DS and is using it to hone her skills. I approve. A good dictator should have excellent hand-eye coordination.
As long as she only plays for a few minutes at a time. Not really an issue so far, since she has the attention span of a mosquito full of a meth-junkies blood.

The Evil Princess

And her Evil Dog.

As a Benevolent Dictator in training, my daughter often dons the accoutrements of royalty.
The trick is to maintain the benevolence.
