Photo Challenge - February

The theme of this month's photo challenge coordinated by P.J. over at a 'lilhoohaa is "red". Now I was pretty busy in February what with participating in a daily writing challenge and all. I did find the time to take the lovely Mrs. Dufus out for dinner and present her with a beautiful bouquet of red roses. Lucky for me, nudge, nudge.







Click on P.J.'s link up there and see how the rest of the photog bloggers dealt with the prompt.

I'm afraid I didn't get out much this month. So damn cold here.

Oh, they're like a secret weapon. Sometimes I buy them and it's not even Valentine's Day.

You'd BETTER buy her roses... after your dalliance with Dylan. For shame!

Hey that was fictional. The roses were real, though.

Valentine's Day passed us by without much notice...too busy enjoying vacation. I did miss the roses though - that is until the front desk at our hotel gave me one long-stemmed flower in the afternoon. The next morning, I saw red rose petals on the ground at the parking lot for the Franz Josef glacier trail, where we stopped to make the required observations to log an earthcache. They looked sad and water-trodden, but my photo didn't turn out very well, so it's in the digital trash can!

Leave it to you dufus! There's a way to do the challenge. And a nudge, nudge ... what about the wink, wink?

I bought them and gave them to my dear wife…and have the pictures to prove it.

You just can't go wrong with red roses...unless it sparkles (nudge, nudge)! Mrs. D is a fortunate woman. :-)

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one. Nine or so years later when a brother, and a year after that when a sister came along number one son was moving on to Knight Rider and The Dukes of Hazzard.  But there was a nice overlap where his siblings picked up where he had left off with Polka Dot Door.  And Dad was right there to welcome them. So you're looking at a Polka Dot Door veteran.  The show began in 1971 and ran to 1993.  I didn't watch the full run but I did get in my fair share.  The formula was pretty simple.  A young male and female host, which seemed to change every week, sang songs, told stories, made crafts and generally did their best stimulate little brains.  The show opened as follows... Imagination Day!  Oh boy! ...

It's For You

I'm going to show my age here - and at my age be thankful that's all I'm going to show - but I can recall growing up as a kid in Toronto and we had one telephone in the house. It was a wall-mounted, black rotary-dial affair behind the door in our kitchen. If you stretched the cord you could actually sit down at the kitchen table while you talked on the phone. This was in the mid-50s, hardly on the heels of the device's invention, nevertheless - having been patented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 - it was still in it's formative years. Coloured models, the Princess phone, and the push button model were all yet to come, to say nothing of wireless home phones and the cell phone. The telephone, by the way, figured prominently in comedian Bob Newhart's early stand-up routine. In the late 50s/early 60s Newhart made his mark using a telephone as a prop and having hilarious one-sided conversations. It was a device he used for years. The telephone also played a ce...
