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.

I'm afraid I didn't get out much this month. So damn cold here.
Katherine Murray said…
Ha ha ha nudge nudge! That means she let you have a night off taking out the trash, right? Right?? ;D
nonamedufus said…
No, I didn't have to do the dishes.

Ooh, ahh, so very pretty! I can almost smell them.
nonamedufus said…
They did the trick.

Nice roses. These things do wonders, don't they?
nonamedufus said…
Oh, they're like a secret weapon. Sometimes I buy them and it's not even Valentine's Day.
Cheryl P. said…
Very nice!! Hard to go wrong with roses.
nonamedufus said…
That's been my experience.
Paula Larew Wooters said…
You'd BETTER buy her roses... after your dalliance with Dylan. For shame!
nonamedufus said…
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!

Beautiful roses and a great take on RED this month.
jo W said…
someone was lucky to received such beautiful roses!
nonamedufus said…
Lucky you. Glacier trail, eh? Cool.
nonamedufus said…
And worth every penny.
nonamedufus said…
Oh, no, I'm the lucky one. (She reads the comments.)
P.J. said…
Leave it to you dufus! There's a way to do the challenge. And a nudge, nudge ... what about the wink, wink?
nonamedufus said…
I bought them and gave them to my dear wife…and have the pictures to prove it.
Lisa said…
You just can't go wrong with red roses...unless it sparkles (nudge, nudge)! Mrs. D is a fortunate woman. :-)
nonamedufus said…
You mean like crafts with glitter?
Lisa said…
Not exactly………………;-)

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! ...

I Am Charlie, I'm A Bore

Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, Colin Farrel...you know the list, it goes on and on. The list of Hollywood hick-ups who not content to meltdown behind closed doors have to drag each and every detail out into the light of day and share it with all of us. Well, add Charlie Sheen to that luckless and lascivious list of losers. In the past few days he's been on every major media soapbox complaining abut how he's been treated and how he's misunderstood. Last night he spent an hour on ABC's 20/20 "in his own words". Charlie, you should have stuck to the script. "I have a highly evolved brain". You know I never did like that song by Helen Reddy in the 70s "I Am Woman". But I have to say the melody really leant itself well to a parody of Hollywood's latest flame-out, Charlie Sheen. Although I never thought I'd hear myself say this, my sincerest apologies to Helen Reddy. And now if you're ready (a little play on wor...
