Name:

This site has been set up to share thoughts and photographs with friends and relatives regarding Peter. This is a work in progress and will change and improve as time goes on. Our thoughts and ideas are, just that, ours. They may or may not agree with Peter's, but that's what makes the world go around (and seems to be an endless source of enjoyment). If your not going to respect Peter's opinions, than please continue reading. He is a conservative in every sense of the word. He feels that a civilized society cannot function without rules and regulations, rights and obligations. Letting the past guide us keeps our society from falling into chaos. Keeping the things that work, to allow for order and freedom, freedom for all, not just the special interest groups. Peter has come to realize that life is short. We should tell the people that we love that we love them as often as possible. One never knows when this may be ones last opportunity to do so. By the way, we will all be watching what is said, not doubt even his mother may very well be reading this. And YES, please wear your shoes into the Parlor!

Ode to the carrot



Ah, the carrot.
A traveler´s gift, you ooze not.
Your strong color brightens my seated world,
Your crunch diturbs my neighbor.
In 3rd world countries, your size is filling, not gaudy.

Edible until six months pass,
Tannins, mild,
Undertones reminiscent of
clover honey and wheat on a
Thursday,
Picked by a young peasant girl whose name must have started with ¨R¨

Because I feel it.
In my teeth.

You quell me.

I cannot find the words to describe how much joy this blog brings to me each day. It is a gift!
I wish to raise a toast to the blogger!

A rose never smelt so sweet...

It's nearly as poetic as Lucy Liu in leather.

Wow. I never realized being so completely 'over the top' could be so thoroughly enjoyable!!!

Does this make Peter a 'carrot top'?

I'm going to need a second State job just to keep up with all the posts on two blogs.

Why bother with the other one? We've eviscerated it already....well, I guess Expat would miss us. Yeah we owe it to him, lets all hold hands and sing kumbaya whilst deficating on his site.

Must we hold hands? As an Anglican I really don't like to touch people. Let's just sing your song from safe distances.

Once again I lay mortally wounded, speared by your rapier like wit! NOT Oh, Dr. F., danger lies ahead in the waters we are about to enter. It would seem that the gloves are off on this site. So hold on to your hand me down socks!

Expat, old Chinese proverb says "a man whose face is in the middle of a big carrot should avoid making threats"

Dr. F,

I just spit out the water I was drinking on that one!

Return to the square!

Remember Dr. F., I know the magic of this box we are all writing on. I can make your face appear on something even less attractive than a carrot. But that wouldn't be nice. I prefer to discuss the earlier topic of this line, but I'd refer to Buffy the vampire slayer in the leather outfit.

Go ahead Expat, make my day.

I think I like the direction this wind is blowing. I think I'll fly a kite.

It is a gale coming from the north, jo jo. Let's see if Expat has the stones to keep it coming.

I actually forgot all about this line. Let's see, DR. F. where could we put your likeness??????

2:26 PM  
Blogger Dr. Franklin said...

You don't have my likeness on file! I'm elusive with the camera!

I was depressed because I was very concerned about the physical health of my friend spilly after the baseball bat incident.

1:57 PM  
Blogger Dr. Franklin said...

I was not!
At that precise moment I was chatting with Dave McGee about the benefits of nanotechnology and the space program.
