I’m writing this a day before publication (since I’ll be busy) so I don’t know how the views/votes for the “U” stories is progressing. Not well, I’d wager. Not a big deal since we have enough votes to declare a winner (one vote). OK, OK, I know a few readers are still planning to vote, so I’m assuming by the end of the round, we’ll have at least two votes. If we get three votes, I can hope for a three-way tie.  

If you are a reader of our stories and someone who votes, thank you in advance for casting a vote for your favorite of the three. Links to the stories and the poll for voting for “Alphabet Challenge U-Stories” are HERE(link) Votes will be accepted until noon, Chicago time, on Wednesday, December 16th.

OK, so these are the last photos from a Still Life contest I had entered. I mean, I had more, but this rounds up the ones I thought worth-while sharing.

Two things about this set of photos. One, I’m not going to explain what you are looking at. Two, I’m presenting them in reverse order of how much I like them.

I mean, like all parents, I’ll say I like each one as much as the others, but, you know, in a different way.

Which reminds me of this video about the truth with regards to favorite children. Yes, it’s a comedy, so don’t fret about the visuals.

Anyway, next up, my number two vaforite.

So, this is the part where I link older and longer posts . . . like the one at this LINK.

But, I thought I’d also try imparting advice. Well, not advice per se; more like an observation. No, wait; it is advice of sorts. Here, you figure out what it is; just click on this LINK . . . read the comments, too. By the way, this somewhat ties in with the slow traffic and voting for the “U” Stories. It really doesn’t matter if they are well-read or not. It’s the fact we wrote them that’s important.

You know what? I’m going to offer one more LINK . . . a written/visual joke based on a trio of photos I had.

And now, the last and — in my opinion — the best of the Still Life paintings.

And with that, this post is nearly done.

This LINK will take you to the SmugMug gallery that has the full-size versions of the above and also photos in recent reminder posts.

I’ll close this update with a gallery of the above plus their monochrome counterparts.

That’s it. This post has ended . . . except for the stuff below.
