Showing posts with the label handsome

In revolutions authority remains with the greatest scoundrels.

Yes Ezra, there is a Santa Claus.

Only kings, presidents, editors, and people with tapeworms have the right to use the editorial "we."

Henry finds a sausage. Or maybe it was a U.F.O. One of the two...

The supreme accomplishment is to blur the line between work and play.

Ezra is always keen on getting up close and personal with the wildlife. Henry, well Henry prefers to keep his distance…

A story has no beginning or end; arbitrarily one chooses that moment of experience from which to look back or from which to look ahead.

Couldn't you just see this face on a bottle of salad dressing?

The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there.

Handsome Henry harnesses his habromania.

It is always good men who do the most harm in the world.

No, he isn't drunk.

A person is a person because he recognises others as persons.

" Fast Feet " That's my new nickname for Henry. Look at that blurring on the feet there. Look at it! They saw that Mark Waugh was all about the wrists, well – incredible volume aside – Hank is all about the feet. Malcolm Marshall used to do a little foot stomping number before charging in to hurt some poor soul, well Henry does the same. Whatever it is he aims to hurt.

Fishes live in the sea, as men do a-land; the great ones eat up the little ones.

Let me assure you that this jumper looks far better when Henry (or indeed Ezra) is not afflicted with a cold. Black is not a colour that renders the tell tale signs of a runny nose inconspicuous.

Everything that has a beginning comes to an end.

As expected, I am missing the Grand Old Dame terribly . I am getting a sense of what life will be like when the knock her down for good. However, we shall always have our memories.

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

Why Ezra, you're so HANDSOME. Smart too...

You must write for children in the same way as you do for adults, only better.

It turns out, when push comes to shove and the car lays broken down on the top of a mountain, Ezra is of as little use as his father in matters automotive.

To be absolutely honest, what I feel really bad about is that I don't feel worse. There's the ineffectual liberal's problem in a nutshell.

Here is an old photo of a fresh faced Henry in awe of the bubbles at his second birthday party. Oh how things have changes in but a single year!

Love loves to love love.

Ez and Jen: just hangin' out.

The future is not what is coming at us, but what we are headed for.

Late afternoon, just finished the gardening, time to kick back with a cold drink and a muse on vital metaphysical conundrums: "Why [indeed] don't we do it in the road?"

We must be very careful when we give advice to younger people: sometimes they follow it!

Some people say that it's the dimples that make the smile. Personally, I reckon that it's the eyes .

It is of the nature of desire not to be satisfied, and most men live only for the gratification of it.

Last time I posted one from this series, I copped some flak for comparing Henry to Audrey Hepburn, the implication being that he will resent it. I've taken that on board, so this time I will say that Henry reminds me of Audrey Tautou .

Motherhood is the strangest thing, it can be like being one’s own Trojan horse.

Henry, hard at work trying to crack the Da Vinci code. Quick tip Henry, it was Judas .

Try to become not a man of success, but try rather to become a man of value.

I'm tired, and he's cute. More of the same then...

Men become civilized, not in proportion to their willingness to believe, but in proportion to their readiness to doubt.

Ladies, ladies, ladies. Cool your jets. There's plenty of stud to go aound. Just be patient and wait your turn.

Conscience is the inner voice that warns us somebody may be looking.

It's another hairy Henry this evening, this time holding out a n olive branch stick for all the peoples of the world. Don't trust him peoples. As soon as you get close enough, he's liable to whack you with the stick and make a run for it!
