2011 - Thanks for the Memories

I think my mom put it best when she said, "you can relive memories, but you can't relive life."

2011, I am happy to relive your memories but quite happy not to live you again.

If pictures are worth 1,000 words, than the following "photo journal" should be enough to say "ok, shut up already!" about 2011.

Domestic Disburbance

Saturday night, Portland police responded to several domestic disturbance calls at the SW Portland home of Lindsey Marie Dery, a 30 year old woman who shares the residence with her husband, Joshua Owen Dery, 33. Police received several complaints citing that "recent baking and odd domestic behavior" was creating a confusion, jealousy and suspicion among neighbors.

"The smells are just too awesome" claims the neighbor next door. "Just two months ago their oven was broken and Lindsey didn't even know you needed yeast to make bread." In fact, police say the only proof that any prior attempts at baking had ever taken place in their home was the recent donation of "One Beat Pete" (their hand mixer with only one beater) to the local Goodwill.

Police believe the domestic behavior to be the work of a 600 series Professional Kitchenaid, the suspects mother, Dorella Marie Riggs and the purchase of a 2lb package of yeast at the local Costco. The attached photographic evidence was collected at the scene. Several pair of jeans that no longer fit the couple are set to testify.
