Sunday Cute Shot - This Ball is For Ever

Whit Honea — Sun, 17 May 2009 20:54:00 GMT

It would appear that celebrity offspring are not immune to the power of suggestive selling. Case in point, little Ever is clutching one of those balls that every store worth its salt keeps in cages along a busy aisle (free the bouncy balls!). Milla seems happy enough to oblige her.

I'm not a math guy, but I'd be willing to guess that we've spent roughly $8,000 on these same toys. Damn the product placement!

Dear Obama: Success Is An Inside Job

HerBadMother — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:25:00 GMT

On the day of his inauguration as 44th President of the United States of America, Barack Obama received this message: love your wife, play with your daughters, BE HAPPY. Oh, and don't buy too many cars.

I would advise you to remember that you did not create the disaster that the world is experiencing, and you alone are not responsible for bringing the world back to balance. A primary responsibility that you do have, however, is to cultivate happiness in your own life. To make a schedule that permits sufficient time of rest and play with your gorgeous wife and lovely daughters. Not to mention your brave and precious grandmother.* And so on. One gathers that your family is large. We are used to seeing men in the White House become juiceless and as white-haired as the building; we notice their wives and children looking strained and stressed. They soon have smiles so lacking in joy that they remind us of scissors. This is no way to lead. Nor does your family deserve this fate. One way of thinking about all this is: it is so bad now that there is no excuse not to relax. From your happy, relaxed state, you can model real success, which is only what so many people in the world really want. They may buy endless cars and houses and furs and gobble up all the attention and space they can manage, but this is because it is not clear to them yet that success is truly an inside job. That it is within the reach of almost everyone.

That's from Alice Walker. She's awesome. We should all take her words to heart, because everything she says is within the reach of all of us.

Obamaland - The Happiest Place on Earth?

Whit Honea — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 20:02:00 GMT

Perhaps you heard that the United States of America has a new president. It's a thing we do.

The concerts, balls, speeches and parades are over- well, maybe not the speeches, and today President Obama starts putting his money where his mouth is. Or our money, as the case may be.

There has been much written on the Obama family over the past few days and it might be a bit overwhelming. Here, for you convenience, is an easy to navigate collection of posts, photos and videos:

Kingston Rossdale is What We Call a Baller

Whit Honea — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 15:02:00 GMT

Gavin Rossdale and his son Kingston played some ball in a Beverly Hills park on Sunday. No sign of mom Gwen Stefani, other than her obvious pick of diaper bag.

Notice Kingston's form and the follow-through. That's spot on. Looks like the kid has a fallback.

Pregnant Jennifer Lopez Works the Diamond

Whit Honea — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 23:54:00 GMT

Finally, J-Lo is big enough to fulfill her lifelong dream of being a home plate umpire! This little game in Miami seems as safe a place as any for a pregnant woman to stand, right? I'm guessing that this group of athletes have their skills so honed as to ensure no foul balls get near Lopez. That's a little something the boys in the big leagues call 'mad skills.'

In the first picture Jennifer is giving the sign for "safe" which is not to be confused with "incomplete catch" or "why am I here." In the next photo there is one out, or perhaps someone did when they obviously should have didn't.
