Awesome theme, Jon! Perhaps Tucker relented to wig fitting in honor of April Fool's Day?

Hahaha, thanks Scott! And yes, but the red nose ball thing was a total no-go! :)

That's a cool shot. Couldn't stage it any better.



Caption reads: Zonk! ZZZZZZzzzzzzzz.



I have something in mind to spin up for this platform.

Thanks! I seriously thought about captioning that one, but decided to leave it to folks' imaginations. No staging involved, that's just Baxter being Baxter.

Looking forward to your upcoming entry with the lovely Meisha :)

One of my favorite memories... this was Salty's FIRST birthday party. The Rb and I had so much fun Skyping with Al and Salty and his household.
Al, I hope you won't mind if I enter this little treasure!

Oh my goodness, Gail, this is a perfect entry! I don't think Al will mind one bit. Thank you for sharing a party and a wonderful memory all rolled up in one!
