We're not all going to die of thirst and Jesus has a-risen, thank you lordy

Finally rained pretty heavy down this way and the Lake is swellin' to near 10 feet below normal and there's already talk of abandoning the water restrictions. Might even save a toad or other lake dwelling creature for a short while now...

So. In celebration of the downfall, I got jazzed to do an ascension. Like giving back? I guess so. The rain falls down, I'm gonna shoot a guy dressed in your grandmother's couch material back up. Yeah, and maybe it'll look like a Titian, Caravaggio or a Da Vinci... In doing this little project- and we're on for a big dinner as well- I caught myself believing Jesus and Mary M, that lusty woman of the night who was no member of any local tribe of Jesus lovers with her flaming red/blonde hair (strawberry, truly), really do NOT look like 17th century renaissance men just because they were so masterfully painted in those times. I like to believe

 they might look a little more like the way I shot them herein.

Cheers and good luck to Zac this weekend. I hear he and the rest of the Gamers for Jesus crew at Bowdoin are having a knockdown thumbfest with Colby College. Go Gamers!

Hey, will that be on espn2 after world cage fighting championships?

Many thanks to Rick Lesser, hair and make up for this mildly irreverent off shoot.

And to slimster, ignacio, my haitienne pal and the quite pregnant Iryna!
