SELECTIONS FROM H.P. LOVECRAFT'S BRIEF TENURE AS A WHITMAN'S SAMPLER COPYWRITER.

Few men dare ask the question “What is toffee, exactly?” All those who have investigated this substance are now either dead or insane.

Happy Birthday Adolfo
OK so yesterday was Adolfo's official birthday and we took him to the Aquarium for a ride on the Ferris Wheel where we gave him his birthday present; a Nintendo DS Lite! We installed Big Brain Academy into which he was promptly engaged. He scored a 45 the first time through but doggedly reworked until he came up with a sparkling 62 before it was time for bed.
Adolfo grew about 3 inches since his birthday last year and he has become a wonderful young boy that we are so proud of.
So give him a call at our home phone to wish him a happy birthday when you get a chance!

HOLY HILARIOUS

The Chavez's took a mini vacation to Austin this weekend as a last hurrah of summer before the start of school. In addition to spending some time in the water and taking a memorable train ride on the Austin Steam Train's Bertram Flyer, we were lucky to have spent a few moments with some of the most wonderful people in our lives. Thanks Todd for hanging out and being geniunely charming and loving. Paul, you looked great and sounded even better, hope to see you in an air conditioned place sooner rather than later. And congratulations to the beautiful Bonnie and her beaming husband Bruce for your lovely creations, Austin and Avery were beautiful and your house is lovely, thanks for having us. We hope all of you can make it over to Houston some time as we are always here with open arms ready to take you into the madness that is the Chavez household. I'm always looking for an excuse to cook, so don't hesitate.

Anthony did a great painting of Willie Nelson this week. Check it out:

Some O' my baseball shit....Oh yeah.

Story is this.
Was given the assignment to design stuff for the Yankees and the Mets since it was their last seasons in their stadiums....the old ones getting torn down and new ones are currently being constructed.

I made a whole mess of stuff and sent it out into the ether. I never knew what happened with it.

One year later I am given the assignment to make stuff for the same teams for their opening seasons in their new stadiums. So naturally I have to do research...and as I am doing the research I stumble across the stuff I had done a year ago.

So check out the opening page on Nike.com's baseball section.

It's all my designs. Some better then others. But pretty cool to get some recognition.




It is also on the MLB teamshop pages for the Yankees and Mets.



I had to order my own samples from the website since I never got any from work.

That's all.

At long last Myra's adoption has been finalized and i can introduce all of you to The World's Cutest Niece. She is an adorable little person who has recently mastered the cheesy photo smile (as you can see).

I have a sneaking suspicion that her big brother has given her some tips in the fine art of photo muggery.
