The Heck of a Guy Christmas Seal

Greetings From The Folks At 1HeckOfAGuy.com

Many of the holiday greeting cards I receive feature photos of families or the children, often with a pet or two in the mix so it seemed fitting to compose today’s post from some of the graphics posted in this year’s version of the Heck of a Guy Blog.

To keep the number of photos a standard deviation below overwhelming, I’ve voluntarily restricted myself to posting only one selection from a classification.

Lord of Leisure’s Photo Gallery

From Greer Springs In The Missouri Ozarks

The problem with choosing one photo as the best example from Lord of Leisure’s Photo Gallery offerings is choosing one photo as best.

McHenry County

From Plot To Disrupt School Board Meeting Foiled By Police

While I had great fun with the McHenry County Seal, the video satire on the deal to bring gravel pits to Cary, Illinois, the nonbinding resolutions of Carpentersville, and more, Cal Skinner being escorted from a school board meeting by the local constabulary for what I termed “suspicion of blogging, has to be my

Sick Bay

From Walkernastics

Between Prodigal’s long hospitalizations following his car accident that put him in a comatose state for several days and my hip fracture, there were far too many options from which to choose in this class, but this is the one I want to remember.

Julie Showalter was the fiercely intelligent, wickedly sexy, and loving woman and prize-winning author, with whom I had a outrageously wonderful 20 year marriage that ended with her death in late 1999 from cancer diagnosed the week of our wedding nearly 20 years earlier. Many posts on this blog are about her, our unlikely romance, and our life together, and still others consist of her writings. Information can be found at Julie Showalter FAQ. []
