tomfoolery. strange ideas. eclectic prattle.

Combining the hard-core dedication of Kristi, and the tattoo aspect of Kristina’s picture, our friends Caitlin and Christopher went a step further and had their beautiful son Nathan tattooed with the number 9 just for this countdown.  You crazy Portlanders! Nathan, now you’ll always have something to remind you of the 2008 election season. Thanks, ya’ll!

Oh, my! Kristina shows off her awesome tattoo in honor of 10 days to go! (Yes, boys, she is available, but trust me–you won’t make the cut. Hugh Laurie, if you’re reading this, she’s a fan, so call me–you might make the cut.)

Somehow, I forgot to include this picture yesterday. Kristi is so hard-core, she took this picture while she was ON SAFARI in the African bushveldt. Thanks, Kristi!

Thanks, Tadd and Annie! But why not just make ten louder?

Oh, right. Because it goes to 11. Got it.

Thanks, Sam!

Thanks, Maya and Jonah! (Jonah, are you giving us the stink-eye? What? It’s just the sun in your eyes? OK.)

And thanks to my former classmates Jerry and Rebecca, whose offspring are featured today (and Sam’s brother Jackson yesterday).
