Good Looking in Front

Please Update Your Bookmark

This blog is now living at http://www.andylien.com.

It originally started as Shifting Piles then diversified into various subject-specific blogs under AndyLien.com as an umbrella. I thought it would be a good move to make it seem like a cohesive website with multiple pages–each with its own blog–but it really just diluted everything. By spreading it out, it got really ugly on the back end. Convoluted. Daunting.

So, now it’s all living together again on one page…and, finally, with me. It’s no longer hosted on WordPress, but on my own server.

Mine, mine, mine.

Please make the move with me and update your bookmarks. I appreciate your readership so…and I promise to never change my domain name again. Even if I should marry a Rockefeller or someone with a fantastic last name that would go perfectly with “Andy,” I will keep the blog at www.andylien.com so as to never make you do this again.

Yours,

Andy

Thanksgiving Photoblog by Bjorn, Age 6

I let my nephew, Bjorn, take my camera for a spin on Thanksgiving Day. Here are the highlights, for posterity.

Bjorn's 4-year old sister, Kjersti.

Catching his sister cheating during the annual game of Trivial Pursuit.

Thanksgiving Day football game. Nice doily.

My dog, Grendel, in his hiding spot. Bjorn found him...

...and Bjorn hounded him like a paparazzo...

...until Grendel hid under the table to get away from the camera. There are about 5,000 more pictures of Grendel in various getaway poses.

Here I am, when I should have hid behind or under something to get away from the camera. There are about 5,000 more pictures of me, taken from the side or behind, which tell me it's time to get back to the gym. Happy Holidays.
