Keeping it current

I haven't posted on this blog in a long time (which seems to be the way I'm starting all the posts that I put on here these days,) so I thought I'd put something up so it doesn't look like I completely disuse it if the good folks at blogspot ever decide to weed out blogs that are "dead". So, it's Halloween, and I'm laying low as I am in the final throes of probably the mildest version of the H1N1 virus (pig flu).

Anyhow, I look forward to being healthy again, and to some fun weeks ahead. Hail progress!

A little input

Hello, all! I would like to seek out your input on an issue that has sparked a great deal of internal debate in the CD Luebke mind. You see, for the past month or so, I've been growing a winter beard. I'm starting to consider taking it in a different direction, however, and would like a bit of input on which direction I should take it in. So, I'm posting a few photos of historical and fictional figures who have facial hair that I admire (even if I don't admire all of their actions, which I do not for all of them except for Wolverine and Van Buren,) and I invite you all to make a case for the facial hair you believe I should wear. Thank you!

Martin Van Buren, 8th President of the United States

Leopold II, King of Belgium (1865-1909), and asshole supremo

Maximilian I, French-installed Emperor of Mexico, 1864-1867

Wolverine of the X-men

Grigori Rasputin, Russian Royal Adviser and holy man

Joseph Stalin, dictator of the Soviet Union, 1922-1953

Ambrose Burnside, Supreme Commander of the Army of the Potomac in the US Civil War

Let me know what you think - I value all input! Thanks!

Resurrection

So, yeah, I know, I've not posted on this here blog for a long, long time, and for this, I am sorry. However, when it comes to pictures, this site isn't always the most efficient. On here, I can upload one photo at a time. On Facebook, I can upload up to sixty at a time. Guess which I prefer?

So, instead of putting allllllllll of those photos on here, I am going to give some links, and a few samples.



This is from the Red Bull Soap Box Derby, which was in Dolores Park in San Francisco back in October. Here are the pictures which I took.
