My dad just sent me this picture of my great grampa:
Hiram Dawson Warren, b. 1898, pic c. 1916
He looks just like my grampa and dad and uncles! My dad said he’d try to dig up some old-timey pictures of them, but for comparison here is one of my dad:
David Dawson Warren, b. 1953, pic ca. 1959?
L’il Davey is so cute! Don’t you just want to pinch those cheeks? Oh man, I love old-timey family pictures!

So my most recent crafty experiment in screenprinting is below: printing on the desk I got for $20 at a tag sale a couple of years ago. I painted it black, but that has been kind of boring. I was really excited about the metallic screenprinting ink I bought, and thought this would be fun. But then I went and painted the trim in gold as well, and I am afraid it looks too gaudy. Opinions? I can paint back over the trim before I seal it with acrylic varnish.

Today: Doctor Who Performed Abortions Is Shot to Death
Dr. Tiller, who had long been a lightning rod for controversy over the issue of abortion and had survived a shooting more than a decade ago, was shot inside his church here on Sunday morning, the authorities said. Dr. Tiller, 67, was shot with a handgun inside the lobby of his longtime church, Reformation Lutheran Church on the city’s East Side, just after 10 a.m. (Central Time). The service had started minutes earlier.
Leaders of national abortion rights organizations, meanwhile, expressed outrage. Some described Dr. Tiller as one of the only doctors in the nation who performed third-trimester abortions when the life or health of a mother was at stake, and said that his death would make it even harder for women in such circumstances to end their pregnancies.
“Dr. Tiller was a fearless, passionate defender of women’s reproductive health and rights,” said Nancy Northup, president of the Center for Reproductive Rights, based in New York, which had worked on a legal case related to Dr. Tiller. “It’s time that this nation stop demonizing these doctors, and start honoring them.”
October 24, 1998: Sniper Kills Abortion Doctor Near Buffalo
Hello Birmingham – Ani DiFranco
it was just one shot
through the kitchen window
it was just one or two miles from here
if you fly like a crow
a bullet came to visit a doctor
in his one safe place
a bullet insuring the right to life
whizzed past his kid and his wife
and knocked his glasses
right off of his faceand the blood poured off the pulpit
the blood poured down the picket line
yeah, the hatred was immediate
and the vengance was devine
so they went and stuffed god
down the barrel of a gun
and after him
they stuffed his only son
