"No, I wasn't even considering getting onto the table. How could you think such a thing? I'm just innocently sitting on the arm of this chair."

William with the loaves of bread he made for our dinner. The dough came out of the bread maker, but early so that it had only one rise. The texture was lightly chewy and the egg-washed crust just slightly crunchy. Odd-looking loaves, but really delicious bread.
Danny and William with a giant snowball they made while shoveling the remains of the most recent storm.
William with his computer apart on the bed. The power supply and the cooling fan on one of the cards conked out at the same time. He's fixing it himself.

William has an audience while shoveling off the back deck.
Ambush sits in the arm and back of Gordon's captain's chair. It doesn't look too comfortable, but probably worth it to catch some sunshine.
