Yellow card question

Ahah! Here (maybe) is the yellow card question of the moment: (Which is entirely secondary to the bigger question, "How do I make it stick a yellow card on my blog? And then how do I keep it from changing questions once I have it there? And can I give one, all-purpose answer that will work no matter what question pops up?)

First Experiment: http://bulba.sdsu.edu/cgi-bin/lucien/yellowcards.py

Second Experiment (closer, but I don't see any yellow): If you were given an opportunity to be born again as a different person, what kind of person would you choose to be?

Answer: Well this one is easy. I was and I did, and in my new life, I was a lot like the old self, only better, richer, and more satisfied. I still fall short of what I'd like to be, but I know God isn't done with me yet. There was a time when I would have said I wanted to be born again as the horn section behind Otis Redding. (Ta-ta-ta-ta-tadily-tada. Let me hear it now. Ta-ta-ta-ta-tadily-tada.) I loved the way they were so in sinc with the singer. But now I am insinc with the one who spoke it all into existance. I'm not going to settle for anything small any more.

Reg Kehoe and his Marimba Queens - cww.at

As I continue to unpack from my marimba-centric world tour, the evening we recorded this, Reg and I were just sharing some cold root-beer when the upstairs neighbors started beating on the floor, and he invited them down.

Marimba Ponies- Comedian's Gallop

So where was I for a year? Last March I took off to discover the world's finest marimba offerings. As I unpack my bags, I intend to share these with you. Maybe this will only be my Friday theme. Maybe I won't be able to figure out how to post the links. But here for starters, all the way from Japan, The Marimba Ponies!

The sun never sets, as they say. This may explain what I feel so tired sitting here in my arm chair.

Pups

My fox family is now showing four. This morning, under the trees in the back courner of the yard, I saw both adults, and two half-grown pups. I still haven't figured out where they've been hiding up until now, and I didn't get a very good picture, but I think I've seen the whole family now.

A couple of stray visitors to my back yard have been the inspiration for taking the next step to foxxy blogging! My first hurdle was overcome when Lucien suggested using Flickr rather than my previous photo server. My second hurdle was overcome when Becka suggested I not attempt anything so foxxy with either of my dinosaur computers, so I will have to do my blogging on Vicki's almost current rig.

Now to the visitors themselves: One night last week, as I was prepairing for a swim before bedtime, our cats suddenly looked like fish when someone drops a brick into the pond. This male fox stepped out from the bushes under the two Sequoia trees. The cats came to stand by my side and we all watched each other. When the fox went back under the tree, I didn't feel like going too far after him in my barefoot tootsies, but made a vain attempt. Then, Sunday after church, I came home to find both the male and a female standing on the back wall. While I watched from indoors, the male climbed high into the oak tree, so I got my camera, and over the next two days, shot about 50 pictures, from which I have chosen six to post here, if you follow this link. I haven't seen them yet this (Wednesday) morning, but the female was sitting on the wall as recently as sundown, yesterday.

Here is my photo. How do I get it into my profile?
