Last couple of construction pics before the reveal!



Last couple of construction pics before the reveal!



Now we’re in the thick of it! Some more hints for you!




More later today, and all will be revealed tomorrow!
Dear Reader, I’ve been late posting. So here’s two.

I have been hard at work. All sorts of fun. Keep checking in, progress will come thick and fast now!
Like last year, not much to guess from here. Tomorrow, you’ll see big changes. If I take a photo from the right angle, it’d probably give the game away.

But by all means, feel free to guess.
In the last year’s grand tradition of giving folks an ongoing sneak peak, we’ll now start posting photos of Jon’s costume as it comes together.
Rules of this contest are simple: no hitting below the belt, no gouging, no spitting, and the use of cutting implements over 24″ in length is frowned upon. If you already know what he’s going to be—due to him or one of us telling you—don’t spoil!

Again, we’re starting with a hat. The sharp-eyed among you will notice that it is Jon’s hat from the Russell costume two years ago, about to be repurposed.
Another pic tomorrow will really get things going.
Dear Tamiko
Thank you for letting me show you my mash-ups. I talked to you a lot. It was nice talking to you. Thank you for taking us to Sher-E Punjab.That dinner was good and I love Indian food. I didn’t see Chess with you, but, I like seeing the songs on the Apple TV. I hope you come visit again soon.
Love Jon

I had a good time at The Science Centre. First, I saw a film Under The Sea. Then, Daddy and I ate lunch. I had a hot dog and some french fries. After lunch we went to the Human Body show to look at the skeleton bones. I then went to the shadow room. In the shadow room there was a flash of light, and then I saw my shadow. This made me very happy.

Not a Van de Graaff generator.
After the shadow room I saw a video with ants in it. It was fun. Then we rode on the elevator to get back to the entrance. I love the Science Centre and I had a great time there.

(Jon didn’t mention this in his post, but the Science Centre had an “Amazing Aging Machine” that would age kids on the computer. It was a little tough for Jon, since he couldn’t hold his head in the right position easily, and his eyes were closed, but it came up with quite a mug shot! —L)

Young Jon, meet “older” Jon?
