Image for May 25, 2011 - Dinner Out

We went out for dinner tonight at a neighborhood favorite place, "Zia Maire's". My nephew Jake in Wisconsin sent us a big gift certificate for that restaurant for Christmas and we needed to use it up before it expired. Tonight was the night. These flowers were outside the front door and visual sum up what a wonderful evening we had.

Things Fall Apart

Found this animation while surfing around on my lunch break:


Worn Out from Ryan Kothe on Vimeo.

A beautiful piece that reminds me of the Brothers Quay's work.

My first wood carving. I've had the tools for awhile, past time I used'em. This guy is almost done.

So what would have a "No Pregnant Women" icon on it? Anyone? Ah, come on, take a guess.

OK, here's a hint; I brought it back from Scotland.

Image for 5-21-11 - Hamlet!

Yeah! I finally got to meet Hamlet the cat. Our friends Casey and Laura visited today and they brought their pets Hamlet and Bailey (the dog). I've been missing our old cat Thelma since she passed some months ago, so it was wonderful to have a little furry fool running around here for a little while. Might be time for us to get another cat...

Image for 5-18-11 - Scotland Flashback: The Union Canal - Bridge 28

For today's photo, I'll dip back into the big pile of photos from the recent Scotland trip. This shot is from day two, our first day on the Union Canal hike. My friend Dave (pictured here) and I set off from Edinburgh and headed west covering the 32 miles to Flakirk in three days. There are sixty-two bridges along the route, here Dave is about to pass under bridge number twenty-eight. I like this shot because of the canal boat motoring by. We saw a lot of other canal boats, but they were usually docked and not "in action". I have posted on Flickr the better pictures from Day one of the trip. More photos from the trip soon.
