Due to an unexpected illness (are they ever really expected?), a friend of mine has an extra ticket to see "The Underpants" at Geva tonight. He asked if I'd like the ticket, so I'm taking him up on it. Sounds like it'll be fun!
Well everyone, here it is. Much later than I promised, but what can I say? I was very busy the last few weeks.
Of the three shots I took, this was the best. Everyone looks pretty natural (yes, that IS what Jerome really looks like) so this is the one you get!
Cheers, and look forward to seeing you all again soon!
This was indeed a great weekend of unseasonably warm weather for Rochester. I spent a good deal of time in my workshop working on my latest project: A krenov style Wooden Hand Plane. Its coming along real well and I suspect I will finish the woodworking this week (if the weather report is correct). Its a real cool project that has forced me to learn some new techniques. The book I am using as a guide (Making and Mastering Wood Planes) is pretty amazing. It goes into great detail on each and every step and really keeps your confidence up as it documents the possible pitfalls involved.
Mike had his annual X-Mas party this weekend. Good fun was had by all! We even got to experience some actual Myrrh! For those of you interested;
Myrrh is currently used in some liniments, healing salves that may be applied to abrasions and other minor skin ailments. It is also used in the production of Fernet Branca.
Look for the holiday group shot pictures to be posted within the next day or two.
Of course nobody's watching lost. It won't reappear on network television until February!!! In the meantime though, you have to check out this video's hilarious parody of a couple of serious Lost fans:
So I've been doing Physical Therapy for the tear in my right arm's biceps tendon and the tendonitis I got in my left arm (probably as a result of above said tear). They seem to be getting better, but its only been a week so I'm trying to be conservatively optimistic.
The end of the year is coming up pretty fast. I can't beleive its almost 2007! Time just seems to be accelerating. Hopefully this affect applies to winter too and not just the good times/weather.
Angela and I went to Art and Jess' games night this last weekend. I had a real good time - it was nice to just not worry about anything for a few hours. It gets harder and harder for me to just relax and not think of any and every thing that is going or could go wrong. I now understand why it always looked like the weight of the world was on my Dad's shoulders. I assume this would only be worse with an entire family depending on me.
Fred (My boss) has been judged a finalist in a national photography contest sponsored by Canon Inc. Here's the image he got in for:
If he wins, he gets a Canon Rebel XTI! You can find a link to the competition where you can vote for his photo here. Regardless of whether he wins or not, if you vote you could win! Please don't try and vote multiple times as cheating could get him disqualified, but please do vote! It would be great to see Fred take this thing.
I thank you, and Fred thanks you!
