Too Soon?

 

020

Its snowing here again on this November morning.  Its nice to look back at pictures from our warm weather vacation.  Is it too soon to count the days until we leave for paradise again?

041The Minneapolis mayor has been on all the news (Nightly and Daily Show) with “Pointergate”?  Perhaps Doug should be careful of his gestures.  He would hate to be mistaken for a gang member.  Too soon?

The next week is very busy and we’re off to Milwaukee on Thanksgiving.  I’m thinking about putting up the Christmas tree today.  Too soon?

Sunanda came back from India in time for the first blizzard of the year!  Ride on brother!

Why Does the Photographed Cat Leap?

How’s this for a high definition cat photograph?  I think you can see Sue in the reflection in Ravel’s eyes.  A black cat really shows the dust.  Where’s the vacuum cleaner. . .

We set up our mini tri-pod to make another attempt at a family photo for our Christmas card.  There were several of these in which I look like a cardboard cut out of myself with Sue looking small in the background.

This one looks pretty good but it was blurry.

The red T shift is my Houston Astros shirt that I seem to wear every 6 out of 10 days.

I’m really squeezing Nigel trying to get him to hold still.

Once we get the cats to settle down, I’ll have to take down my “pity the fool” faux-hawk.

1 to 71

Here’s the big guy on the day before his 71st birthday.  Happy Birthday, Dad!  “University of Minnesota Health” is the new name of the medical center where I work.  I think I still work for Fairview but with all of the name changes, it is difficult to know what to call it.

This is an interesting variety of cow that can be (and was) found in Maine.  Note the bold vertical racing strip.

We were near the venerable US 1, a road that I am dubbing, “The Atlantic Coast Highway”.  The Pacific Coast Highway (the 101) goes through Hollywood, California and the Atlantic Coast Highway goes through Hollywood, Florida.  (I didn’t verify that on a map).

Here’s a picture of my Fall of 2014 beard.

Now that winter is starting and we have snow in the forecast for Monday, I thought I’d post a photo of the infinity pool at Live Aqua in Cancun.  We’re going here again on Sue’s Spring Break.

Sue is downstairs making an appetizer like this one for a party we’re going to tonight at Mike, my coworker’s house.  Tomorrow I have a concert with my band at the Jewish Community Center in St. Paul.  4pm.  $5 per ticket. Broadway, Big Band, and Israeli folk songs.

Dignity Restored

After the embarrassment of wearing a costume more than once in the past week, Ravel’s natural regal dignity has been restored.

All is right with the world.
