Ahhhhh!
May 31st, 2009A Great Example
May 27th, 2009Yep, I’ve let another three weeks go by. But I have plenty of photos to make up for it! On Mother’s Day weekend, we not only celebrated our moms, we also raised a glass (of pop?) to Grandma, who celebrated her 85th birthday, and Scott, who celebrated his first half century. Here’s a shot of the birthday boy and girl:
And here’s a nice one of Grandma and her sister, Josie.
Keeping with the sister theme, here’s a self-portrait of me and Jen:
This past weekend, I went to PY to celebrate Memorial Day with the family. Dad carried the Marine Corps flag in the color guard for the VFW in the parade that marched down Main Street. Hmm, I thought this was supposed to be a somber experience?
Here’s another shot of Dad, during the ceremony on the court house lawn:
And here’s a good one of Bussey in his fancy duds:
Finally, here’s a really nice picture of Mom and Jennie, chatting up a friend before the ceremony. I really like this one (yeah, if I do say so myself):
I’ll try to be better about posting as we move into summer (yay!). For all three of you reading this. 
The title of this post comes from a quote by Benjamin Disraeli:
The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.
Drive-By Shootings
May 3rd, 2009I’ve been meaning to post these for awhile, and now that I see I haven’t updated the site in ages, it seems like a good time. These are all photos that I took with my cell camera. Quality isn’t the best, but the moments were worth capturing! First, we have a man who was at the martini bar in Fort Lauderdale. Apparently, this is really how he dresses. I especially love the Davy Jones-circa-1966 hair!
Next is a shot of a martini that I drank last night. No, I didn’t eat the flower.
And here is one last shot from the Florida trip: A real-life (possibly the original) Boca Betty! She was even better from the front, but she was wily, and this was the best I could do:
Next we have a clever solution to the “we’ve run out of salt shakers and haven’t bothered to go pick up some new ones for a dollar at Wal-Mart” issue, courtesy of a Chinese restaurant in Dallas:
And this picture, of the clock at Soldiers & Sailors in Penn Yan, was taken in early December. As J.Po would say, “Global red alert! Abandon the planet!”
I’m not much of a car person, but certain things stand out even when you don’t normally notice vehicles. This was taken in the parking lot of the old Secret Wegmans on the corner of East Henrietta and Calkins. I’m sure there’s a “you can take the [blank] out of the [blank] joke” to be had here.
Finally, this picture was taken last fall, but the writing is (literally, I saw it the other day) still on the wall… of the underpass of Winton Road on the Canal Path. Fight the power! By spraypainting some stuff on an underpass wall!
