Great news for everyone who likes my photography.
I decided to bite the bullet and go pro on Flickr.
I know what your thinking...........it might seem like a waste....
but I thought I would try it out for a year and see what kind of feedback I get on my pictures.

So I hope to have some new ones up!!!
This will be the place to see more of the things I like and
of coarse a lot more of the smiling faces you adore!
I'll let you know each time I update it here.

so...
check it out!

At London marketing agency Work Club, a floor-to-ceiling blackboard runs a 22-meter length of the office. Every six months, a different emerging artist draws on it. Over the course of two days Mat Williams wrote out 288 lines first scribbled by Bart Simpson during various Simpsons intros.

I am still not able to come down from the excitement of the last episode of Lost.
What an emotional roller coaster ride.
That being...
I picked out a bright happy tune to get stuck in your head.

Abbott and Costello perform the classic
"Who's on first?" baseball sketch
in their 1945 film "The Naughty Nineties".
It still makes me smile.

With Iron Man 2 coming out this weekend...
My video this Wednesday is none other than....
Superman
The cartoons by the Fleischer's made in the 40's was the very definition of how a hero from the comic books should look.
It was a style that was lost until Warner Brothers started making Batman: The Animated Series.

It's a rainy Monday morning.
If the weather doesn't clear up...
it may cancel my first bike outing of the year.

I have been waiting to get back on the Ohio & Erie Canal Towpath Trail.
A while back I hit the trail with a friend of mine and we both thought it would be a great idea to train all year and do the entire trail.
This plan was cut short by the black hole of joy that was my wife.
Somehow the thought of biking just doesn't seem to matter
when the world you know is falling apart.
But no more of that....
I am setting a new goal for this October.

One trail.
(or parts of)

Two days.
(maybe)

Today music is a cover.
Enjoy!

Dinner at Silver Spartan Diner...


Lopez on Lee for some drinks...

and finally more fun at Panini's in Coventry.
Fun times; no party poopers there.

They say a lot of bad things about Cleveland.
But they have to at least hold their tongues when Orchid Mania is at the Botanical Gardens. Bella!
The Gardens put on a fine show this year.I especially got a kick out of the orchid smelling of chocolate.
I wanted to pick a song that captured the beauty that I saw this weekend.
