Diary of the Real Prince Charming

Us at the Andrews B. Hale Auditorium.


Photobucket
Rachel had the opportunity to take some "candid shots" with the camera.  


Photobucket
Oh Aunt Meg!


Photobucket
Handsome...


Photobucket
At least she got everyone!  Good job Rachel!  Too bad I didn't have a pic of when she met the Fairy Godmother and told her how beautiful she was and that she was a good singer.  Oh when she told Cinderella that both of their real names is Rachel.  Merry Christmas Rachel (Dudette)!


Photobucket
PETEY!  Why are you so big?  How come you are so squirmy?  


Photobucket
This is Buzz.  He's the newest visitor to my office.  Right now, he's wondering why I'm working on the computer instead of petting him.  I don't know,  Buzz...


Photobucket
This is a on temporary exhibition in my office.  It's called Rainbowl by William Kenneth Daw and was featured at the Memorial Art Gallery in their "Extreme Materials" show.  This is his bio from the show:


In the summer of 2004, Ken Daw challenged himself “to find a creative way to feed as many of my four-legged friends as possible, while inspiring the public to see the rainbow of beauty in the everyday objects that surround us.” Consequently, he founded Pawlick Studios, through which he sells his dog food mosaics to raise funds for animal shelters and promote pet adoption awareness.

Blades Of Steel

My wife showing off her skills she learned from the Ice Capades.


Photobucket 
A delightful Upstate New York winter day and Martin Luther King Day spent hiking and ice skating in Ellison Park


Photobucket


Photobucket
I posed for ten minutes to get this hockey stop shot.  Don't let it fool you.  All I forgot to do was photoshop a spray of snow that looks like it came from a snowplow.


Photobucket
Geez Louise is still at the office with a little bit of a winter cold.  Great cat and discovered how much fun it is to hit the "test print" button on the printer...


That's about it from the tundra of Rochester.

The Monster Jam! It Was A Grave Digger Smash!

Photobucket
MONSTER JAM THUNDER NATIONALS FEATURING GRAVE DIGGER AT THE BLUE CROSS ARENA IN ROCHESTER, NY!
You have to admit that my wife gets me some pretty awesome xmas gifts...


Photobucket
STONE CRUSHER!


Photobucket
Who will win?  Eradicator or Grave Digger?


Photobucket
GRAVE DIGGER!!!  


Photobucket
This is a truck line up out of my 8 year old dreams...


Photobucket
The Grave Digger pennant/the tattoo I'm going to get...


Photobucket
Monster Jam is really good at coming up with products.  Products like the Digger Disc boomerang


Photobucket
Or the Grave Digger hat that came with cotton candy for only $15...


Photobucket
CANNONLADY!  The ceiling of the Blue Cross Arena is so low that they had to fire her from the minimum trajectory, which was still really close to the ceiling.  We found out that her entire family does this for a living and her husband blew himself up earlier as "the Human Bomb."  


Photobucket
Spiderman would have been much cooler if it didn't stall every time the drive hit the accelerator...


Photobucket
GRAVE DIGGER!


Photobucket
Just doing a few donuts...


Photobucket
Maximum Destruction was the true master of donuts.  I have to admit, I was genuinely impressed with this performance.


Photobucket
BACKDRAFT right before that rear tire went flat and he had to leave the show.


Photobucket


Photobucket


Photobucket
Evidence of a hard days work...


Photobucket
Teaching Rachel how to ice skate!  The facilities at Monroe Community College are really, really impressive.  


Photobucket


Photobucket
My strange ice skating still life...


Photobucket
This dog is so cute that in the time it will take you to read this sentence, 15 people have already emailed me about adopting her.  


Photobucket
And yes, my job is so awesome that this puppy is considered "job related."


That's it for now.  I have a string of weird blogs that will probably continue next week.  All I can really tell you is I'm changing my name to "Andy Warthog" for an evening in Buffalo.  Even I don't know what that means...

New Years Eve With the Razorsharks

Photobucket
As part of my xmas present, Megan brought me to my first Rochester Razorshark minor league basketball game at the Blue Cross Arena.  Please let me introduce you to Finley, the Razorshark.


Photobucket
warming up


Photobucket
More Finley


Photobucket
Oh man!  My first Razorshark game is also a banner raising ceremony!  Now I can tell my kids that I was there when it all happened!


Photobucket
The banner!


Photobucket


Photobucket
Mayor Tom Richards throwing the highest tip off in the history of basketball.

Photobucket
Unfortunately, this ladie's half-court shot for $10,000 barely made it to the free throw line.  


Photobucket
The Razorsharks beat the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Steamers 107-98 in the 2012 championship banner raising home opener.  Megan and I had a great time.  Lots of great people watching.  For some reason, the pictures didn't turn out very good.  Hopefully, my next Blue Cross Arena event will look much better next week...


Photobucket
Well, winter started about three months later than it did last year.  Hopefully, this doesn't mean that it will ending in August to make up for lost time.  


That's about it for now.  Very, very busy at work right now catching up on everything with the holiday season.  So, nothing too exciting to report...
