ANGRY CAT!

Speaking of messes, this is not clutter; it's art.

70 degrees and sunny!  Break out the shorts and sandals, honey.  We're a goin' walkin'!  Here's East Chestnut Street in East Rochester.

A sure sign of spring were all the softball and baseball games taking place as East Rochester School.

There's a pretty interesting neighborhood and the southeastern portion of the village.  It seems the developer was trying to create a modern elf village, which these houses don't appropriately show...  Sorry...

Our first flower at the new house.  Not bad little Daffodil.  When I came home today there were a whole row of these guys ready to pop.  I wonder what else will pop up in our yard?

That's all from Rochester.

APRIL FOOLS!

 photo 100_6034_zps2d398f97.jpg
Seriously, this is the worst April Fools joke ever...

What a weird day for weather.  Half the day sunny and beautiful.  The other half was a blizzard.  In between was whatever this is.

It's a good thing Karen didn't see this guy.  Look at his sad little face.  He wants to eat my sandwich so bad.

"Do de do de do...  Wonder what they are going to do in here next?" About 20 minutes later...

"GOODBYE WALL!"  Who knew making a waiting room for admissions would look so destructively fun?  You never know what will be built or demolished when you walk around Lollypop Farm these days.  Kinda fun

Prince Fielder looks really cozy wearing his snowmobile suit under his uniform during Opening Day up in Minneapolis.  It could be a good year for them.  Just another 161 games to go to see how it ends up.

Went to Sinbad's Restaurant (http://mysinbads.com/) over on Park Ave. this weekend.  Pretty good food.  Probably the quickest food service we've ever received (including fast food places).  It was as if they knew we were coming and what we were going to order.  No pics though, sorry.  No pics of the other fun activities with our friends either.  What a slacker/not allowed.  You poor blog readers have been ripped off...
Hope everyone had a good Easter.

Oh Deer...

Photobucket
Ice skating with Rachel.  She's showing off her best figure skating pose.  

Photobucket
Deer wandering at the way back of the property

Photobucket
Pretty good sized deer.  And just look at how:
a) stubby his legs are
b) deep the snow is

MORE LOST ART FOUND!Who knows how much more of this stuff I have...

Photobucket
Obviously, I did not come up with the "Crazy" Tiger logo of the Detroit Tigers (why are his eyes perfect circles?).  This banner was for some project.  So, think of it as my version of Andy Warhol's Campbell Soup cans or something...

Photobucket
And, as everyone already knows, the holy war begins at home...

Photobucket
This is some kind of project with a bunch of figures from art history.  I don't remember why I made it.

Photobucket
Punk Rock...

Back side of a clipboard.

That's about it from very snowy Rochester.  Got to go shovel some more!

Ty Cobb

Photobucket
He dominated baseball and, apparently, my week.

If you like baseball, history, and crazy antics I suggest reading Cobb by Al Stump

Meet Me In St. Louis

Photobucket
Had a conference in St. Louis, Missouri.  And, of course, you have to visit the Gateway Arch

Photobucket
This is Jimmy McMillan and we shared a flight together.  He ran for governor of New York on behalf of the Rent Is 2 Damn High Party.  If you don't know about him, visit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rent_Is_Too_Damn_High_Party  We had a nice little discussion about his ballot case making its way through the court system.  

Photobucket
Lambert Airport

Photobucket
You know me.  When I visit a city I have to try out their mass transit system.  I have to say, I was very impressed with the MetroLink.  For example, this red line toward Shiloh-Scott.

Photobucket
Very clean, affordable, and efficient

Photobucket
A nice streetcar system.  

Photobucket
The lobby of the Marriott at Union Station where I stayed.  They converted the old train station into a hotel shopping center

Photobucket
Here's the mall

Photobucket
The old superstructure of the roof still covers the entire area

Directly under the arch.  How do you know you are there?  Look for the perfect circle of dirt in a beautifully manicured lawn.

Photobucket
Good times on a steamboat in the Mississippi

More arch

St. Louis has a great and active park running through the hear of the city

I can't be sure, but I believe this pink suit is to glorify Miami Vice...

A remote control bulldozer!  Why did no one tell me this was a career option?
