Sleepy... So Very Sleepy...

Feeling like this guy lately.  I think I've been battling a cold that everyone's been getting, which is better than the flu.  Anyway, it seems our house is becoming the house of weird cookie jars.  And yet, we never have cookies...


Bad ass motorcycle gang member made of shells!


SANTASAURUS REX!  Saw this guy on our walk through East Rochester last week. 


It's amazing walking through work these days because doors and hallways just magically appear out of nowhere. This one leads to the new clinic


My coworkers daughter makes all sorts of creative desserts.  Here's a teddy graham fishing swedish fish.  



"I KNOW YOU!  HELP!  I DON'T BELONG IN THIS OFFICE!"  Congrats to Karen on her new job even if Chance seems really confused on top of your desk.

That's it.  Nothing much happening lately and I'll probably rest a lot on the long weekend.  Some football tomorrow.

"Hunter?!? This Is A Party; Not A Safari!!!"

Erin and Megan at the Rochester wedding party.

My co-worker's daughter is heading off to college tomorrow, which may mean my cupcake intake will drop dramatically over the next few months.  I'll be a wreck because I'll be sad and also have low sugar...


After a graduation party at Bernardo's Pizza in Victor, NY.  Someone better have the Ghostbusters on speed dial.


Emmy Lou REALLY needs a home.  It takes her a little bit to get use to you, but she'll be your best friend after that.  It's been a while since she's been on my desk.  I wonder why?

Oh, it's because Rufio took Emmy Lou's corner...


YEAH!  Lollypop Farm Picnic!  Perfect day to be outside having lunch!
That's it for now.  Will be out of town at another wedding this weekend.  So on and so on...

You Get the Idea...

One must always be aware of fuzzy kittens at the office...


And a farm full of cupcakes


Chance apparently likes to dress like a fireman because he doesn't like the rain


I've seen how he puts out fires.


Here's the new $855 million children's hospital I worked on for a couple of years when in Chicago.  With the move, Children's Memorial Hospital has become the Ann & Robert H Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.  This place will probably be the most fun hospital ever built and a tourist destination.  Check it out at: http://luriechildrens.org/

PS-Congrats to the Children's Memorial staff, volunteers, donors, and the countless people that made it possible for such an awesome place to exist.  I'm very proud to say I played a very minor role in something that will help generations of children attain a healthy adulthood.

Uncle Mike and Niece Rachel travel back to the 70s on Easter to get this photo




Playing with Tonka in the bubble.


Why is this so fuzzy?  I guess the camera didn't like the sheep cupcake...

Diary of the Real Prince Charming

Megan and Rachel at Bill Gray's having a fine meal before we head over to Roberts Wesleyan College to see their production of Cinderella.



Rachel with her friend, Squirmy the Wormy.  



Close up of Rachel and Squirmy



Us at the Andrews B. Hale Auditorium.



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



Oh Aunt Meg!



Handsome...



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)!



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



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...



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.

Special shout out to Karen's daughter for the Oreo cupcakes with M&M ladybugs.  THANK YOU!!!

2-for-1 Holiday Special

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.  I think Megan and I broke a new land speed record between Rochester, NY and Muskegon, MI with a drive time under 8 hours.  I'm glad we got to see a lot of people back home and sorry that we didn't get to see everyone.  



DON'T FEED HER AFTER MIDNIGHT!



And, in honor of the new Muppet movie, I say, "meer meer meer meer!"



Seems that x-mas and t-day combined forces this year.  And yes Virginia, that is a Superman snuggie.  It looks even better when I become "Lazy Superman" watching football on the couch.



This is Brother Thou Shalt Not Get Fat.  Of course, it only contains grenola...



The sweetest breed of dog; Cupcake Yorkie.
