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!"


Photobucket
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.


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

The sweetest breed of dog; Cupcake Yorkie.

Play around with the pages and all and tell me what you think.  Thanks!

A Week In the Life of a Lollypop Farm Employee

Photobucket
I believe this sign should be made available to all employees having a rough day.  Perhaps in t-shirt form for those without an office.  


Photobucket
My getting to work wheels and my at work wheels.  Compare and contrast.  


Photobucket
THE BRICKS ARE IN!  YEAH!!!!  Thanks to Zaretsky and Associates landscaping for the installation.  Thanks to my team for all the work they've put into it.  Most of all, to all our donors for participating!!!


Photobucket
So many good bricks.  They look better now that they've been swept and it has rained


Photobucket
Lots of new birds at Lollypop Farm after a surrender.  These guys captivate my attention every time I walk by.  


Photobucket
Thanks to Dee for my new desk ornament.  It's Squash Beetlejuice!  Michael Keaton has never looked so good.


Photobucket
Thanks to Karen for my new creepy Puss In Boots clock.


Photobucket
OH MAN!  The set is going up for getting your Holiday Pet Photos.  At the very least, you should check out the pics of Santa with the animals.  But, it would be even better to sign up and have a picture taken with you furry friend at:

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

"W... Hat... What? Oh, What! Are You Serious Right Now?

Photobucket
Meet Dave Jr.  Not Really...  Again...  This is Rocky!  The newest addition to the family from Lollypop Farm and Stella's newest roommate.  


Photobucket
Here's Rachel and Rocky.  Why Rachel is traveling at the speed of light is unknown...


Photobucket
Fishing for salmon at Linear Park in Penfield.  Looks like a beer commercial...


Photobucket
The world's littlest hamster.  He's only 7 days old...


Photobucket
RABBITS ON THE LOOSE!  


Photobucket
How can anyone have a bad day at work when the last thing they see is a dozen rabbits bouncing around?  They don't...


Time for some pizza and Biggest Loser.  Two things that go together beautifully...

Cat On a Hot Tin Ceiling

Photobucket
CAT ESCAPES INTO THE CEILING!  


Photobucket
Poor thing.  I had to stay late after work to help set a trap to catch her.  


Photobucket
Certainly not afraid of heights


Photobucket
Tailgating at Conklin's Bar and Grill/Illegal Motion before the Buffalo Bill's game.  


Photobucket
Panorama of Ralph Wilson Stadium 


Photobucket
THAT'S A LOT OF WHITE PEOPLE!  It was a "whiteout" for the Jets game.  The only white shirts I have are a dress shirt and a tshirt with a cartoon Bavarian pickle yodeling.  It seems that was the case with many people.  Probably would have been more successful if they would have gone with red or blue...


Photobucket
We've been looking for houses with a nice porch.  I never thought to look for a car with one...


Photobucket
How depressing is it that it is this dark when I leave work now?  How about this for a hot button election day issue: Daylight Savings Time 365 days a year? 


That's it.

Things On Other People's Walls

Photobucket
Found this fella outside my door this morning.  


Photobucket
Poster from the Barktober Fest Poster Contest.  I don't know if I like "Make me your pet" or "Love me" more.  Perhaps we should have a vote...


Photobucket
A gem found in the basement of another open house.  I think Santa and the doll may have had a little egg nog...


Photobucket
Saved the best for last.  Who doesn't love a monkey in the toilet?  That is a funny job.  Whoever lives in this house would probably be my best friend if I ever met them...


That was quick and easy.  I guess no Rachel or Gertie means no photos.  This is what moving to Rochester has done to me.  At least I have toilet monkey...

Salmon or Sal Bass? He just substituted one fish for another!

Photobucket
Looking for Salmon in the Irondequoit Creek at Corbett's Glen in Brighton


Photobucket
Here's Rachel in her impromptu straightjacket.  


Photobucket
Tops Grocery isn't know for their exotic food.  Kiwano Melon?  It tastes like cucumber, banana and lime?  Jelly texture?  


Photobucket
Finally got to see the salmon spawning.  It was really awesome.  Giant fish swimming upstream and jumping up the waterfalls.  It was just like those nature shows except for the grizzly bears trying to catch them.  That's Rich in one of the many "Hudson River School" photos I've taken since moving to Rochester.


Photobucket
Somewhere in there is a giant salmon...


Photobucket
And, a salmon is about to jump or already jumped.  What lame photos for such a cool event...


Photobucket
Rachel with a couple of boys trying to see how close they can get to the salmon


Photobucket
Megan!


Photobucket
Me...


Photobucket
Three Bells.  The littlest one's hip hip name is Lil' Arby


Photobucket
WhatchaGotCookin? Eats! on the Erie Canal in Fairport.  We had a donor event there last Saturday that was a lot of fun with lots of great food.  Megan and I walked by last summer (on our epic walk from Pittsford-Fairport and back) and thought it would be good.  We were right


Photobucket
Setting up on what turned out to be a perfect day


Photobucket

Photobucket
Donors!


Photobucket
Yesterday was an epic "Cleaning Day."  So, we cleaned everything and rearranged the whole office.  Now, I can see everyone instead of starring at the wall.  It really has changed my worldview


Photobucket
Gertie with my new desk ornament I found in the cabinet I cleaned out.  


That's about it.

Wii Love Birthdays!

Photobucket
THANKS TO MY WIFE it is 1988 again and I have the original Nintendo!  So, when she had to go to Ithaca for a conference that weekend, I had to perfect Mario Kart, Goldeneye, Sports, and MLB2011.  Megan must either really love me or really hate herself because she knows I get addicted to beating these games.


Photobucket
Then again, maybe it's her Mario Kart addiction I should be worried about...


Photobucket
Birthday dinner at Dinosaur BBQ!  THANKS TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY FOR EVERYTHING!  YOU ARE AWESOME AND I'M LUCKY TO KNOW YOU!


Photobucket
Sarah (Lee) the cat.  You should adopt her because she's super easygoing


Photobucket


Photobucket
Petey's first bath.  You could hear him wimper a mile away.

Our friend Amanda volunteers with Junior League and they had their holiday sale at the Dome Arena in Henrietta.  I've never been to this place, but I want to know a lot more about it. There has to be a wikipedia page about it or something.  Maybe we should live here instead of getting some suburban single family home...


Photobucket
Not only was there a holiday sale, but an RV show!  Ok, if the owners of the Dome Arena won't sell to us, we'll get an RV instead.  


That's about it.  I'm hungry.
