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.

warming up

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!

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...

Meer Meer Me Meer... MEEER!

Photobucket
Finally...  Something to wear around the apartment...  For those of you who want to know why I am married to Megan; this is your answer.  For those of you who want to know why Megan married me; get in line...


Photobucket
Oh no!  Now she's getting into line...


Short and sweet this week.  Had a three days off of work and now have about six days worth of work to catch up on...  So it goes...  Xmas was good.  Got spoiled rotten.  Plenty of sweaters.  A snowbrush came just in the nick of time.  Played lots of Wii.  Now reading Adam Smith's Weath of Nations.  Hope everyone had a great holiday and see you after new years!

Geez Louise! Ewoks Must Live Here!

Photobucket
Megan and I went to the Mushroom House for a holiday party thrown by The Children's Agenda.  Stolen pic from wikipedia.  More on the house at:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mushroom_House

Photobucket
Another stolen pic.  But, the house is for sale for only $799,900.  Price reduced $300,100 since October.  


Photobucket
What it looked like in the dark when I rolled up after work...


Photobucket
The mosaic fireplace


Photobucket
Now that's a bathroom


Photobucket
The hallway connecting the "pods."  So, if you needed to have something repaired, who would you call; a hobbit?


Photobucket
Tree support


Photobucket


Photobucket
Here's a bedroom.  Now, this house has to come with the furniture because you would never be able to buy furniture for this place because there are no 90 degree angles and the furniture could never fit into another house that isn't a mushroom.


Photobucket
Fountain in the livingroom


Photobucket
Back to the fireplace


Photobucket
This is in the "lounge pod."  This is a giant cherry wood sculpture thing.


Photobucket
The Hobbit entrance.  It was a crazy house.  I left having way more questions than I had going into it.  Questions about plumbing, heating, and other maintenance.  


Photobucket
Thanks to Julie, I have some new paperwork for my projects...


Photobucket
This is Louise.  She looks freaked out because she is freaked out.  You would be too if you sat on a desk that has a nerf missile launcher on it.


Photobucket
Cat playing with the mouse


Photobucket
Cat in the box


Photobucket
I think she's trying to escape by using FedEX


Photobucket
After a long day, it's time to crash on my paperwork.  


Photobucket
That's it until xmas.  So, hope everyone has a good one.

Good Ship Lollypop (NOW WITH A MISSILE LAUNCHER!)

Photobucket
Cats love christmas too!  


Photobucket
We had a big fundraiser last week and Lollypop Farm grossed $37,000!  YEAH!  Sounds like a lot until I found out that the care of the animals from one of our cruelty cases has run up a tab of about $86,000.  It amazes me the things we can do though!


Photobucket
This inkind donation from Perkins.  It is wonderful chauffeuring a platter of browies, cookies, brownies and other goodies that take up my entire backseat in the morning.  


Photobucket
So...  It begins...


Photobucket
Rachel and Erin boxing each other on the Kinect


Photobucket
The best part of watching these two box is they keep getting closer to the TV as if they are going to start boxing the characters on the screen.


Photobucket
Lollypop Farm Holiday Party at the Green Lantern (restaurant; not the superhero) in the village of Fairport.  A good time was had by all and, as this pic shows, lots of hats that move and play music.


Photobucket
Look at what I got at the White Elephant Gift Exchange!  It's a missile launcher for my desk.  It has a full range of motion, has desktop controls for my computer, and another way for me to threaten my volunteers to do more data entry just in time for the giving season!

The Tale of Mark Klaus

Photobucket
Santa with Spaz the Iguana.  There's something special about having this happen in the office right next to me


Photobucket
This is Petey in the office on the other side of me.  


Photobucket
PETEY!  KEEP BATCHING GIFTS!  WHAT ABOUT THE AUDIT!


Photobucket
Look who got adopted today!  A 3 month old Pug/Jack Russell Terrier 


Photobucket
Tailgating at Conklin's Bar and Grill before the Bills/Titans game this past weekend, which is the best part of the game when they are losing...


Photobucket
Look at all of them empty seats...  Talking about teams that self-destruct, it's nice to see the Detroit Lions are going to personal foul their way out of a wild card playoff spot.  It's a new twist on an old disappointment.


That's all from Rochester.

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.  


Photobucket
DON'T FEED HER AFTER MIDNIGHT!


Photobucket
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...


Photobucket
The sweetest breed of dog; Cupcake Yorkie.
