The Death of Playoff Beard

Oh playoff beard.  You were a shooting star that had to leave us too soon...

April showers bring May flowers.  April snow is just miserable...


A beautiful January morning at Lollypop Farm...


Luna watching me make copies


Luna watching Emmy Lou from a distance.  


Emmy Lou and Luna decided they were not friends.  So, Luna will find a new office to call home.  And yes, Luna is what made my desk so messy...


On a happier note: PUPPY!!!!

Merry Tax Day!

Life and Times Along the Irondequoit Bay.  Nothing like a little family hike through Tryon Park


Rachel playing with a stick in the mud.


A beaver is about to block up this portion of the Irondequoit Creek/Bay


Rachel's angelic white hiking outfit was not so bright after the swamp...


My new best friend Daisy.  One of my co-workers brought her in for the day and now she knows that I am good at petting and giving her treats.


I call this: Daisy: Deep In Thought  Really, it should be Daisy: Why Won't This Guy Leave Me Alone?


It's rough getting all this love and attention at Lollypop.  Makes a dog tired...

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...

Why People Are Afraid of Detroit

The Detroit Monster attacking a sweet, innocent child from Rochester...  Her laughter hides her fear...

Look who's up for adoption on April 27th!  


Puppies are the best way to clean your desk on "cleaning day."  


Emmy Lou wasn't so happy about "cleaning day."  

That's all.  Off to start an insurrection...

The 80s Are Over

Ahhh, the first woodchuck of summer!


Took a nice little hike to check out Irondequoit Creek at Linear/Philbrick Park in Penfield


I know the feeling...


Made my first visit to the Rochester Museum & Science Center (RMSC) on a rainy afternoon.  


And, how can you go wrong with a breast cancer awareness bulldozer demonstration?

 
Megan lifting herself, which is really good exercise


They need to make beaver sweatshirts in adult sizes.  And, sell them in the shop.  


What is this exhibit?


Ah yes, a male resident of Rochester in 2006.  If only I could travel back to 2006 and warn this man not to purchase a new home or invest in Lehman Brothers!


MASTODON!






The happiest fossil in all of the museum!




What downtown Rochester use to look like

I had a great time at the museum.  The Extreme Mammals exhibit was pretty cool.  The kids area with all the science experiments was fun.  The history of abolition and slavery in Rochester was really well done and interesting.  Then there was the energy area and the Rochester Business Hall of Fame.  So, lots of stuff to look at:  http://www.rmsc.org/


Petey is getting big

Time for some chili (chil-ee; not the city of chy-ly for local Rochesterians) 

Spring Is the New Summer

Pure joy when it is 70 degrees in mid-March.  Mike's wife can then bring him to Indian Landing School playground.


The wife


HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEE!!!  Notice her puppy shaped flower arrangement


My new favorite corporate logo.  It's for Moonshine BBQ and I can't wait to go here for our 2nd anniversary!


How New Yorkers fix potholes.  


Thank you daylight savings.  Someday, I will run for office and my platform will be solely advocating for daylight savings time to be year round.  And, why not move it ahead two hours?  

Fooooood...

Sadly, Just a Normal Day...

Pic stolen from Karen Stolt, who Emmy Lou and I are staring down at work.


Emmy Lou hanging out in a mail basket


Margie is getting really good at bribes.  Shamrock shake will get you far in this office...


I like these wall decals


Looks like me on the weekend.
