Year’s End
by Ted Kooser Now the seasons are closing their fileson each of us, the heavy drawersfull of certificates rolling backinto the tree trunks, a few old papersflocking away. Someone we lovedhas fallen from our thoughts,making a little, glittering splashlike a bicycle pushed by a breeze.Otherwise, not much has happened;we fell in love again, findingthat one red feather on the wind….
Apple Pie and Fancy Gadgetry
Liz decided to try her hand at apple pie tonight, and made use of a few gifts that she’s gotten during the process. I took some video of the apple-peeler and the whipped cream maker in action. Does this look familiar? If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.
Updates!
It’s been a lot of travelling and time away from the computer the past two weeks. Sorry it’s been a little spotty around here, but most all of my holiday photos should now be up and posted. Try starting here if you haven’t seen any of them yet.
Lazy Days (continued)
Lazy Days
Bright Lights, Small City
On leaving for Chicago, I stopped to take a few pictures of this area that always caught my eye, on the way out of Frankfort. Liz was kind enough to indulge me while I walked around in the cold, snapping away.
Christmas in Frankfort
Today I packed up all my stuff and switched homes; leaving Indianapolis, I made my way over to Frankfort to hang out with Liz’s family for a day or two. Didn’t take too many photos (I still feel a little shy about photographing people, especially since many may not yet know that I keep a blog and all). Here’s one…
Ritual
Jasmine, Early Christmas
Jasmine, Stacey and Shane are heading to see Shane’s family tomorrow, so we decided to have Jasmine open some of her presents a little early this year. Fun time, hanging out and just watching her reaction to each gift. Jasmine, who apparently doesn’t need to learn how to unwrap gifts. This Elmo bean bag game was a HUGE winner. Shane…
Jasmine, Indy
Back home with the fam
Back in Indy, hanging out with my family.
Q101/Loop Xmas Party
Liz and I attended the Q101/Loop holiday party this year. With the busy week that it’s been, I haven’t been in much of a documenting mode, and took only a few photos here and there. We were at the W Hotel again this year, and it’s still a swanky as it was. These guys were fantastic. Waited a year for…
Behold the Walkenator 4000
Some of my coworkers have recently started to piece together their own personal robot: the Walkenator 4000. They seem to have a very selective memory, and I’m the only one who remembers how the Walkenator 3000 went on that horrible, horrible rampage last time. But oh well. They keep telling me it’ll be different this time around. “Don’t worry, it’s…
Woot Monkey: Fun and Disturbing
After grabbing a few items from woot.com, Chris decided to purchase this little guy: a Woot Monkey. Apparently, the thing launches in the same way that you would launch a slingshot, and emits a somewhat unsettling screeching sound. Kinda like it’s dying.
