Toy cars on a piano. Now that's art.

Flying Machine
February 9, 2008 40/366
SkyGirl--channeling Bono, apparently--and her cousin riding DaVinci's Flying Machines at the Renaissance Fair. Yes, this place can be hokey. And the corollary to my bestselling coffee table book, "Beautiful People Do Not Go to Theme Parks," would be "Less-than-Beautiful People Like to Dress in Corsets and Pantaloons." But, I really like this festival. Maybe it's that the rides are all human powered. Maybe it's the excellent craftsmanship in the costumes, tools, and leather bound journals (which I can't resist buying). Or maybe it's the really good beer.
This year I was most impressed with the joust, which in previous years always looked very staged, but this year, the knights seemed to be actually competing and the speed of the horses was certainly not faked. Even if it was pre-programmed, three knights on galloping horseback, each carrying an 9 foot lance, and spearing a ring tossed in mid air still ranks as an bit of skill.
Echo of Form
February 7, 2008 38/366
This was a tough week. Half of our staff out for two days meaning I pick up the slack. Plus today was SkyGirl's ballet lesson and we had to clean house before guests arrived tomorrow. Thus a late night attempt at artistry. (Imagine the ones that didn't make the cut.)

Skilled Hands
February 6, 2008 37/366
Caught short handed at the clinic, I assisted the Doctor all day. And by assisted, I mean that I generally stayed far away from sharp objects, fur and blood. I am at home in the front room, with the money and the computer and the servile attitude.
Full Fathom Five

Nothing of him that does fade,
But doth suffer a sea-change
Into something rich and strange.
Swimming laps at 6:00am. Halogen lights, the black pre-dawn, and the mist rising from the warm pool into the cold morning air.

Pale Before the Stars
February 2, 2008 33/366
Soulja Boy (and forgive me if I'm spelling that wrong, but who gives a damn) performing at the ESPN the Magazine Super Bowl Party. I was there for the glamor, the glitz and because it was the only party that was free.
An alternate me
January 29, 2008 29/366
My dress clothes ready to go. I had a big presentation the next day, which explains the lame photo at 11:00pm. I was busy preparing the whole day.

These are a couple of paintings I did in college when I was infatuated with Bernard Newman.

Conference chairs at the NVAC in Orlando--awaiting a rapt audience, one presumes.

Genius knows no locale
January 20, 2008 20/366
Late at night, locked in a hotel room in Orlando, typing away at the company blog.
Various notes on this at the Flickr site.
I want to see the bright lights tonight

Another last second shot from the hotel room, looking out to the excitement that competes with the mouse.

1450
January 18, 2008 18/366
Although my camera won't attest to it, this was technically taken before midnight in Arizona. A long day of travel and finally rest in the one-of-a-kind suite 1450 at the Courtyard Marriott.

Pain
January 15, 2006 15/366
Not the most artistic of shots, but it does capture the day. This morning my dentist outfitted me with these invisible braces. No one can see the pain.
Tiny Desk
January 16, 2008 16/366
Another last minute documentary photograph. I'm finding it rather difficult some days to get a good picture. At least with this one, I can add some notes and give a snapshot of working life at this time.

Pride-The Goal
January 14, 2006 14/366
I scored a goal last night--a diving, flick-on header from a corner kick. It hit the upper right corner, just over the keeper. And I'm proud enough to keep talking about it. Even if no one else is.
I'm sure I'll get my second some time in 2009.

& across a quiet face
January 11, 2008 11/366
In the lobby of the clinic, we have magnetic poetry for cats. Or perhaps I should say magnetic cat poetry. Friday afternoons, I work mostly by myself; fielding calls and preparing the cats for the weekend.
SkyGirl at New Year's
January 1, 2008 1/366
Well, I didn't have much option to take a picture on New Year's Day. This is the best of the two I took at Nello's Pizza. The photo was taken with the work camera, and it's taken over a week to get it uploaded. That's why it's out of sequence.

Wrath -- Manning the Barricades
January 10, 2008 10/366
SkyGirl said these guys were eating at the table, but it looked like they were ready for the stormtroopers. Riot shields and batons at the ready.

Breakfast
January 8, 2008 8/366
My normal smoothie after running, biking or swimming. Today, I biked just about 30 minutes because it was cold and started late after writing. This was banana, mango, pineapple, strawberries, raspberries, papaya, and orange juice. If there's one unquestioned benefit of civilization, it would be frozen fruit.

Let a girl rain all over you
Rain in the desert is still a lot of fun. SkyGirl and I splashed around a bit after running some errands. This was nothing like a monsoon storm, but it was a good steady rain for the whole morning. Any weather that isn't bright sunshine is worth celebrating.
Shoes 6/366 January 6, 2008
Soccer equipment post-game. We won, 1-0. First game of the season in Division II.

Palm Tree 5/366
SkyGirl and I made palm trees out of the fall leaves. Fall comes much later here. It was her idea. She's decided that all the trees in our backyard constitute a second house. We have the kitchen tree, the two bedroom trees, the playroom tree and the living room tree. This palm tree was under the playroom tree. January 5th, 2008

Gluttony 4/366
One of the challenges for this month is the seven deadly sins.
The doctor and I splurged tonight after a frustrating afternoon at the clinic. I couldn't get something to work with the network, and we both dealt with lost litter scoopers and mislabeled medications. Our bank is right next door to Zipps, and sometimes the smell is irresistible.

I like her better when she walks away 3/366
SkyGirl and I went to see the exhibit on Animation, but she didn't like it at all. She found the cartoons scary, and the art unsettling. Granted, it wasn't geared toward the Hanna Barbara set.
So, we went outside and took a lot of pictures on the campus of the Mesa Center for the Arts--one of her favorite places to run around.
