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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
