I hope something moves into this space someday. Something good. But only on the condition that the exterior gets cleaned up and is otherwise left just the way it is.

Winter walking.

Then This Happened: Part 756

2012-01-27T23:49:00.000-08:00

There are days, sometimes nights, when all I want to do is run head-on into a brick wall.

Tonight was one of them.

This old tiled floor has seen better days but that's what I like about it.

Then This Happened: Part 753

2012-01-24T23:12:00.000-08:00

We haven't been seeing too many clear skies lately so yesterday's weather was a relief. It was pretty nice to step outside for a walk and be able to point my camera where I wanted to.

2012-01-15T20:45:00.001-08:00

Sunsets are enormously underrated. For reals. I know I'm guilty of sometimes taking them for granted but I try (and I'm going to try even harder) to pay them more attention. What's not to love, right?

This is from just the other night. I'll remember this one for a long time because I got to see it with some of my family and have that collective "whoa" moment. It was really great.

Let's do Christmas again. Say, now. Who really wants to wait another twelve months anyway?

Then This Happened: Part 725

2011-12-27T20:45:00.000-08:00

Pretty straightforward.

Then This Happened: Part 724

Twenty-seven and I still can't stand leaving home. Ugh.

Then This Happened: Part 723

2011-12-25T21:56:00.001-08:00

I just have to reiterate that the house looked pretty fantastic last night. Another wonderful Christmas in the books.

This is a little loud for my taste but maybe that has something to do with the fact that it's a near-constant wintry gray outside.

I never in a million years thought I would really miss Kansas City but I sometimes do. It's a gem of the Midwest to be sure.

Nightfall in New Mexico.

My holiday trip home was way too short. Thank goodness Christmas is right around the corner. That also means that the end of the year is near. Where did 2011 go?

Happy Thanksgiving!

2011-11-24T17:43:00.000-08:00

Oban, Maker's Mark, a bird, and a pie. Happy Thanksgiving! Wish you were here?

Morning cappuccino by Mom. She mentioned something about the cup being too big and too deep but I didn't care. It was warm, tasty, and it woke me up. I love being home.

Another great one.

I'm growing to appreciate a good morning and all of its subtleties. The peace and quiet and all that early daylight. They're hard to beat.

This coming from a guy who's traditionally the biggest of night owls and has pulled more all nighters than he cares to admit. Productivity always came to me long after the sun went down but mornings are starting to win me over bit by bit.

Then This Happened: Part 675

2011-11-07T23:34:00.000-08:00

Pretty quiet out on the water.

Nike Portland has a really great photograph of Bill Bowerman displayed across six touchscreen panels. The image of Bowerman fades in and out of a large mosaic of athlete and Nike brand photos and videos, all of which can be expanded or played with the touch of a finger. Pretty easy to spend a good half hour engrossed in the thing. It's pretty outstanding.
