Spring has Sprung

Sprung
Spring has happened again! In my favorite corner of the world winter seems to last forever. Then, when you are sure it will not end, fruit trees turn to flower and you remember why you lived through winter's bleak second half.

I had to take some time at lunch and just sit under the canopy. It could not be helped.

Humidity as Fog

This one goes out to the AZ crowd...
Clear
On a clear (AZ Style) day you can see across the parking lot. There is a street light, telephone pole and a building on a hill. When the morning fog has not "burned off," though...
Fog
There is too much water in the air!

Yule Tide receeding, Back to Work

smTree
The holiday is over and it was back to work for me. I was glad to have the generous time off over the holidays. We put up a tree for the first time in years. It really "felt" like a holiday should feel with the snow, cold, lights and trees. I really missed trees. I have to regain control of the camera from my wife, then I can post the holiday nuggets!

BTW got my iLife '08 upgrade and I really like it. My iPhoto is much faster. Still wish they would do multiple Library support or nested albums. I need my albums for integration to the web publisher, but I don't need to see them every time.

Catch and Release

The only thing finer than spotting a supercar on the highway...
Catch
is putting it in your mirrors!
Release

Unless of course it is snapping the pictures for Charlie, that is fine, too!

Charlie, have Pip send me a message. I got tons of pictures. He can creatively caption them and get some posting on that bLog!

That thing got a Hemi?

We caught John Reap and 4 finalists from Last Comic Standing last night. It was good to get out and have some adult fun. We went to the "fancy" Italian place for dinner. We listened to a few hours of comedy. Finished off at the late night bar and wrapped it up. Not bad for a work night!

In case you were counting (Charlie) it was:

1 bottle of Chianti
5 glasses House Red
3 Amstel Lights
2 Franziskaner

for 2 drinkers.

No driving required!

The Mythic

Castle

Perhaps more often in October, but Tarrytown has it's fantastic side. That is a castle on the hill. This view is from the Tappan Zee bridge on a sunny rush hour. Lyndhurst is down below closer to the Hudson

Our high school is Sleepy Hollow and their mascot is the Horseman.

I have often lived in places where Halloween is "bigger than Christmas" and feel very comfortable here.
