Carl Catches a Falling Knife

2013-02-05T03:19:06Z

You never know when you will run into a fun picture. I am couple of minutes late to our men's group meeting, and Carl is already displaying his leg with the cut and the 7 stitches he got in the ER this weekend. Nothing really exciting but a falling and very sharp cooking knife. Way to go Carl, but at least it didn't interfere with your ability to snowboard!!!!!!!

Do Cashier's Checks of Large Sums of $$ Make You Nervous?

2013-01-23T23:52:26Z

The closing is tomorrow. I have to get all the $$ for the house downpayment together to the mortgage company. Since I am not selling my present house first, the money is coming from several places. I sold some stocks and so I just came from faxing the wiring instructions to the stock brokerage. Really, that was pretty easy. Zup, Zup, Zup, the $$ will be there in the morning. HOWEVER, some of the money is coming from a bank, and they are refusing to wire the $$. They are cheap. They are insisting I take a cashier's check. A five figure with lots of Zeros in it, check. A check if lost or stolen will not be replaced by American Express, but will make someone VERY HAPPY!! So where are the armed guards to accompany me to my car? And I have to make a couple of stops on the way home......Put the 5 figure cashier's check with lots of Zeros in my wallet? NO WAY! -- What if I get held up? --Same for putting it in my pocket. Leave it in the car? What if it gets stolen? OMG, this is just too much. Lucky for me, my car has a peeling awful looking bumper. No one would ever suspect there is a 5 figure with lots of Zeros cashiers check just hanging out under 3 newspapers, some plastic bags, today's lunch and god knows what else. I can't go too overboard, because I have been known to put something in a great hiding place, and have it take days and days to remember exactly where I put it. Ok. So i got home. I decided to leave the check out in plain sight. Hopefully the armed guards will arrive any minute.......

Get Readdy for Campnicking!!!!!

2013-01-23T02:49:54Z

So I'm already making plans. I get the keys to the new house on Thursday. Sam and I are going out to dinner to celebrate our anniversary and then continue by staying over at the new house. Since there won't be any movers or furniture yet, I am not quite into sleeping on the floor. What's the next best thing? A Coleman air mattress !!! with an electric pump-it-up. It'll be like going camping. And since we both have to go to work on Friday, what about breakfast? Go out? Make something there in the kitchen? Why it'll be like a picnic of sorts. I know it'll be campnicking-- part camping, part picnic. Boy, this new house is gonna be somethin' else!!! It's a good thing I got my sanity back...............

My Aunt Rhoda

2013-01-20T11:22:36Z

I haven't seen her in a number of years. Alzheimer's took the best of her in the end. But, I will always remember her smiling face, her wonderful brisket at Passover, and yes, her loud voice calling out for my father, "Bernie......" She is my last Aunt. Her funeral is today. She and my father and Uncle Paul lived through a horrible childhood dealing with the death of their mother (rumored in childbirth), abandonment, family breakup, poverty during the depression, illness, and discrimination. They are beyond all of that now. Shown here is a picture of my father, and his sister Rhoda taken sometime in their earlier days. God be with them all.............

If you have followed my photos at all, you know I am a sucker for a sunset. There have been all kinds, and of course tonight was no exception -- being caught in the car without my camera. So out comes the iphone at the corner, out the car window, luckily with no cars behind me. The days in Denver can get warm when the sun is out, (except for the below zero weather earlier in the week) but when that sun goes down, so does the temp. It has gotten me thinking there is only 6 weeks til March, and the days get longer each day.......

Pizza # 12

2013-01-20T11:53:16Z

I have really missed this photoblog. I have continued to take pics when I can, but I have just been beyond overwhelmed in the last month or so. But, as I crawl back to the land of the living, the pictures call out to me :) And where to get solace, but at the Wazee, home of the pizza series. Tonight, Sam and I got the sundried tomato, feta cheese and canadian bacon. The first two toppings overpowered the canadian b, so no more for that selection. But, it was still quite good.......
