This was taken on Sunday March 29.  It is in Grant Park after/during a snow storm.  Crissy was running the 8K Shamrock Shuffle and I had a little time wandering around in the cold.

This is the Fountain in Grant Park in Chicago.  It ws taken the day of the St Patrick’s parade in Chicago.

These are some clouds that I took after the big storm in Champaign.  Later in the day we lost power at the university for around 6 hours.

This is a picture of our other dog, Macy.  She really doesn’t like having her picture taking.

This light is in the kitchen.  While playing around trying to get a good picture, I shot the light upward.  I was surprised to find the way the shade around it turned out around the light.  I have seen this type of thing done before (most recently from Ryan).

Just a picture of the sunset from February 23, 2009.

This is my cat Phoenix.  He’s reaching out to try and grab some food.  He’s pretty funny when trying to grab food.  If you look carefully, you can see that he has an extra toe on his foot.

So, I’ve been gone a little longer than I wanted to be.  Here’s a picture of my lamppost.  Right now it is kind of an Eternal Flame.  The light detector failed a while back and now it is always on.  I would just power of the breaker, but I have a beer fridge plugged into the same circuit, so for now it will remain Eternal.

Crissy gave me this gorilla years ago.  It somehow ended up in one of our plants.  Its been there for years now.

This is my dog Oscar.  He is actually very excited to go for a car ride today.  He got to ride to Bloomington where I met my parents and he gets to stay until Tuesday.
