Bubble Trouble

finishing out the end of this year 2013 playing with oil , water and colors. have a wonderful New Year's . 

Bowl Season

reading the sports section today they have two whole pages dedicated to the college bowl games.  there are 8 bowls named after locations , Texas has 3 , Dallas , Texas and Alamo .there is also the  New Mexico , Las Vegas , New Orleans ,Hawaii and the Idaho Potato .  It’s a stretch but there is also the Buffalo Wild Wings bowl.

there is the Pinstripe Bowl but I don’t know of any football teams that wear pinstripes. There is the Armed Forces and Military bowl. It’s hard for me to believe that they could lose any game if they took it seriously.

food seems to be popular with bowl names. The Little Caesars , Chick-fil-A , Beef ‘ O ‘ Brady’s , Sugar , Orange and the fight Hunger bowl . hmmm, that seems like a good cause .

the Poinsettia , Belk ( Whatever the hell that is ) , Russell Athletic , Music City , Holiday , AdvoCare V100 , Sun , Liberty , Capitol One , Outback , Fiesta , Compass and Go-daddy Bowl.

and of course there are still the ones I remember when I was a kid , The Rose , Cotton , Gator along with the above mentioned Sugar and Orange bowl . 

This was how it use to be , back when I was actually excited about college football . before I realized there were even 70 colleges in the country , which is how many teams are playing in bowl games this season.

growing up it was Texas , Notra Dame , Alabama , Oklahoma , Nebraska , Ohio State , Michigan , USC , Syracuse and RPI ( now RPI never actually went to a bowl game but to me when I was little they were as big as any of the other teams.)  . now it's everything but the toilet bowl. where most of these teams today belong.

O , by the way , there is also the BCS Championship Game . All in all , I probably won't watch a single one of them . I long for the days when life was simpler. 

Ho Ho Ho

Happy Holidays

Actually one of these photos is from Cape Cod , can you quess which one ? ;O)

Toys for Tots

As of 2009 the Toys for tots program and foundation have collected and distributed almost 500 million toys to children that other wise would receive nothing for Christmas.In 2009 Michele Obama placed the first Toys for Tots collection bin in the White House.

There is no other way to feel better then to be a recipient of a smile from a child that received a gift never expected.

Congress Hall , Cape May , NJ

here are a few of the photos I took at the Congress Hall Hotel in Cape May NJ. there are plenty more from here but it's time for rest .

Back to basics

this is one of the photos I took out on my usual 6 mile walk today , which hasn't been all that usual lately , I noticed everything that was wrong with it as soon as I popped it up. but I learned a lot from it , like it's time to get back to what I used to do. 5 , 10 , 15 minutes exposures . It was always time and motion that excited me and some how I got away from that.

It's time to get back to basics .

If for no other reason

While I may be Irish Catholic I don't think God really cares what house one visits.

A few more

DUMBO

Spent the day with some my favorite people on the whole wide planet . Rita , Holli and Lee .

Now I don't know if Rita is too fast or if I'm too slow but my photos of her never seem to come out focused.here is one with her and her festive colors along with that wonderful hat ;O) . The last photo is of Holli always a willing and patience subject. As for Lee , she may be the most photogenic person I have ever met but it isn't easy getting Lee to sit long enough for a photo.

Hopefully I will have more photos to upload in a few days . 

 

It'd been a long 2 weeks

A little fun before I get back to the mines. Tomorrow it's clean the house , the laundry , car and everything else that's been on the back burner.
