Getting The Hang Of It

Taken photos while driving that is.  These turned out much better.

This was a train full of fans for the wind farms.  Crazy how large they are when you get some perspective:

This shot encapsulates cross country drives for me:

Tornadoes, Wind Farms And Lots Of Road. Oh My!

Driving from Texas to Washington is relatively pretty.  We got to see a tornado:

All taken while driving a 29’ diesel down the road.  Aren’t you happy I was given a license?

Family Time

After a slight mishap on my flight (Newark instead of LaGuardia).  I got down to Texas to help my mom move.

I got to spend a lot of time with family which was nice.  It is amazing seeing all of them and how much they have grown.

A little chicken dancing:

Getting Some Culture

Or at least trying to at the MoMa.  I really wanted to go to see a James Ensor exhibit and I am glad I did.  Others were not as impressed but his use of light was pretty amazing.  However no photos of his stuff.

Some scribbles:

A clock that projected on the wall (like the ones you can get at Brookstone):

Friendly Photos

Spent most of the day just hanging out and catching up which was a great way to do it before our fancy pants dinner.

We started out in Central Park.  Eric did not get much above prone as he was possibly the most hungover I have ever seen another person:

Some of us also wandered around and caught some rollerskating:

And some handstanding:

Down a whole lot o’ stairs:

That was set to turn into some interesting performance until the pregnant bridesmaid stepped in:

With all these people watching:

Which eventually led to the cops coming in:

That night we got ready for fancy pants dinner and I managed to catch everyone before we headed out.

My favorites where the candid shots:

So loving the Nyquil:

Puffy

The clouds look great.  I wish the sky was a little more red in the lower part:
