Artistic Fall

One of my favorite parts of going to parent-teacher conferences is getting to see the artwork the kids have been making. I thought Amber captured the Fall season perfectly in this piece.

Killer Hamburgers

Snapped this outside one of my favorite burger joints in town. Makes you want to eat there, doesn't it?

Connecting the Course

My brother is in town to run in the Prairie Fire Marathon tomorrow. He's actually running the half marathon. Tonight we drove the course so he'd be familiar with it during the run in the morning. Toward the end of the course, he'll be running by the Keeper of the Plains.

Spiral Upward

At a sneak peek for "The Social Network". This hangs above the lobby of the movie theater.

Hornet Homecoming

Spotted on the sidewalk near the football stadium before tonight's homecoming football game.

Wine-Dip?

What in the world is this drink? The kids and I went out to eat since it was "Dad's Night To Cook". Mom was at a meeting and we went to a restaurant that has lots of stuff to look at on their walls. We've eaten there several times but I've never seen this on the wall. I've never even heard of such a drink. Kind of looks like a Coke bottle to me. Anyone ever heard of this before?

Shady Lady

I attended a luncheon at The Orpheum for work today. Parking space was at a premium and my co-workers and I ended up parking a couple of blocks away at the Methodist Church. It was pretty hot outside so we walked through the alleys to take advantage of the shade provided by the buildings. I noticed this piece of art spray painted on the wall along our stroll. I didn't mean to take a black & white snap, but I think it adds to the mystery behind the message.

I See The Sun

It's Summer. It's hot. You can't escape the heat of the Sun. Not even above our table inside our favorite restaurant.

Swim Display

A left-over shot from the Vegas trip. Their window displays are amazing. This one is pretty eye catching.

Sports Town

Aztec Art

Guess where we ate tonight? Love that place! Wasn't feeling all that hungry tonight so only ate half and now I have a DEE-LISH meal for lunch tomorrow! Score!

Over Dressed

I worked at a job fair today downtown. On my walk back to my car, I passed this statue and it made me a bit uncomfortable. The heat index was 114º. I'm surprised this guy didn't melt down into a shiny puddle of nothing. It had to be swampy wearing those pants in this heat.

The Vases of El Monterrey

Went out to eat tonight at a Mexican restaurant. These vases were on the ledge next to us. That is all.

Molly Frankenstein

I dropped Amber off at camp this morning and she made a point to introduce me to the friend they created, Molly Frankenstein. Consisting of bread bags, newspaper bags, grocery sacks, rubber gloves and newspapers, she a was pretty friendly creature, even though she was short on good looks.

Tie Dye Tee

Sara finished up Amber's art project from school. I think the design turned out well. Groovy.

Wall Post

Rooster Hat

If a woodchuck could chuck wood...

...he wouldn't be able to do this. We went out to eat tonight, because it's Friday and that's what we do. We enjoyed the mexican cuisine of El Azteca. The entire place is decorated in hand-carved and hand-painted wood decor reflecting the Aztec culture. This was the backrest on the side of the booth that Andrew and Sara sat on. Sara and I may have to go as "a booth from El Azteca" for Halloween. I'm not sure she'll go for it, though.
