No Explanation necessary...

This was the temp setting in the room when I arrived in Hershey - is this a convention thing?

'Nuff Said!

While doing more preparation for PETE&C we thought it might be a good idea to feed Kim's kids and break for nourishment: Ah, Breakfast Pizza!

The Good Life!

Saki relaxes after only a few minutes of play - Yes, I am jealous...

Warning!

I have been wanting to do this for fifteen years or so... This sign is incomplete and should have the following written under the icon: Use the toilet like the rest of the dogs (much ado concerning lead in the water pipes in many of our schools)

The Chair (Hail To The Boys)



About 15 years ago 'The Boys' gave me this chair as they ended 8th Grade @ Baldi MS. I had them sign it (look closely and you can see all 4 signatures). It has discharged it's duties faithfully, but is now dead. Hail to The Boys...

The making of a collection of stuff

Began to make a collage from all the stuff on and around my desk...more as it grows!

Haven't posted a picture of this before (I don't think). Stained glass house originally filled with live plants purchased at the Central New York Art Open and delivered to Philly by the artist.

Stuff

Some say I have too much stuff that I do not need - what do you think? (No, this isn't the only storage area in my office, I have to admit.)

Just Hangin' Around...

Thinking of a good picture for today and I saw this collection of Name Badges from DEN, PETE&C, etc.

Ice Hole 2011

The Ice Hole 2011 (ladder not yet deployed - the 'assicles' are still in the sauna...)

Ray's Throne

The throne seen here came from the ice cut out of the lake for the night's ice hole gang (know among the alumni as the 'assicles'). As the first piece came out of the lake Ray (pictured on the left) said it was a shame to just toss the ice aside...and you see the result. Janet and Ray (pictured)and Roger and Bruce did most of the work while I took pictures with Ray's camera. Later, I did NOT go into the ice hole for the first time in many years (was not feeling well). Conditions were perfect, btw.

Oxymoron

I found this to be a bit of an oxymoron, seeing ice hanging from the sauna. I will be one of the assicles later tonight running out of there and jumping into the lake before doing it all over again.

A Real (old) Telephone

Got to spend some time inside the caretaker's cabin tonight with a few others and this was in his kitchen: from the original telegraph office @ Camp Pine Knot: a 1905 model...
