Not my favorite design, but this was an experiment of sorts.
Make sure to read Annegb’s post “The Day Bill Fell Down the Stairs And Made My Life Complete.” If I had to make a very quick list of my favorite writers in the ‘Nacle, Annegb would be right at the top.
Steven LaRose’s “Fish or Cut Bait” site brought my attention to this . Update: I have created a gallery page over at SaatchiGallery.com.
My wife and I now have a digital camera. In New York City it would probably be a good idea to take it just about everywhere. A few days ago we went to Central Park to toss around a frisbee. On the way there we found ourselves only feet away from a raccoon sitting on top of a garbage can, cheerfully munching away on something he found inside. A picture perfect moment. No camera. ARGH!
Right now I’m trying to take pictures of some framed artwork, which I’ve posted here. With one glance it’s immediately clear that I’m a complete amateur in the realm of photography. There’s a lot to learn. Still, it’s a lot of fun.
Last night Diane and I went with friends Clark and Bethany Johnson to see a free New York Philharmonic Orchestra Concert at St. John the Divine. The music performed was “La Forza del Destino” by Giuseppe Verdi (or “Joe Green” as I like to call him) and Tchaikovsky’s Symphony #5.
The cathedral of St. John the Divine is currently being restored as it suffered the effects of a devastating fire in December 2001. The restoration of the cathedral is going along very nicely and it was a wonderful setting for listening to classical music. Here is one of the pictures that I took of the inside:
We had a very nice evening. I was once again reminded that I want to start listening to more classical music in my life.
