2012 Miscellany

 

While watching Week 17 NFL football intently, I took the time to organize, cull, rename, and otherwise get my miscellaneous photos, videos, scans and all other media in order for the inevitable archiving that will occur in January.

Some of what I wandered into deserves its place here.  I had more than a few Iphone created movies that I never renamed or uploaded to Shutterfly.  Corrected that today….if you want to watch any of the video, just click the picture below.

Mom fishing…she’s going to bring in a shark!

I looked…I can’t believe that I didn’t blog about this, the Mardi Gras night of music and food that the local restaurant puts on in February.  We went with a group of soccer parents and all had a great time!

Don’t click on those….that’s just the menu and performers!

Just some great music!  That’s Dr. Michael White there on the clarinet; I ended up getting all of his CDs as we left that night…

another video from the night of music….

Musical lighted fountains in Barcelona…..

Curious what a mulit-million dollar musical production looks like on a cruise ship?  The next two videos are from the Motown Show on the Breeze….

Same show, different number.  I think the video screens in the back are the most interesting part of the production……

What’s better than your country beating Portugal in penalty kicks in Euro2012?  Not much….

Swimming Pool at the London Marriott County Hall + Boys Singing Nikki Minaj = well, it’s pretty good….

The dogs know that a breakfast with eggs inevitably means that they will get the leftovers (and we make some extras knowing that they look forward to it).  This dog, if we, um, linger, at the the table, is not shy about letting us know….

The undisputed Alpha-female of our cats, Madison.  You can actually rank them by how Holly interacts with them…Holly doesn’t even pretend to mess with Madison, at times she will chase Marino around and she consistently makes Daphne’s spit and hiss at her.

Madison had to go see the vet to get some medicine for worms….she is the most vocal of our cats and definitely let me know that she was unhappy with the trip and the wait….
