No bloggy long time

Was watching a show called "How It's Made" on Discovery last night just
before bedtime. Lucy had me write down the steps in making a piano.
Seems she has some big plans.
She later said my scribbles (I had to write fast, a piano is a large, complicated apparatus)were fancy writing that she could not understand.

Time for a little Hip

This is worth watching for the very last camera shot.
This is the Hip live with Gord Downie ad libbing between verses.

Latest from Lucy

We went to see Peter Pan last Saturday at the Palace Theatre. It was a local production done very well.
Lucy was very excited and after the show met all the characters and got their autographs.
When we got home she made a book of the autographs with pictures of the characters below.
She is fearless when it comes to spelling, which is a good thing. It doesn't interfere with her train of thought.

Oral History

It is important for young folk to talk to and listen to old folk so they can learn how the world works.

A bad joke

We are a good team when it comes to poor performance. I first heard this joke, nigh unto 40 year ago.

Movie #10

The last movie in our 10 movies in one day project. If you listen closely, especially towards the end when I cranked up the volume, you can hear the little angel snoring.

Movie #9

This one is a little long. It is a reading of "Joey Runs Away" a book Lucy brought home from the school library.

Movie #8

Note to self: Don't let Lucy have the camera unsupervised.
This was the unplanned movie number 8 in our 10 movies in one day project.
Some viewer discretion is advised. But, if you have kids, this is just normal life.

Movie #7

It was getting late and this is the seventh movie in our 10 movies in one day project. Lucy is eating dinner.

Movie #6

The sixth movie in our 10 movies in one day project. Lucy wanted to be a turtle that dances. She talked about it all day. finally, we did it.

Movie #5

This is the 5th movie in our 10 movies in one day project. Lucy is baffled by the fact that I bought some disks for the computer that didn't work. I never took them back to the store and she asks me about them everytime she sees them. Which is everyday. I have to throw them out.

Movie #4

The fourth movie in our ten movies in one day project. Lucy and I went to Lincoln Park to do a little sledding. Watch for the trip down the hill where she bangs her head on some debris. She laughs and laughs each time she sees this.

Movie #3

This is the third movie in our 10 movies in one day project. Lucy made me leave the room while she was filming this. She calls it the dumbhead dance. She is six and thinks that name is hilarious.

Movie #2

This is the second movie in our 10 movies in one day project.
Lucy said she had a joke to tell. When it didn't pan out the way she thought it would, she tried to distract me by pointing at the cat.

10 movies in 1 day

this is the first of our 10 movies in 1 day project movies.
We started with Lucy waking up.
We decided on Friday night that this was what we were going to do. She must have forgotten. She wasn't too happy.

10 movies in 1 day

Lucy and I completed our 10 movies in 1 day project. We will start posting them soon.

Syracuse (Actually Liverpool) Snow

These pictures in front of my brother's house are pretty impressive until you realize that he is only 3 feet tall and his two-story house tops out at just over 10 feet. He lives on a cul de sac in Liverpool with seven other "small" families. They refer to themselves as Liverputions.

Kind of proud of this one

Click here to link to a video I did for work. A reporter shot the footage, I did the editing.

snow scenes

We ended up with just under a foot of snow. It is all cleared up. Her is a movie I shot downtown



Here are some pictures of snow.

My entire family from Evergreen, Colorado to Plattsburgh, New York were visited by the same storm.
Here is a photo from my sister's backyard in Colorado:



And here is a photo from the backyard of some friends in Marion. Caden is King of the Mountain!
