My neighbors are moving back east

I met Sari Ketter back in my Washington DC days at Arena Stage. It was because of her that I first came to Minneapolis and The Guthrie.

I ended up buying the house directly across the street from Sari and her husband Mather Dolph not knowing they lived there. Sari and Mather have one son, Charlie Dolph, who I have seen grow into a tall, handsome young man who now lives in Ohio.

The Ketter-Dolphs and I have been neighbors for over 20 years. I will miss them very much.

So cute

I fondly remember living in D.C. just up from the National Zoo getting to visit the pandas and other animals any time.

Monster Dash update

Trish and I ended winning the costume contest. I received this table top flag in recognition. Awesome!

Beautiful image of Saturn

This is a compilation of photos by the Cassini spacecraft. I thought it was worth sharing.

Snow and other things falling

We had a first "measurable" snow on Tuesday. Certainly nothing to be scared over. In Uptown the snow was not much more than a coating.

Then on Thursday morning the annual dropping of the ginko tree leaves occurred. As is often the case, the trees in front of my house will drop all there leaves in one big swoosh. While there doesn't appear to be a big 'swoosh' this year, it is still fun to see and watch.

An attempt at digital art

Took pictures of my outdoor fish and put them in a sketch app on my Microsoft surface tablet.
