Happy Pretty Smile
|
|
While waiting at Rosa Parks Circle park stage for my kids' dance troupe to take the stage, I found a grassy knoll under some trees. Refuge from the sun, it was also a good spot to people watch.
This young woman was chatting so happily with a little girl with whom she was sharing popcorn, I found myself smiling as I watched the two of them interact.

Neon Signs Around Town
|
|
You might think that I have posted these images in the past, but that would be inaccurate. I have posted images of the OTHER sides of these signs in the past.
Now you have seen both sides, and you can mark that off your to-do list.

Shafts of sunlight burn from the eastern horizon, creating angled square tubes of illuminated dust motes.

Not Quite Done
|
|
Olivia quit her league soccer, and we were disappointed. It's a long story, but she defends it well, so we respected her decision. From our perspective, which she can't appreciate, she has an outstanding talent. We also spent a lot of money and considerable time to support her. At least some of her equipment isn't going to waste; she decided that school team soccer was still okay.
And she played in her good old aggressive manner, as a forward on both the left and right sides, scoring from both up close and far out ("if you don't shoot, you can't score"), giving numerous assists to her less experienced teammates, taking the trash talk in stride, and most of all, really feeling good at the end of the game.
Plus, she's strong and beautiful, and I love that.

Weinermobile! (not my foto)
|
|
A co-worker shared this shot of a scene he caught on the road the other day. It sparked a series of one-liners that I thought should be shared here.
Dave: Brian took this photo while driving down the highway the other day. Frankly, (pun intended) it makes me hungry!
Me: He's lucky he was able to ketchup to it! What a job that would be, driving the weinermobile. Interesting for a day or two, but I wouldn't relish it. Bumper sticker idea for the Oscar Mayer hot dog vehicle: Let's Not Meat By Accident. Oh, please - stop! My sides! Hahahaha!
Dave: Ha!! OMG, I tried to think of a couple more, but DOG... you MUSTARD it! HA-ha-ha! Ok, that one was a s-t-r-e-t-c-h. In any CASE, hope you all have a great weekend!
Me: Pretty funny, Dave. But I don't want this to turn into an ugly pun-off. I have no beef with you.
Brian: Some of the puns you guys have braut forth are the wurst. Now let's get back to work before the boss grills us.
Dave: Yeah, it is getting a bit cheesy, but each have not been onion-riginal in the slightest.

The front tire / wheel fits inside that fender just perfectly after my suspension modifications.

Stabile Riders
|
|
Yesterday I took part in the first annual Mayor's Bike Ride here in downtown Grand Rapids.
http://events.grnow.com/events/index.php?com=detail&eID=103943&month=05&year=2009
In the background is a sculpture, a "stabile," by artist Alexander Calder.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Calder
Our Calder, as it is commonly known here in town, is formally known as "La Grande Vitesse," and is positioned in Calder Plaza in the heart of the city.
