Colorful Disappointment

I try to walk at lunch....especially when it's as amazing outside as it has been this week.

A gentleman caught my eye.
1. He is on rollerblades....is it me or do you just not see those like you used to.
2. He is attempting to follow his friend down a rocky embankment to the creek.
I immediately think....this is going to be good. So I stop and I watch. Sure enough the man goes down and he goes down hard. He is obviously disappointed exhibited clearly by his colorful exclamations. I continued walking and thought.....man didn't see that coming.

Next up....man on Pearl street asking for change. A guy passes by looking as if in the same boat.

Dude, I don't have any change....(pauses, points finger)...but Obama does.

I laughed out loud and walked back to my office.

The more I think about it, the more I realize the funny things I see on my daily walks. I might document them more often.

Coffin Racing

This past weekend I had the rare opportunity to push a coffin for 250 yards with 3 other guys with a dead chick inside....as fast as we could. The whole event was a spectacle. The pictures don't quite capture the whole scene but you get the idea.
This is us actually racing it.
Later that day we went on a little hike through an old quarry. Below is Garden of the Gods in the distance as well as a couple other shots.

Still got it....maybe

My friends often make fun of me for the cornucopia of jobs I have under my belt. This is both based on the straight numbers as well as the diversity of them all.

I was a floral designer at one point.

Yes, me. I mostly delivered but at times I would fill orders. This weekend my Dad got married and somehow I ended up making the boot-in-ear....however you spell that. I must say I was somewhat proud of the end product. Here it is affixed to the groom.


I took a lot of pics throughout the weekend including changing leaves, friends and family. I really like this one. My sis.
