October 21, 295/366 (1756/1827)- I promised my daughter I would make her a cradle for our soon-to-be-here granddaughter; finally got some time in the shop this weekend to get started. I'm guessing time-wise I am maybe half done. I still have 6 weeks if she comes on her due date, plenty of time!
All solid 5/4 red oak, forgot how much fun it is to work with oak, and how hard it is!
It was about 9:30 tonight and I realized I needed to take a photo for my 366 project and I hadn't really thought anything out so I had my camera in hand for whatever came up for the next hour or so. Took some pics of Lily and of my dog doing the everday things. Lily found a National Geographic "Wonders of the World" magazine and she was oohing while looking at the phenomenal photography. She especially liked the pics of the Northern Lights, something I'd love to see someday. I just love to see curiosity in her eyes, she's like a sponge right now with so many new things to see and say and do and she loves looking at pictures. I shot this w/o using my flash because I didn't want to see a flash reflection coming from the magazine pages, just used the ambient light in the kitchen, so it was a bit of a challenge to make this shot look ok since I had such a slow shutter speed. I think it turned out pretty decent.
Had to cover the mural in preparation for the floor installation today

Claire and I were out at Macricostas Preserve (Connecticut) on Saturday. I had to look that name up - we always call it "The Pinnacle." Anyway, I took this at the start of the hike and thought it looked cool. The dark blue blob is a bit of an error on my part (caused by the circular polarizer I was using along with the wide angle) but I still like it. It also reminds me a little of the Windows XP "Bliss" background.
I was traveling from New York (JFK) to Guangzhou China (CAN) on China Southern Airlines. This is the "Wingtips Lounge" in Terminal 4 in JFK that my business class ticket allowed me entrance to. It was fairly mediocre.
Turns out these shoes are not so great to dance in. I need to get some toe cushions if I intend to try it again. The balls of my feet still hurt from Saturday night! [Project 366, Apr 28]
Last week during my study hall supervision, I saw this book sitting on my coworker's desk. I picked it up and read the first few pages and was totally intrigued. I ended up finishing it on Monday. Jodi Picoult has been hit or miss for me. My Sister's Keeper was great and so were several other of her books. Then I felt like she got in that rut where best selling authors crank out book after book to meet deadlines and make cash. John Grisham comes to mind, too. Anyway, this book was pretty darn good, I thought. A thought provoking page turner. Can't really go wrong with that. It was one of those books I found myself thinking about the next morning after I read it which, in my opinion, is a good sign. I clearly connected to the story and characters, ya know? It was a provocative enough story too; death penalty and religion. Yeesh! Anyway, if you are looking for a good read, I do recommend this book. The best part is I borrowed it so it was totally free! Score.
Claire is re-learning how to ride a bike. That is, she is learning how to use clipless pedals. Extrapolating from yesterday's results, she needs a lot of practice!
It was my birthday yesterday. Claire made a delicious chocolate-amaretto cheesecake, and I placed the camera on a tripod and jumped in for a photo.
We have a newly discovered favorite playground! More pics and info tomorrow!

I love this photo of Roger...he's one happy, lucky dog! Of course I got really lucky
when I adopted him, and I'm happy every day that he's my poodle.
A Saturday morning photo from 400 feet up. The leaves continue to cling to some of the trees in Connecticut, but the "fall foliage" is pretty much done.
Ribbons that I have hanging from my desk at work. Originally a decoration for a present, now just one more random item attached to my cubicle.
