Naoko Funayama interviewing Patrice Bergeron during the second intermission of a Bruins game against Tampa Bay. Naoko Funayama is sort of the Boston Bruins equivalent of the L.A. Kings Heidi Androl. (Used my iPhone to take this picture off the TV in my hotel room - I'm about 30 miles west of Boston but couldn't make the game.)
In October 2007 Patrice Bergeron was hit from behind in a game and knocked unconscious for 45 seconds. He was diagnosed with a Grade 3 concussion which caused him to miss most of the season. This season he's come back and today was nominated by local Boston writers as the Boston nominee for the Masterton Trophy which is awarded to the NHL player who shows the most perserverance to hockey.

Edited NASA image of a logo being installed on Perseverance.
Original caption: The “Send Your Name to Mars” logo is installed on the Mars Perseverance rover on March 16, 2020, inside the Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. When the rover lands on the Red Planet on Feb. 18, 2021, it will be carrying the names of more than 10 million people throughout the world. Those names were etched onto a microchip, which was placed aboard Perseverance. Liftoff aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket is targeted for mid-July from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. NASA’s Launch Services Program based at Kennedy is managing the launch.

Watering flowers
in front of a flower store she owns
on Second Avenue
in downtown Long Beach. I walked
by her, listening to the ecstatic music
of the great Srevie Wonder in my
iPod, and saw her, and turned
around, staring at her. She noticed
me looking, and I didn't know if I
made her uncomfortable or not,
and hoped I didn't. I approached her (after pausing the music),
and said, "You saw me staring at you -
I'm taking photos of great looking
people in Long Beach today,
and you really look great." She smiled brightly and sweetly, and asked,
"How great?"
I said, "Especially great." I asked to take her photo, and she said yes and whipped off her glasses. I told her the glasses looked good, and she immediately put them back on. I took a couple of photos and thanked her,
and she said, "No, thank YOU. In fact, you've made my day."

we visited an aunt and uncle of odin's this evening and they had some pictures of their son, mitchel, who looks like he could have been odin's twin brother. the picture of mitchel was taken when he was around a month old which is only a couple of weeks older than odin is now ( speaking in age adjusted terms of course ).
odin's shirt was made by his grandma salmi. sisu is a finnish word that means "stamina, perserverance, courage, and determination held in reserve for hard times", which we think is a perfect motto for little odin.
odin just ate so he's quite sleepy.

Dental work require patience, perserverance and attention to detail. I thoroughly enjoying comparing the pre and post pics
We finished the race in second place as a team and were ranked as top Asians overall. Sounds impressive, but I've never been more humbled by a race and learnt so much about the human spirit.
This shot of The Team posing with Race Director, Ian Adamson, was taken with my Pentax Optio 43WR by an unkown photographer.

At a gas station
in Long Beach,
he was filling up the tank
of his old wine-dark Caballero.
When I asked to take his portrait,
he was very suspicious, and suggested
I would use his photo and put it on
a false I.D. Then he asked to see my
driver's license, which I promptly
showed him, and assured him
I wouldn't use his photo in that fashion. He said, "I guess I would need to
trust you then."
I said, yes, it would require some measure of trust.
He then asked what kind of car
I was driving, and I pointed to my
green-blue Volvo parked nearby.
He smiled and said, "Anyone who
drives a Volvo is someone I can
trust." I laughed, and aimed my
camera.
"What do you want me to do?" he asked, his eyes unfortunately
cloaked in the shadow from his
cap. I said, "Just look at me,
and smile, if you want to." He did.
Then he told me his name,
and spelled it for me, to make sure
I got it right. And I did.
When I got in my car,
my radio tuned into NPR,
the very first thing I heard
was a news report about
the widespread occurence
of identity theft in America.
I reflected on Ralph's consternation
about this very issue, and about
the dark irony of so many people
worrying, with good reason, about identity theft, in such
close, even intimate, proximity
to people like Herb, pictured herein,
and Stu, both of whom were homeless
just yards from Ralph's concern,
and who sadly
have no real identity to steal.

Over a million emaciates left Ireland during the Great Famine. Now, they are commemorated at Custom House Quay as if they, and all their earthly possessions, are bound for the departing steamer.
Famine' (1997) was commissioned by Norma Smurfit and presented to the City of Dublin in 1997. The sculpture is a commemorative work dedicated to those Irish people forced to emigrate during the 19th century Irish Famine. The bronze sculptures were designed and crafted by Dublin sculptor Rowan Gillespie and are located on Custom House Quay in Dublin's Docklands.
This location is a particularly appropriate and historic as one of the first voyages of the Famine period was on the 'Perserverance' which sailed from Custom House Quay on St. Patrick's Day 1846. Captain William Scott, a native of the Shetland Isles, was a veteran of the Atlantic crossing, gave up his office job in New Brunswick to take the 'Perserverance' out of Dublin. He was 74 years old. The Steerage fare on the ship was £3 and 210 passengers made the historical journey. They landed in New York on the 18th May 1846. All passengers and crew survived the journey.
In June 2007, a second series of famine sculptures by Rowan Gillespie, was unveiled by President Mary McAleese on the quayside in Toronto's Ireland Park to remember the arrival of these refugees in Canada.
