A Day in Pictures

It's been a hectic day. Sometimes that happens.

I'm finally getting around to writing this post, and it's already after 5PM.

You see, last night, Zoe and I agreed that she would be in charge of writing today.

But then, she didn't quite get around to it. I asked her what came up, and all she would say is this: "Something Super Important."

I have no idea what that means, do you?

Well, no matter. I understand that she is Super Important and has Super Important Stuff.

Super, Super Important, even.

OK, so what I thought I would do is illustrate my day in photos.

First, I went to work. But on my lunch hour, I walked a couple of blocks up the hill on State Street to the Erie Art Museum. On the stairs for a lunchtime concert were 2 Heliotropes (in case you've missed out on my last couple of mentions of the Heliotropes-- there's usually 4 or 5--, they are my new favorite band. And, they are LOCAL ERIE-ITES!! Even Better!!):

2 Heliotropes jamming in the sunshine!
(A short video of them will surface for Flip Friday!! Stay tuned!!)

After a lovely bike ride home, my parents stopped by to drop off my most excellent kayak, The Loon:

The Loooooooooooooon!!!!

And, now, after I write this, it will be time for a little painting before dinner. The Blisschick is downstairs dancing (like a loon!) and Miss Zoe and I will do a little painting. We're working on a bit of a portrait of....well...someone:

Our cat will probably visit, too:

And lastly, Miss Zoe would like to reveal to you, her Loyal Followers, a wee glimpse into what she calls her Super Important Stuff.

Turns out, it is this:

Rolling!!

ROLLING!!

AND, MORE ROLLING!!!


Well, I guess that is Super Important. Therefore, we will excuse Miss Zoe from her writing assignment. Clearly, I should do my own work, yes?

Clearly.

Flip Friday

For those of you who are expecting a Miss Zoe video, today may very possibly be disappointing.

Miss Zoe is still a little mad at me for being away.

I was only away for 3 days and 2 nights. But, she is holding that against me. And I think it's going to last a couple more days.

You see this past Sunday, I went on a trip. It was a kayak trip down a 30+ mile section of the Allegheny River. A very serpentine section that runs from Franklin, PA to Parker, PA. Along the way, we camped on a couple of the River's wee islands.

It was very fun. At least, that's what I thought. There's nothing quite like a few days in the wilderness, right?

Well, Miss Zoe wasn't really supportive of the trip. She loves her cats and the Blisschick, but truthfully, they do not give her the undivided attention she pretty much demands.

You know how that goes.

So, today I said, "Zooooo-eeeee! Time to make the Flip Friday video!!" and she turned her back to me and threw over her fuzzy Rabbit shoulder, "Make your own #%&^* video. I'm not a circus animal."

O....K.....

So, I made my own #%&^* video. It's a montage of my trip.

I know. It's no Miss Zoe. But I think by next week, she may forgive me.

I hope.

So for your viewing pleasure, I offer up this video:
