Some Firework Fun

It’s Olympic Time Baby!
Despite all the naysayers, boo-hoo’ers, protesters, grumps, whatever, I am looking forward to the Olympics. I didn’t start off this way. I was pretty indifferent up until about a month ago, but with all the buzz around work, the dress rehearsal for the Opening Ceremonies we went to last night, and the two sweet tickets ...
Olympic Luminious Art
There is some cool stuff going on in town now with the Olympics just a few days away. Up until about 3 weeks ago I was irritated with the Olympics, not for the preachy it’s a waste reasons of most around here, or that we should be curing hunger with that money. No I just ...
