orange outing

We even let them out occassionally...here is the orioles at the redwings game...fun for all.

orange afield

They are the orangest thing going...they are the orioles of the eastside. Grace's second season under Coach Elliott. Well done Coaches.

Grace does this magic trick where she manages to hit the ball (slightly) with her eyes closed. Boy do the coaches love that.

They won a few games this season...Grace had some hits...her throws to first were better this year and she started pitching. She threw quite a few strikes in her last outing. I think she had fun.

the gang was all here at our place for the belated party for Grace's Communion. We had chicken and shrimp off the barbie...I made 5lbs of shrimp...I thought there would be tons of leftovers but...no...I guess they came out pretty good.

We had a little family "slide show " which we have not had in some time. Good fun.

New Frank Lloyd Wright

I have admired this design for a long time.. super strong horizontals, reminds me of Unity Temple a little...the renderings were looking up from the bottom of a cliff...very japaneese...this design was never excuted ...until 2 years ago when some local Buffalo people paid for the "Wright" to build it.


Nicely executed...door finishes are failing already.


I still can't figure out how he can get the steel to cantilever that far and hold the concrete
panels...dead load way above 50lbs/sf...?

rush rhees at night

the rochester skyline icon is nicely lit up at night. I did some work on the collaborative learning center her a couple years ago...an amusing experience...given that the building housing the rare book collections is in the upper floors of the tower....it will be a roman candle if the thing ever goes up...lots of fun discussions with the fire marshal about sprinklers and rare book colletions.

Diner fun with Gracie and Maria. This is certainly a happy place. The food is the same, the specials are the same. Thay alway have carrots on thursday nights but still we go almost weekly. WE have seen about thirty waiters/waitresses come and go...oh well ...we go...have fun and it's part of life.

C'est la vie.
