I think she will work out just fine.

You can post stories of your experiences, recommend things to do, upload pictures etc. Anyone with a travel bug will enjoy browsing the site. (For the technical among us, the site was created with Ruby on Rails.)

I saw a leaf today that was starting to turn colors. I also found some interesting moss on a stick that fell out of the sycamore tree. Each of these abstracts has something related to the bits of nature I discovered in my yard this afternoon while Daniel was swimming. See what you can spot in them and let me know.

If anyone tries it, let me know what you think.

They are also more relaxed and even able to use shadow computers! This is the Student Center Display. It is the first component of the Shadowpeople of the library. The next component will be the banner. The final two components are the lifesize MDF Shadowmen and the brochure.

As some of you have heard, I have a project for work that I call “Shadowmen.” They are basically silhouettes that are in the PR for the opening of the Library East Commons. There are banners, brochures, a large display case, and a web presence. The most interesting part are the life size figures that I have been constructing in my garage. Here are some views before they worked on their tan yesterday afternoon. I will post more when the project is complete.

Maybe one day I will make it to this vacation destination. I don’t think I would do the winter ski thing, but I think I would enjoy the summer season. I think anyplace that you have to take a helicopter in and out of would meet the criterion of being unavailable. Cellphones don’t work there either. It kind of reminds me of the famous Northern Lights tour of 1997. It is hard to believe that next year will be the 10th anniversary of Nancy’s floaties in the water experience!
