Lost in OK

No real story here, I just liked how this portrait of my co-worker Gregory came out. The light in the office is really great for portraits.

So I skipped the worst of a cold last week only to come down with a bad case of the flu this week. The worst of it is that this is the first year in many that I didn’t get a flu shot. I guess I tempted fate once too often.

So for now, I am spending my time sleeping between doses of medicine.

So the flu has me knocked out for yet another day. When I’m not sleeping, I can count on the view above me to remain unchanged.

Christmas is still five days away and yet preparations are in full swing. Every evening I come home to a house full of delicious baking smells as Grace’s amazing baking factory churns out a never-ending stream of deliciousness.

Tonight’s baked masterpieces included a whole batch of gingerbread men. This particularly effective rendition of Lady Gaga was made by Gwen’s friend Mercedes.

It was a long day of Christmas merriment and some of us needed a little nap. ;)

Some toys really need some showing off.

Unfortunately, Grace, who had been feeling poorly for the last couple of days, woke up really sick on Christmas morning. And I started to come down with a cold as well. So, our activities for Christmas Day were primarily reserved for watching the fire. All in all, it could be much, much worse.

So far the Project 365 experiment that I started in September has been a fabulous experience. However, in reviewing the photos I’ve taken so far, there are several things that I’m not entirely happy with. First, I’ve been having too much fun with effects instead of presenting images in a more straight forward manner. That is easily enough taken care of.

This certainly doesn’t qualify as one of the more attractive photos, but I guess it tells the story of my day.  It was a very damp but pleasant ride to work but I required some improvised drying techniques to get ready for the ride home.  Thankfully no one dropped by my desk during the day.
