Sunday, November 15, 2009Touring the East Coast Two weeks ago I met up with my parents to visit relatives in New York. I haven't been there in at least 15 years! We also also went on bus tours down the East Coast, seeing places like D.C., Boston, Philadelphia, Cambridge, New Haven, and Newport. I'm uploading pictures to Flickr little by little. Right now I have pictures from Baltimore and some of D.C.. Enjoy!

Thursday, September 17, 2009Photos of Summer 2009 (Part 2) Last Saturday a few friends and I went to Cooper's Landing (you may have to scroll around), a store/campground/happenin' place on the Missouri River, around a half hour from Columbia. There was an Eco Art Fest there, with booths and live music. You know how I can't resist these things.
I got there first in the evening. I sat down in front of the music stage. A good place to watch for the others, I thought. A white erase board next to the stage advertised a raffle, around 15 minutes away. Soon enough, a woman was walking around selling tickets. I bought a few, since it was a good cause and I do have an interest in probability. I saw one of my friends, Mo, approaching. I got up to greet her and her friend. At that moment they held the raffle drawing on the stage. And they called my name! I won a sunset trip for two on the Missouri River! Just twenty minutes after I got there and minutes after I found Mo, we were putting on life jackets, getting ready to board a boat with the other winners. The boat ride was incredible. It wasn't a short little spin around the river, we were out there for forty-five minutes! The photo opportunities were great and many. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() As we pulled into Cooper's Landing we saw our other friends waiting for us. We had delicious Thai food, took a walk on the Katy Trail in total darkness, and generally had a blast. |

Sunday, September 13, 2009Photos of Summer 2009 (Part 1) Winter and I went to Jefferson City to teach teens at the public library how to make delicious comic jams. Before the event we toured downtown with coincidentally identical cameras.
