andrew recently visited a local studio along with brenda mccauley (l) and allison smith (middle).

we dropped in on 313 recording in morrisville.

jeff creed owner of 313 gave us some time and gave these young talented players a chance
to smell the future.  i expect we'll be in there next year making some music.  stay tuned.

this year rolled by fast.  i saw one concert this year....pat metheny and friends last month at duke.


i made it to the fair since we last talked........

monkey mayhem everywhere....sounds, smells....usually realy good, tons of people.

things to catch your eye......

and things to win your sweety.

there was old stuff to look at everywhere.

right after i took this photo i leaned back and let out a full blast tarzan yell...........

the elephant trumpeted and bolted for the parking lot.  it was really cool.  wild kingdom time.

i made a trip to ohio to visit my really old kickin momma and my fathers gravesite.
it's a small town with an almost disney-like built in charm.  my mom says i alway bring nice weather.

i crossed rivers........



drove through tunnels........



fall was just getting started.



back here fall really fell.........and i had spent some time looking for colors.

all the trees and leaves.............

made for one beautiful fall this year.

i spent a little time with a friend on thanksgiving and if you click on the shot below
you'll get a feel for almost being there with me.  i took a sequence of photos and stiched them up.

to really get a view of this photo....not taken by me obviously....click on the image below and
marvel at your tax dollars at work.  it was taken via satilite i think last winter.  the detail is freaky.

personally....i'd rather see my tax money used for this type of science than some new bunker buster
smart bomb but we don't need to go there now.  here are some cosmic eye candy shots.

you paid for it...........the big eye in the sky..........so enjoy the view.





ladys and gentleman.............the sun!  let's hear it for the big kahonna!





and the rovers on mars are still sending back daily shots like these of a close up on a
new discovered martian patio.
