Boston Bruins and the USO come up big!!!

The Boston Bruins and the USO teamed up to provide seats to veterans at the Bruins/Panthers game, Nov. 12, 2009. Bruins defenseman Mark Stuart donated $5000 dollars to purchase an entire section. The B’s played a great game but fell to the Panthers in the shoot out.

Keep your eyes on the puck

This video is a little long, about 4 minutes, but gives a good idea of what it’s like to be in the cockpit.

Found this little street during my travels yesterday.

Not the most common name in the world so it's nice to see it whenever I can.

Ok, this is cool. Everyone should have a street named after them.  It’s Right outside Ft. Meyer in Arlington, Va. The Street is named after a Gen. Veitch. I’m still trying to find out some information on him.

Pretty easy to spot from where I parked. The White house is allot bigger than I thought.

I went to the D.C area yesterday and had a great time taking photos with the new Nikon D70. I visited the Pentagon, Arlington National Cemetery, The White House, the Washington Monument, the World War II Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial.

I’m very impressed at how close everything is to each other.

The Cup Skates Tonight!!!

It’s the pivotal game seven of the Stanley Cup Finals. Not sure who I want to win. I’m a Bruins fan and generally favor the “Original Six,” but I’s also like to see former Bruin and Massachusetts born Hal Gill win the cup.

Lets just hope for a great game.

END of period 3  — Pittsburgh 2, Detroit 1

Exciting finish to the game.

Congratulations Pittsburgh!

Still Getting Set up

Well I’m getting pretty close to having this blog up and running the way that I want. I’m still having some issues with the way the fonts get squished together but once I figure that out I should be good to go.

Over the next few weeks I’ll be doing allot of backdated posting to get all my old blog posts all in one archive.

keep checking back for some new material that I’ll post as well.

It came from out of nowhere.

Here is the alien in progress. It started out as a stoney cliff and kind of just transformed with some suggestions form the kids.

One day while I was sitting in the studio, I was messing around with some brushes. My son came in and said that’s cool, maybe you could make that an alien in space.

No Sketch, no plan, just for fun.

They like their SciFi, so I said sure let me make something to hang in your room.

It’s not done yet, but here is the piece in progress.

Here is the work I had completed when my son cam in and suggested it should be an alien.
