Outside my window at work we have been watching men dig an immense hole.  These men have begun preparing the building site of a 1000 space parking lot for my office building.  Those of use who make our living crafting computer programs out of ether often find ourselves envying these guys who, despite the challenging weather conditions are able to, at the end of the day, point to something physical and say – I did that!.  I’ve always said that a man with a shovel and a hole to dig was a happy man – having a job to do and the means to accomplish it.  This job should take some time, so I will keep you folks posted.

This guy was my favorite Olympian tonight.  Aksel Lund Svindal of Norway won the Super G.  I especially loved the way his dad was there for him. From Courbet himself –  ”The beautiful is in nature, and it is encountered under the most diverse forms of reality. Once it is found it belongs to art, or rather to the artist who discovers it.”.

I always felt the subjects were a bit stiff in this painting, but I suppose I’m not surprised.

Shot today in Maymont.  Many years ago I had the job to drive a tractor and mow the lawn in this wonderful park.  This particular part of the park always gave me a strong feeling of deja vu.  Today was a beautiful day and the park looked great in its coat of white.

The National Anthem of Canada “Oh Canada” is the greatest anthem out there. This one is by GWAR from America Must Be Destroyed
