Doctor Doom

This is Wee Pierre stealing my dinner.

I was not happy to have my dinner stolen.

I recruited artists for an art fair in the park over Labor Day weekend. The fair was in conjunction with a triathlon.

Not surprisingly we ended up with three artists participating. We actually had four, but one of them never showed up.

I borrowed this tricorn hat from the museum. I really think I need one of my very own.

Wildlife Safari came with their cheetah. The woman on the right kept getting upset when runners would come through and the crowd would clap. She would get this annoyed look on her face and say "look, a cheetah".

They kept feeding the cheetah baby birds. I personally thought it was a little gross, but hey, what do I know?

There were several bands performing. Mostly they did oldies. Luckily there was no barbershop quartet.

At a certain point we realized our further presence was unnecessary, so we packed up and went home.

Somehow I ended up with a giant bruise on my ankle. Maybe I'm working to hard

A waste of space

I think there is little to no point to this picture. Maybe I was making sure the camera still worked.

I really don't know what the point of this one is.

At least this one has a scenic background.

This appears to be a picture of one of my various injuries.

And back in my office. I probably should have just omitted this entire post.

Cat eats drywall

This is a drywall sculpture given to me by my friend Julia Klein.

When I drove across the country, the drywall sculpture sat on my dashboard.

The day I got to Oregon, I was pulled over. The officer asked me what it was, and I told him that it was a drywall sculpture that my friend Julia Klein from Chicago had made me. He let me go with a warning, I believe I have the sculpture to thank.

Eventually I had to move the sculpture inside because it kept falling off my dashboard.

The other day I caught the cat trying to eat my lucky drywall sculpture.

Meet my boyfriend, take my groceries

Evelyn had a going away party at her house.

The following day; Evelyn and her man friend were driving back to Michigan.

Regina had come down from Alaska to attend the send off.

I made Evelyn a going away CD that included only INOFFENSIVE music.

I hope it wasn't so inoffensive that it managed to offend her.

Ben was in charge of barbequeing sausages. He refused to poke holes in the sausages.

And thus, they exploded when we tried to eat them.

Evelyn gave us her old groceries.

I ended up with several varieties of rice.

This is Evelyn's man friend. I think his name is Mitch or Carl or something.

I think Matt ended up without any groceries. Or maybe he was just sad to loose his office mate.

Evelyn's man friend mentioned, how in preparation for Evelyns return to Michigan, he had purchased many different varieties of flour.

I really don't know what one would do with so much flour.

This is Ben doing his impression of Carmen Miranda.

Hippie Music Fair

The gang/part of the gang/a gang went down to Grants Pass, Oregon to help Sam at a hippie music fair.

The festival was held on the Rouge river, but, I forgot my fishing equipment (we will note it has been quite some time since the last time I didn't catch any fish).

Lee Ann was a Jr. Bass Master. We are going to go fishing and we will catch very large fish because she knows what she's doing.

Grants Pass's downtown area has decorated bears throughout. They are like those cows in Chicago.

Me & Lee Ann stopped and got margaritas before heading back to work.

Then we ate some of these mushrooms.

Lee Ann had missed most of her shift.

It was fine though. We played some Frisbee.

This was one of many hippie-jam-bands performing this afternoon.

In front of the stage stood a lone hippie dancer (this is NOT a picture of said dancer).

I have plans for my own hippie-jam-band/death metal band; we will be called Didgeridoom.

A view from the eye of the hippie dance storm.

The band did an encore jam with all of their friends. The jam lasted three hours.

We had all planned to go camping after the fair.

Our car was too tiered to go camping so Maggie & David went out on their own.

On the drive back; Ben and Lindsey argued about "Spin Classes".

We later found out that Maggie & David had ended up camping in a day use area.
