Project-365

I had the opportunity right before Thanksgiving to take part in a fun cycling event called Cranksgiving. This informal ride takes part in many places around the country and consists of several stops at area grocery stores where riders will pick up selected food items which will then be donated to an area food bank. Since I can never compete on speed, I put Ms. Blu Haul to good use by going for the most weight which ended up being about 40 lbs of can goods. [Read More]

It was a busy day for both Grace and I, so a lazy evening reading, writing and watching TV in bed was called for.

Rule #1 of Project 365 is to remember to take your camera with you every day. I kinda forgot that one today and was forced to do a little self-referential photography.

For most of this year, looking out over Lake Hefner was a bit sad with long spits of dry red earth sticking out into the lake. However, we’ve been geting some great rains for the last couple of weeks and when combined with some water releases from another lake, and the view is definitely improving. Here are some older pics for reference:

Admittedly this is pure bike porn, but I couldn’t pass up another pretty dawn ride picture. My morning commute remains my hands-down favorite part of my day.

Today we had a big open house to celebrate and officially announce our new company headquarters. Of course, what is a fancy party without some fancy food on sticks!

It was a really busy day getting ready for a friend’s wedding the next day. Grace was in charge of getting the reception ready and I was going to be running a photobooth after I got back from the Oklahoma Bike Summit. In any case, we had to run a few errands including a stop by the bride’s house where I snapped this photo.

It was a frantic but fun day. I spent the main part of the day at the Oklahoma Bike Summit and then rushed over to the Harn Homestead for Buffalo and Kelly’s wedding. It was a fun event and I got some great pictures in the photobooth.

After a night of partying, there is nothing more satisfying than the guilty pleasure of a Coit’s breakfast. Snapped this shot of the dining room while picking up our breakfast.

It has been so dry for so long it is always wonderful when we get a nice soaking like we got over the last couple of days!
