The Civil Wars [photos 2012]
I have an old buddy who’s a little bit more famous tonight. John Paul White of The Civil Wars with partner Joy Williams won two Grammys. As luck would have it my daughter was prowling in a drawer this afternoon and ran across this old photo of the band we were in about twenty years…

De-Ice Me [photos 2012]
My attitude is much better today since I’m comfortably settled in my own favorite chair. I did however wake up very early this morning in Watertown. Our plane arrived last night and sat there through a small snowfall. When I saw it I kept picturing it with “De-Ice Me” written with a finger on the…

Terrible Service [photos 2012]
The events of this afternoon made me really wish I was back in Vietnam. The service over there in general is light years ahead of Watertown NY, at least with the transportation companies. This is despite the fact that most of them don’t speak English! After waiting almost forty five minutes for a dirty cab…

Friendly’s Ice Cream Shop [photos 2012]
If you have read through my 2012 photo project at all you probably think I’m obsessed with food. I like good food as much as the next guy, but I think the frequency of food posts is because eating is down time and I can think about taking more photos. At any rate, today was…

I Met Danny Glover [photos 2012]
Yes, actor Danny Glover was giving a talk in Watertown and he stayed at the hotel I’ve been working in this week. Today we happened to be in the lobby when Mr. Glover came through. I wasn’t going to bother him for a photo, but he was gracious and indulged the front desk staff then…

I have another restaurant recommendation for you today. If you’re ever in Watertown New York, I highly recommend Shuler’s. Lots of classic American choices including seafood. I tried the Haddock Stuffed with crab meat and it was delicious. Looks like business is going to keep me in town a couple more nights. Hopefully our other…

O’Hare International [photos 2012]
Spent about three hours in the air today and about three and a half on the ground in O’Hare on the way to Watertown, NY on business. Not sure if this terminal has a special name, but this is an impressive spot. Traffic was pretty light since this was Super Bowl Sunday. Congrats to the…

Half Time [photos 2012]
Another rainy day and to top it off I got into a major plumbing repair job in my master bath. Excuses … I know, so you get a self-portrait today. This is the half of my face that’s not suffering from sinus-allergy-watery-eye crud. I experiemented a bit with the effects in Camera+. Feel free to…

The Office [photos 2012]
A bit of a cheap shot today, but I liked it. The card and pen holder came from a little store down the street from my hotel in Vietnam. This post is part of my One Photo Per Day of 2012 project. Technical details: iPhone 4s using Camera+.
