let’s go fly a kite

Doug figured out that there’s a little adjustment you can make on the kite for different wind conditions. we both had a lot more fun with it, and did a lot more experimenting with “steering” it, instead of just responding to where it went. this was a particularly windy day, but we still had a blast!

birdie!

it cracks me up when we have hawks or owls at work, and parents tell their kids there’s a “birdie.”  if this hawk could understand English, she’d rip your friggin’ head off for saying that.

happy birthday?

celebrating our 100th birthday at work, and August is officially “Birthday Month.”  so we’ve declared tomorrow is Watson’s birthday and we’ll be singing to him and giving him presents (exactly what presents, I don’t know).  anyway…doesn’t he just look pleased as could be?

balancing act

for free day at work, we hired a bunch of street performer type acts to keep the people in line entertained.  and the people working.  this guy amused me….as he placed all this stuff on his chin, he’d mutter “take…..the picture……NOW!”  (reminded me of Young Frankenstein…)

hot dog!

every month the floor staff gets some kind of free lunch or dessert or some such, and today it was hot dogs.  now, a pile of dogs off the grill is festive.  a pile of supermarket dogs, out of the microwave (I assume) is kind of….sad.  and unappetizing.
