Nowhere now = Rhinebeck, NY

No more Alfred for me. I'm now using my parent's place as home base for summer jaunts. My nowhere space is now Limbo Land.

An Exhibit: "Special Enough"

The 2008-2009 Alfred "Special Students" and I organized a show in the Rhodes Room at Alfred University. Here are the results of our artistic and organizational abilities. More photos of my work will be uploaded on my Facebook profile (and hopefully one of these days on my updated and fancified website). Fella' artists include: Normandy Alden, Marisa Hricovsky, Elizabeth Perone, and Tracy Teagarden (in absentia: Carol Koffel).

Apparently, having toys at your opening is a good idea as this seems to hold your guests attention a bit longer than just the art and/or food would do.

He's been working at this location for over 30 years.
It is fantastic.

It's a store of sorts.

An entrance to an interior (?) space.

A favorite scene of mine.

Tools to be had.

Beautiful bins.

The most order you'll find at Ivan's.

Ahhhhhhhhhh.

Beauty.

The view from inside to the outside.

Brewing and steeping.

I am now the proud and confused owner of the thing above thing
in the above photo, and of all the things below:

I plan to return.

Driving Around Alfred, NY

These are some of the things I see:

In Amish Land.
I think the first sign is the school bus,
second must be for a small family?


I'm not sure if this was a self-service shop or just someone's personal collection in Angelica, NY.

A great find (for me) in Angelica!
It came just like this all boxed up nice.

JUST FOOD is:

Just cool! Check them out and sign the honeybee petition for NYC to legalize beekeeping. I just did!

Anybody have any tips for me?

Happy Birthday to Me, Happy Birthday to ME!

I'm 35 and still alive.
I will try harder to post more often and eventually, well maybe not, get to the Inauguration Story. It seems so long ago already, do I have permission to not blog about it?

And Happy Birthday to all of you!
