Rocky Mountain High

Rocky Mountain High

I took this from 32K feet on my way to San Fransisco. I looked out the window and saw we where flying over the Rockies. Both of my cousins are in Colorado and I saw all the snow that seemed to be every where below us and thought, I hope they are having fun.

Wonderful, warm day

What a great Sunday! I took my paints and canvas outside and watched the kids play on the swing. We all had a great time. I’ll post this painting when I finish it.

Holiday Sixlets

Holiday Sixlets

I’ve missed a few days, but all weekend I was working on some new technology for the server (this one, the server that hosts frapto and other domains for www.gowtz.com). Today is a quickie pic. I found these sixlets at the store the other day, it’s the first time I have ever seen them in these colors.

Update 2009-11-16: Upon sampling the holiday colored sixlets, they have left me with a different impression than their standard counterparts. They seem to taste a bit more creamy than usual. Not necessarily a good thing, unless you are into creaminess, which I’m not. Maybe it’s all in my mind as a result of trying a white one first.

I Love Miniature Condiments

I Love Miniature Condiments

In nicer hotels you get condiments in these little glass bottles (see quarter for scale) instead of plastic packages when you order room service.  I have never ordered room service, but I realized that if you walk around the halls in the morning you can pick these up from the trays people leave outside their rooms.  Now, these tiny glass bottles aren’t very environmentally-friendly (I doubt the hotel staff recycle them), but they are just so dang cute!

It’s not that hard to find ketchup bottles, but I hit the jackpot when a friend of mine spotted the rarer mayo and Dijon mustard.  In my collection I also have  a tiny bottle soya sauce, a couple of different hot sauces, and tiny bottles of jam, honey and marmalade.  I am now seeking to add white vinegar, balsamic vinegar, relish and regular mustard to my collection.
