Since today was Columbus Day, I had the day off from work....I'll celebrate just about anything if I get time off from work...anyways I had been browsing the internet a couple of days ago and came up with a couple of recipes I wanted to try, so today I tried them. They are listed below...

A Class Divided

My grand-daughter Alyssa

I was recently involved in a discussion on the beauty of blue eyes in someone's flickr photo stream. It reminded me of this wonderful documentary of a social experiment that Jane Elliot, a third grade teacher, performed on her third grade class in 1968, the day after Martin Luther King Jr was assassinated. You can watch the full documentary through a link on the PBS web site link below:

My New Toy - Lomo Fisheye Camera

Something smells fishy....

I don't have any Lomo shots to post yet. I'm shooting some Lomo 100 36 exposure film in my new toy. Hopefully, a few of them will be lomo-refic to post!

I don't know how quickly I'll use the film up, but I'll get it processed and digitally reproduced so I can upload and share with my new Lomo friends.

Oh, My God!!

Are these things ever delicious! They’re better than a cinnamon roll and about 400 calories less! I think I’m in love…
