Views of Spring from the Oregon District

Having run out of coffee this morning, I was “forced” to walk to the coffee shop on 5th Street for my cup of joe. Here are a few snapshots from my walk. Lucky for me – I ran out of coffee beans or otherwise I might have missed the flowers of spring…

Even the fish are full of winter

Since the gym was closed, I thought my workout tonight would be shoveling snow. Other than a few chirping birds and a stumbling drunk who remarked, “damn… those are some mighty clean walks bro,” the neighborhood was pretty quiet. Taking advantage of the magic hour lighting, I snapped a few photos around the neighborhood.

It was interesting to find a downspout, shaped like a fish, that was about as full of winter as I am.

Here are a few photos I took while walking in the neighborhood.

Whiskey Ginger Ale Cocktail

Craig — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 23:34:00 +0000

Start with large rocks glass filled about 1/2 full with crushed ice.

2 oz Whiskey – Phillips Union
1 couple of slices of fresh ginger (I used a veggie peeler)
1 teaspoon simple syrup (season to taste as they say)
Splash Cointreau
Fill with Boylan ginger ale (about 4 to 5 ounces depending on the size of the glass)

Stir – Enjoy.

Next time I make this I’m going to try it with Bourbon – Woodford Reserve perhaps.

First attempt using the new app for iPhone called Pano The interface is a little clunkly in terms of trying to align the edges especially in bright light, but for a $10 app, it’s a lot of fun. Looking forward to taking many a pic!

Flat Stan has arrived in Dayton – Oh what a tour

Like thousands of Americans, I too had my time with Flat Stanley. Since Dayton is Birthplace of Aviation, Stanley got to see the sights of the world famous aviators.
