A Year in Pictures

Another year gone.

Another year wrap-up in images.

I am trying not to use previously seem pictures, but well, you never know. Some of you have seen some on Facebook or my Instagram, but few, if any, have been shown here.

There are no rules. It might be one pic per month, it might be seven. There are no designations in terms of what's going on here.

My blog, my rules.

January 2019 - Sunrise out my (then) office window. No filter used. No filter needed. (instagram pic)

January 2019 - Outside my office building. Sometimes I'm a simple guy. This made me smile.

 January 2019 - Shep & I outside my great-grandfather's house. It's where my father live upon his birth.

January 2019 - Cold cold winter. Standing on Lake Erie.

February 2019 - My mom getting an IV before her balloon procedure. I had to watch them take 45 minutes to find a vein. It was horrible for all involved. 

February 2019 - Shep is playing a very dangerous game. THAT is Sophie's spot. Sometimes she lets me sleep there too.


March 2019 - I wanted a hair transplant, but didn't want toupee. 

 March 2019 - After walking Shep at Frohring Meadows, we stumbled upon a shoe tree.

March 2019 - I'm a big fan of public art. I love this one.  The artist is Donald Black Jr..  (instagram pic)

 April 2019 - Possibly my fave pic of this year.   ....as seen in NYC.  (instagram pic)

 April 2019 - You didn't expect me to take a pic of something like this and not post it.

 August 2019 - Welcome Bailey.

 September 2019 - Looking towards Canada.  (Facebook pic)

September 2019 - Shep's first hotel stay. During our four day power outage.

October 2019 - Guess who made Goooooooogle Maps? 
That's right, Shep and Dad #2, who was talking to Dad #1 as we got scanned. 
Shep is worldwide famous now! The pic was taken months before, but finally showed up on Gooooooogle Maps.




October 2019 - NOH8.  Out of all the ones taken, they selected it was this one. At first I was good with it, but I noticed soon on, I have no lines. At all. They airbrushed / photoshopped the fuck out of me. Then I looked at all the others from the Cleveland shoot.  Not one person - including the 70 year old man - had a crease, crow's foot or furrow.  I found it quite creepy. I lived hard for those.


October 2019 - Doppelgänger.  (Facebook pic)

 November 2019 - SF Hyatt. Artsy Fartsy pic.

 November 2019 - In the Navy!

 November 2019 - The Bridge

 November 2019 - Half Moon Bay.

 November 2019 - John Muir Beach Lookout at sunset.

December 2019 - When you both want naps, but the sofa only has room for one of you.

 December 2019 - Holiday Shep.  He was great with the tree. Never even thought about touching it.

December 2019 - Last daycare pick-up of the year. I scratched this dude's neck. Love him. 


There you have it, a subjective look at my 2019. Onward to 2020.
