Becoming a veteran of 24 hour trips myself, glad to see you found a few seconds to breathe and snap some pics. How'd it Go?

The first two shots are of the cafe near my office... The guy who owns the place is Iranian and makes an excellent latte...

The first shot is of my local coffee shop and variety store... This is about a block from my house.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115103959215043042"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx_8y408eI/AAAAAAAAArE/93YAWYprGyg/s800/0310.jpg" /></a> The next shots are from the Valentine's Day dance that I attended last Saturday at the Legion. Beer and Pretzels and you can see my wife looking super hot in the second shot (she's in the middle of the frame). At least I can tell (damn low light and goofy cameraphone lense). <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115103967804977650"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx_9S408fI/AAAAAAAAArM/WSFlGmXZEr8/s800/0311.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115103972099944962"><img src="http://lh3.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx_9i408gI/AAAAAAAAArU/3GjeVrL1Z84/s800/0312.jpg" /></a>

On Valentine's Day someone chalked hearts around all the posts for locking your bicycle. There were also a ton of pink hearts chalked all over Queen Street West.
<a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115103976394912274"><img src="http://lh4.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx_9y408hI/AAAAAAAAArc/KGlyORM1TtA/s800/0313.jpg" /></a> The next is a clock that wasn't telling the right time. <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115103980689879586"><img src="http://lh5.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx_-C408iI/AAAAAAAAArk/u2Bvsv19LZY/s800/0314.jpg" /></a> Finally, as I was waiting for the streetcar, standing in snow with the cold blowing across the valley I spied this indicator that Spring is on the way. <a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Temp/photo?authkey=UjR5dOgSIIc#5115103984984846898"><img src="http://lh6.google.com/StevenMurphy001/Rvx_-S408jI/AAAAAAAAArs/Lja02PqQiyw/s800/0315.jpg" /></a>

It's not really my sort of thing. I did buy tickets for my Stepmother-in-law and wife so they could go. They had a great time, apparently.

That's me, Feb 21, reflected in my ice filled wheelbarrow. What's a wheelbarrow used for this time of year? Firewood. Why is it full of water? Out of firewood. Why? Damn cold. 64 degrees one day then down to 20 a couple days later. And not a flake of snow this season!

West Drayton. Seemingly in the middle of nowhere, but actually quite close to Heathrow. This is close to where my job interview was held.
Guiness and a London pub. Within a few hours of making into town, this was me enjoying some of Ireland's finest (I had some bangers and mash as well). The next few are from my trip to Borough Market (it's on the south side of the Thames near London Bridge). Neil's Dairy is the best place for cheese. Apparently they export to North America. We had dinner at a restaurant named Fish! (it's in Borough Market). I thought this was a clever way of putting chocolate on my coffee. I love the tube. I love the tunnels. We are off to the V&A for fun. Dale Chihuly (?) glass sculpture in the lobby of the V&A. This was part of the exhibition that was out in the inner courtyard. Very close encounters... Need sex... just find the nearest phone box. Shadows going to the pub. The wedding vows. The wedding was at Southwark Town Hall. The wedding took place in the council chamber. I liked being councillor Ritche. Apparetnly you cannot get Clamato juice in the UK. We lugged six jugs of the stuff over the Atlantic so everyone could enjoy Bloody Caesars at the reception. Ghastly stuff. My friend Sanj tries on my wife's new hat... (Go Dog Go joke ensued). There were many more but the camera just didn't do them very well. The best of the wierd was this one of fresh meat at the Borough Market (rabbit, doe and duck) and of the market itself.

i'm guessing that the neil's dairy cheese is sold in the US under the label "neil's yard" - perhaps they're the same in canada?
sadly, the varieties available are greatly limited. i've never seen st. gall or doddington.

Apparently they do not sell cheese to individuals in the US but do sell to these US retailers:

Amonkie visits Toronto
So this weekend we were graced with another visit from Amonkie. This time there was no Rochester Ferry so she drove the 2.5 hours to Toronto from Rochester.
When she arrived on Saturday, I was able to take her to my local diner (featured in many pictures above). I can't post too many shots from this visit as they have pictures of my kids. I will post a link to this one because it looks like my son is about to make an obscene gesture at Amonkie sitting across the table from him. http://www.flickr.com/photos/charlatan/108719693/ Amonkie, finished eating, and the aftermath of our shared plate of homefries: That evening we made our way to a local pub, Dora Keogh. Here is Aberkok and another of Amonkie drinking some Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale and a little Fresnelly for good measure. Calamari, some wings and some fries... who snagged the last wing? Finally, for fans of the "Where Am I in Canada" thread, here is Amonkie at the Beer Store that started it all and the store of the crazy man.

It isn't quite Spring yet, but the flowers are in bloom at the flower shop.

Of Ducks and Orcs
This weekend past my son took part in March of the Monsters at our local Warhammer Shop. He entered a monster of his creation and came in second. I don't seem to have a picture of it... but I do have some shots of the other gamer's stuff.
Shelob Orc/Goblin Warriors Rubber Duckies While my son was doing his Warhammer thing, I wandered the Eaton Centre

Killing Time and London Leftovers
So I had to meet a friend at UofT... I was early. I was bored. Here are some I took while cooling my heels:
The Munk International School My window controllers Fuel to make the wait work Some self portraits Reflections and Fish Finally, some images left over from my visit to London. These were taking at the V&A during the exhibit I went to...

Cannes - Spring 2006
Zurich airport
Airport art Airport subway Killing time in the lounge… The front of the Carlton Hotel A little salad with dinner? My favourite ice cream place… awesome ice cream! A door on the walking street. Some of you may remember the picture I took a while ago while sitting in my favourite restaurant. Below is the reverse angle. Imagine my surprise to see a new lounge has opened in Cannes… Inside Charly’s Bar Objet d’art in Charly’s Bar Very late (early?) stumbling home after one (three?) too many bottles of champagne at Charly’s Bar.

The trees in Cannes always look funny in the Spring...
The bandstand in Cannes Another drunken stumble home... Sugar cubes... Tea... I never drink tea in France. This was someone else's tea. When I saw this, I thought of Nancy... Alliance Atlantis (the producers of CSI) had a party. This was the sight, as well as an SUV and some actors in uniform... oh and David Caruso (sadly this isn't a picture of him). Cheese... Nothing like sitting around eating French cheese. All around the Palais des Festival there are handprints of famous people. When I saw this one I had to take a picture for ShaniFaye... lover of all things Christopher Lambert

No, Caruso was the only "star" there for CSI: Miami. I did get to fly with Dennis Haysbert, the actor who played the president on 24. We stood in line checking in, getting on and off the plane and at security in Munich. I'm sure he was wondering why I was stalking him, but I was thinking the same thing about him.

Easter Weekend
A cow at the family farm. This is a piece of equipment left to rust in the old barn. It was once used to bail hay and then stack it... A set of old steps in the town of Killaloe. Lichen... Zero chasing rocks out onto the melting ice pack. The old family homestead. The Freshmart. Rusting farm equipment in the old drive shed. Spring is springing... Some colour at the corner of Yonge and Eglinton. Vertiginous. What is that tearing sound? Tulips getting ready to bloom in my backyard.

I get so caught up in your pictures, you never know what/where you're gonna see next! I'd like to be your assistant for a couple of weeks, heh.
But I bet the tulips budding at home are the sweetest shots for you, hmm?

I actually don't like the colour of the tulips in my back yard (red and yellow). I only like them when they are like the photos above. I do like the ones we have in the front yard (there are pictures of them from last year in this thread).
I don't think an assistant would have much do but follow me around and chat. I am pretty self contained. Any assistance I currently receive doesn't get to travel with me, they get to sit in the office and courier packages... It's a nice thought though.

Well, I meant mostly that because they are at home, and you are obviously getting to be home while taking those pictures...
See, a great assistant would make herself indespensible. You'd be saying to yourself, "Wow, I never had an assistant who traveled with me before, but now I don't know how I possibly got along without her!"
