      If you blog it, they will come

      Well, here we are. Another Monday, another skyline and satellite.

      Congratulations to Adam and Paulette for recognizing the Florence skyline, likewise to Liz for recognizing the faux Hawaiian island just northeast of the famous island group.

      All this brings us to this week’s contest. The satellite could be tough.

      SKYLINE!

      SATELLITE!

      Good Luck!

      DOOM!

      This weekend was packed with excitement. Friday’s class went pretty well. I’m pleased with the content so far. The class generated a really interesting debate about Gandhi, and the question of whether his influence would have been stronger had he had access to today’s technologies. It was a good time.

      Saturday was full of all sorts of Kung Fu thrills, followed by some music and a turkey dinner at Tony and Paulette’s place. The gravy was amazing. He found the recipe off of an Emeril website. I’ll see if I can hunt it down and share it with everybody. After turkey, I went home and watched the 2005 action movie DOOM starring The Rock as Sarge.

      The movie, if you’re not familiar, is based off of an early 90’s video game that helped popularize the idea of the ‘first person shooter’ genre. I have a few fond childhood Doom memories and my only disappointment with the movie was that it didn’t follow the story line very closely. I had heard it was beyond terrible. So, the fact that it passed as ‘watchable’ made it far exceed my expectations and I turned the movie off feeling pretty satisfied.

      Finally, Sunday was studyrific. With the added bonus of some climbing and a visit of Caitlin’s place where I realized that someday I really want to have a Husky. What a beautiful dog!

      We’ll end today’s post with a little humor. Thanks to Lindsay for passing this one on.
