Marco's Race

It has been a little bit of a while since I've posted anything about running, but I have kept it as part of the routine. I still get out and cover a few miles a few days each week and the fall weather has been very invigorating. I will hate to see it end. We had our first taste of things to come the other day when I was greeted with a mixture of big fluffy white snowflakes and drizzly rain. We did get about an inch of accumulation. Today was a bit of a repeat as I took part in

MARCO’S RACE TO CURE HEMOPHILIA
It was a nice little 5k (3miler) which took place just down the road in Bangor, PA. The weather might have been better with snow turning to rain and weighing down my sweat jacket. I think I finished the race 10 pounds heavier, but it was a fun run through and through and for a good cause too.

My Little Abstract Expressionist Artists

I really don't know my art history that well, so the label Abstract Expressionism is probably inaccurate, but this post showcases the photographic artwork of young Aidan and the crayol work of younger Ryan. Featured here, are my little Picasso's two periods. Oh wait I guess for Aidan it may be his early three period, but close enough.

Recently while driving through Princeton we decided to park the van, go for a walk and check out the lovely town and campus. We strolled the grounds and took the opportunity to get some pictures of the boys here and there among the sculptures and pathways of the beautiful campus.

At one point Aidan requested the camera and before you could say "What in Jackson Pollock" are you doing over there he was off photographing everything from a 2 year old, um I mean early 3 year old perspective.
Here is a little montage of just a few of the works from his canon as i am sure they will someday prove ground breaking and most influential.

The followimg are my particular favorites with a water theme along with a portrait of the artist as a young man.

Here's the younger Ryan's portrait of an artist as a young man hard at work at his craft.

Thankfully he has evolved beyond his wall phase and is expressing himself on paper.
