My Favorite Half Inning of Baseball, Ever

FC Buffalo

I'm really looking forward to seeing some FC Buffalo soccer matches this summer. These were taken at last year's home match against the Rochester Lancers (won by Buffalo 3-0).

My Favorite Painting, Today

Paul Signac, The Grand Canal, Venice 1905

Four Views

These are four different angles on a really cool piece of art I saw exhibited at the Burchfield Penney Art Center at the beginning of last year. The piece is entitled Field of Pyramids, and it was by an artist named Hannah Thompsett. I hope I get a chance to see more of her work sometime.
