He's back. Yes, Young Adam strikes again. While we were having a drink of wine the other night, he and Tom were being a bit silly.
OK, I decided to toast everyone for absolutely no reason other than we were all hanging out in Tremont and done with work for the day.
I guess they decided to take the silliness a bit further. I was lucky enough to get my cell phone out to capture the moment.
While my friends and I were out in Tremont, Tom noticed this bike outside of Edison's pub.
It is true that Edison once filmed his friend doing bike tricks.
Granted, I didn't have any video and my friend didn't pedal anywhere, but it was still a great moment.
While I was coming back from a client meeting, my co-worker and I were enjoying an unseasonably sunny day in Cleveland. It is November and in the 60s.
Given the great weather, it was funny to see a crew of men loading snowflake decorations into a van in Downtown Cleveland. That means people are getting set up for the holiday season.
I always thought it would be strange to live somewhere it didn't get cold during Christmas - I think I just realized I would be weirded out by that.
Does that mean I am looking forward to the snow - heck no. I would take the warm weather all the way through Thanksgiving!
It was one of those days. Good days. It seemed that there were so many photo opportunities in the few blocks that surround my house.
I came across a front yard decorating in celebration of the Obama victory, I noticed a ton of new sign guy signs (to come later) and I noticed this odd little farm stand outside of one the houses.
The house didn't look like it had a big yard for a small garden, but the owner might be part of one of the many community gardens throughout the city.
The morning after an historic presidential election, I was walking to work through Tremont on my way to work and encountered this front yard.
Although I have seen tons of Obama signs throughout the neighborhood, this was definitely the most enthusiastic display for the new President elect.
Although it is hard to see the details of the sign, the maker of the sign incorporated a gay pride rainbow in the Obama logo - quite clever actually. He used a roll of stickers to wrap around the tree, and was lucky enough to have good weather.
As I mentioned before, I voted in Tremont today. I also got the badge of honor, the voting sticker.
Of course, I can get free stuff today if I wear it around. Heck, I planned on wearing it anyway, so bring on the free Starbucks.
I voted!
I headed out of my door at 6:32 a.m. and headed to my local polling station. When I got there at 6:35, this line was already formed out of the door.
Yes, the polling station was an organizational disaster and the scanner machines broke, but I got to vote. I now need to trust that my ballots make it to the right place and get counted.
The funniest part was the some of the early voters stole the black pens that were attached to the voting stations. I guess that is what happens when you vote in an urban neighborhood.
