With all of the gatherings and events this week, my resolutions have already taken a delay. I am supposed to be going to bed on time, getting up early and getting some riding in. Instead here I am, groggy and disoriented, driving into work late. That’s ok though, one more week of holiday fun and then I’ll really get to work.
Continuing my post illness need for partying, Iva, Una and I made of evening out of a visit to the gun range and then a trip to the local nautical themed bar, The Porthole.
Not that I am encouraging anyone to take up smoking nor do I miss it, but it does make for some great photos. This was taken on the last night I would see Iva for this trip. We had a great evening of shooting guns and consuming libations (and yes,in that order).
I always love the chance to see this dear friend and I miss her when she’s gone. However, at least I can be sure that when she is gone, she is collecting some great stories for the next time I see her.
I’ve finally recovered enough so that I can attend a dinner party with Grace, my Parents, the Savic’s and Jelena. It was a wonderful time and we were graced with some of the very talented playing from Iva’s father Dragan. It felt really great to be able to socialize again. 
Photographs from a wonderful dinner party at my parents place with good friends, great food and fabulous music.
No great work of art (or actually any work of art) here, but it does tell a story. After three days of being cooped up in the house with the flu, even a trip to Target seems like a grand adventure. I’m feeling so much better and by tomorrow hope to be pretty much mended. After that, I’ll start looking for some good pictures again. 
After three days, I’m finally starting to recover. This is one old acquaintance I won’t be sad to see the last of. However, being sick and slowly recovering at the end of the year really isn’t a bad thing. It gives you such great promise for the beginning of the new year that you can’t help but have hope for better things.
Of course, 2011 was for me a fabulous year so I just wish for continued luck in 2012.
So the flu has me knocked out for yet another day. When I’m not sleeping, I can count on the view above me to remain unchanged.
So I skipped the worst of a cold last week only to come down with a bad case of the flu this week. The worst of it is that this is the first year in many that I didn’t get a flu shot. I guess I tempted fate once too often.
So for now, I am spending my time sleeping between doses of medicine.
No real story here, I just liked how this portrait of my co-worker Gregory came out. The light in the office is really great for portraits.
