Happy Thankgiving from our family to yours.

"I like Rickrolling!"

Millions of viewers were Rickrolled today by Macys.

Up late.

I'm counting my blessings, which are many. I am very fortunate. Life is good.

Happy Thanksgiving.

As we give thanks.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This is the entire "Turkeys Away!" episode of WKRP in Cincinnati. It is a must see this time of year. In the past I have only posted a short clip, but came across this a few days ago.

Unfortunately, readers from outside North America won't be able to view this. If you are not in North America, head on over to my brother's place, where you can view a clip with the best parts of the show.

This is all kinds of awesome!

Another shot from the Palace of Versailles. I think I am about done with the photos from the trip. I'll take one last look and see if there is anything else worth posting.

So keep checking the Flickr set.

Another shot from Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris. I've added a few more to the Flickr set.

All of these have been post-processed in Adobe Lightroom 2. I downloaded a 30 day trial of it before we headed to France. I need to contact Adobe about doing a cross platform upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS4, now that we have made the switch to MacBooks.

I might buy Lightroom too, when I purchase the PS upgrade. It has taken some getting used to, but it has some nice features. But still lacks the more advances PS tools I like to use some times.

Last time I looked, though, Adobe was offering a discount on Lightroom when purchased with a PS upgrade, so I will probably take advantage of it.

Big Ass Balloon Dog in the Palace of Versailles

More art appreciation. Doesn't the balloon dog look like he is gazing at the painting?

This piece, by Jeff Koons, is called Balloon Dog (Magenta), and was one of about a dozen pieces by the artist on display throughout the Palace of Versailles.

The juxtaposition of these neo-pop pieces with the classical art of the palace was, to say the least, intriguing.

It turns out there are 5 Balloon Dog pieces, in different colors. I've been told that the red one is currently on display in Berlin.

I am still not done processing photos from our trip, but what I have done can be seen here.

This one's for my art appreciatin' brother.

I hope you had a great election day, and I hope you voted.

Our trip to Paris is winding down. We've had a pretty good trip, despite some cold and rainy weather. But I kind of wish we were already home, so we could follow the election returns.

We can't stay up all night to keep track of things, as Ali and the kids have to get up early to catch a train to La Rochelle. So learning the outcome will have to wait until our morning.

Have fun tonight, however you plan to spend it.
