Scottish

If you know that quote your probably over 35, or watch a lot of SNL reruns. I believe Mike Myers says that in one of the skits, “If it isn’t Scottish, it’s crap! “.

I don’t really mean to offend all my Norwegian cousinsĀ  – I am half Norwegian after all, and only 1/4 or 1/3 Scottish. The thing is, there are not very many Norwegian festivals, not to mention pubs. In Colorado there are any number of Irish/Scottish/Celtic festival throughout the summer featuring everything from young dancers to trebuchets. Not so for the Norwegians, I guess there is just not enough of a concentration. Perhaps in Minnesota I could find a big Norway fest, but not Colorado.

As a side note, here on the East Coast you don’t see combined Irish/Scottish festivals – they don’t appear to mingle that much. I could probably get beat up in an Irish bar. We will see…

Anvil Graphics at the Pines Building

This is the office for my graphic design business while in Greeley. It features a relaxed seating area, 4 work stations, a medium format proofing printer, two smaller printers, a storage room, and several of my sculptures on display.

Hayden Pass Motorcycle Trip

Brother Mike and I had a really excellent day of cycling near Cotapaxi, CO last fall. It was a gorgeous day and we had no mechanical problems. I was so sore the following days, could barely walk. We ended up buying a new camera because of the focus problems evident in some of these photos.
