A Waterfowl Wedding...

Anywho, there was a wonderful shindig this last weekend out in Lewiston for the celebration of Mike and Joe'l.

We had a swell time...here are some of the highlights.

Lisa and Mikey...post-wedding pre-reception

Dr. Anna and I at the same moment on the opposite end f the camera

Baby G thought it was really bright in church

Mikey made sure he got all the sugar off the glass

So did Greg...

Mike and I have a strange obsession with seeing what sort of things we can suck up our noses

This is a result of the wierd Vodka olive juice drink Greg fashioned

Let's not forget Annie's life like interpretation of the chairs at the reception

Congrats Goose and Joe'l as you can see we had a blast!!!!!

A little birdy told me...

This made my day! See y'all this weekend!!!!

Who woulda thunk?

Craziness!!!! Good call on their part is all i have to say! Look at the winning bid.

Take that X-Files!

Our colleagues in California, IBRRC, have come across something very interesting....

Looks like a normal x-ray of a duck...right...Take a closer look...just for funsies....see anything in his abdomin?

Let me help you out a bit.....

Mulder...Scully!!!! Get on it!!!

Take a gander at what they are doing with this x-ray...and how much they will profit from it. It's absolutly incredible what people will do these days. Good for them...talk about a hefty donation.

"Reunited....and it feels so good"

YAY!!!! Apparently the saying is correct. True love will prevail. Watch the video on the right hand side if your not in the mood to read it.

Who knew!?!?!?! We sure as hell didn't!

Done and done

So we have finally come to an end with the story of Martha the eagle. She was released last week by our vet Dr. Miller and it went really well. The Washington Post did a small piece on her capture and release. It's an interesting viseo to watch. The beginning is poor injured Martha being pulled out of the water after she tumbled to the ground after having the crap being beat out of her and the last part is Dr. Miller releasing her back into the wild. Watch closely when Dr. Miller is about to open the cage. Martha jumps and literally scares the ba-jesus out of poor Dr. Miller. It's priceless. I don't blame her for jumping...Martha is a big strong girl!!!

Enjoy!!!

Stop sleeping with your chickens!

I know i've talked about the damn bird flu before, but now that ABC put out that stupid ass movie about the bird influenza pandemic there are some new information links that are helpful. I apologize if you saw the ABC movie last night. That is an absolute WORST case scenario. We are trying to stay very on top of the media here at Tri-State and now this movie is going to just make our job that much harder. Don't be afraid to help injured birds. The threat to humans isn't here yet. I feel there are going to be a lot of birds that are going to suffer this year because the media has really scared the public about avian flu. Here is a SUPER helpful link about bird flu. Look at it, read it, believe it. Ino ino....saving injured birds is not on the top of your to do list these days, but don't ignore them on the premis of the flu. If you choose not to save an injured bird the only excuses i will accept are you don't like them or you are afraid of them. :)

Ps try to hate these goslings...just try!!!!

1 ticket for the uh..em..uh "Town" show :)

I had a whirlwind of a weekend this week. I traveled to my homeland of Buffalo, NY for a few very specific reasons. I had a wedding shower to attend and I had a pregnant sister that i NEEDED to see. I barely had enough time to fit in meals and showers but i did find time to attend Musicalfare's latest production. This wonderful little show is titled Urinetown. Yes you read correctly...the word "urine" is in the title.

I didn't know much about the show. I was familiar with the soundtrack but that didn't give me the whole picture. The premis is about a town with a diminishing water table and everyone has to pay to pee. Yep pee. Now for those of you who know me this show it RIGHT up my ally of comedy. Something I didn't realize about this show is that it is also a parody about musicals. Which in my opinion is brilliant.

Anywho, i'm not going to give away the ending or anything but it was hilarious. Now, I am slightly biased because i knew 98% of the cast. Even if i didn't know these folks it would have been just as enjoyable. But I do have to say it was a little added bonus that my close friends were on the stage making me laugh my face off. I was a proper audience member and used my big girl laugh and made sure my presence was known. I was slightly upstaged by my mother, who you should know has a volume control issue. But it's all good, she was politely named the "other" laugher in the audience by the cast. Very funny!

Kudos to the entire cast and crew. Between the set, music, acting, singing, lighting etc etc, i was thoroughly entertained and couldn't ask for anything more in a show. Thanks for a wonderful show guys and enjoy your last week of production.

Sorry kids this weekend is the closing weekend, and i suggest calling in for tickets immediatly cause i think they already are 99% sold out. But don't be discouraged...call anyway!

Some photos of the show i stole from the musicalfare webpage...ENJOY!!

Lisa scolding poor Doug...a sweet old man who just has to pee!!!

Bethany "listening" to Chris' heart

Tom looks like he's going to kiss Chris

Michele "my bell" looking like she's about to sneeze

Doug you scared me during the show...you play a good bad ass!

Who doesn't love a good shot of marc's butt.....MARCO!?!?!

Mean snapping...love it

A very touching moment at the end where Michele is like Whoopi Godlberg in "Ghost" and speaks Chris' last words to everyone....brillliant!

Spittin' image

This is me chillin out with my pig on the water watching the ducks. It's a slow day at work...what are ya gonna do? How about create the cartoon version of you! Fun and games!

I'm thinkin i need this

Look like chapstick...doesn't it? Damn your smart! My wonderful friend Charlie send this link to me yesterday telling me he saw it in walgreens and thought of me. Thanks Charlie!!!

I think i might need to purchase me some, it's a little too good to be true.

PS look at the disclaimer at the bottom of the website Charlie sent me. It's a good thing they cleared that up...i was concerned, as i know you all were too!

The future of Brokeback Mountain

I'm really not even that surprised....and damn it makes me laugh.

Finally!!!!

I know it's hard to believe but i get distracted VERY easily. I LURVE (as esther would say) my job! I really do, but sometimes sitting at my desk is just a little too much for me. I have become determined to find good online radio. I have had suggestions from some and they have all been stellar choices, but i still have not found the one that suits all my music needs. Well folks...stop the presses I have found it. I came across Accuradio. It has a gagillion channels of all different flavors and styles. Who needs satellite radio when there is free online radio!!!!! So for all you desk workers who just can't stand the clickity click of the keyboard as your daily symphony, i recommend accuradio it's much more pleasant.
