Stuff i found on the beach

Lake Erie, Cleveland, Ohio. Curtis, Cassie, and Nancy.



A box of fireworks, mostly spent.







An American flag.



A brick.



My dream house.

Nemastil family photos

Late night in Gates Mills. This is the house the 7 Nemastils grew up in, and this is the woman who raised them.



I think uncle Hiram looks like Brando.



Maggie has anger management issues.



And so ended the Day of Too Much Beer.

Bowling, finally

Ok, so it took a little while to continue the photos from the Cleveland trip, but here we go. I'm uploading photos from our visit here, though at the moment there are only photos from bowling. Most of them look exactly like these, so take a look if you want to see ones of you. For Lou and Erin, I have videos of you bowling that I'm going to try to figure out how to get online somewhere.

West side until i perish

I am a big fan of public markets. Whether they be butchers, bakeries, food stands, farmers' markets, or art fairs, I love the concept of a small group of specialized artisans exhibiting their (sometimes remarkably tasty) wares. I must be white.



As you might hasten to tell me then, West Side Market in Cleveland is a location I should check out! Well thank you for suggesting it, but I've already had the pleasure.



It has some great art deco architecture, and a great open hall. They sell meat there.



Lots and lots of meat!



They also have a balcony, which offers a photo-op almost exactly the same as the one in the wikipedia article I linked to.



Erin got a crepe with bananas and peanut butter. They also have baked goods! Unfortunately some of the bakers are liars.



This guy was nice though. He sold me a scrumptious loaf of sesame semolina bread. I ate the whole thing by the time the trip was over.



This was a hunger-inducing experience. It reminds me of Quincy Market in Boston, except the food is not cooked. I wish we had a place like this near our home, so we could actually make use of all the great un-prepared stock on sale. As it is though, we had a great time, and I got some great pictures.

Tomorrow: Bowling!

Domicile of anthony and mary beth

Cleveland this last weekend was a blast! I have dozens of photographs that I'm in the process of cleaning up and post-processing, so look for those all week, starting today.

First of all, many many thanks to Anthony and Mary Beth for welcoming us into their beautiful home and putting up with us stumbling back at all hours of the night (probably much noisier than we intended- more on that later). Just know that it was greatly appreciated, and if we ever get the chance to return the favor we won't hesitate!

We left on Friday with Cassie and Curtis after work, and arrived at the house in Euclid (half a block from Lake Erie) at around 11:30 PM. They have such a wonderful home!



It felt very much like the houses I'd known as a child in Rosedale Park, our neighborhood in Detroit. There is just something delightfully comfortable about it for me.



I actually caught Erin in a real smile! This is how she looks at me when I'm not upsetting her.



This looks like a Motto; Joseph Motto was a sculptor in the family during the art deco period. I love his work!



This is a dark photo, but I liked the mood. Exploring a new house at night is a more intimate experience than it is during the day.



One more image that I liked. Sorry for the high ISO, I was too tired to get out the tripod.



Tomorrow: West Side Market!
