The last pair!
In hot pink, what a find!
Ha ha, no not for me. ;-)

Dunkin' Mugs
Got one in each color: blue and orange.
Inside the mugs, there is a finger sign "V" (for victory) and it says "Be Awesome".
These oversized mugs are so happy and I can't wait to fill 'em up.
And they really do make me ready to "Wake Up" for a brand new day. ;-)

Theater And A Bagel
How can anything "awesome" not be good?
Flying V mixes it up with the arts and culture.
They combine theater with wrestling!
Essentially, this group tries to add adventure and combat to the more staid dramatic performances.
Anything that brings theater more alive is definitely a good thing.
We got to sit in on the event organizers doing a live podcast and could definitely see their enthusiasm for "Shakespeare and training" and becoming a success story.
Anyway, they did have some snacks at the event, and this colorful bagel was definitely the standout. ;-)

Most Amazing Sculpture
Let me explain why?
It looks like a bust of a woman with a fine fabric lace veil over hear head and face.
But believe it or not, the veil is part of the sculpture.
And her eyes are just shadows of it.
In other words, there is no veil or eyes.
The museum tour guide pulled out a flashlight and pointed it and her eyes and they were gone.
How any artist can have such a divine gift to make something like this is really beyond me.
All I can do is stare in complete marvel at this sculpture of a veil covering this woman's face. ;-)

Great Comic Characters
They are originals put together by the comic creator.
The characters are made from colored Perler Beads.
Once the beads are laid out into these awesome characters, they are iron-melted together.
Each of these was advertised for $20 (not the $15 listed at the top of the picture), but we got a deal.
Together as a set, they are very cool, colorful, and fun to liven up any environment.
I have them on a display at home and it's nice to not be so serious all the time, and instead let loose with some creative juice. ;-)

Awesome Northeast Fall Season
I love how it vividly captures the Fall colors, the falling leaves, and the changing seasons.
The bridge seems to magically span the lush green before with the orange and tan hues of the after all under a clear light blue sky.
The scene definitely looks like a cozy and happy time and place I want to be in. ;-)

Wine Bottle Extraordinaire
Apparently, a very talented lady in there makes these special bottles.
Unfortunately with the lighting, this picture does not near do them justice for how exquisite they looked.
They were in different colors of lacing, with beautiful beads, hamsas, and other decorations, as well as pictures of our honored sages, and their names in hebrew over the photos.
I asked facetiously one lady who was taking home a bottle whether she was going to drink it all that evening, and she pulled the bottle close to her and leaning in to me said, "This is going in my display case!"
And that truly is where these belong...they are amazing.
The wonderful lady that painstakingly makes these gave how many of them charitably so they could be auctioned for benefit of the synagogue.
Aside from a wonderful soul, this person is very talented and should seriously start a business with these because they are awesome! ;-)

Interned On The Aisle Of Man
He was interned during the war as a child with his mother in the Rushen Internment Camp on the Aisle of Man, a possession of Britain.
My father was only 12 years old, but already worked as a messenger for the camp Superintendent.
Here is probably one of his first letters of recommendation for a job very well done.
"On His Majesty's Service"
How incredibly awesome for a child during World War II and the Holocaust.
Love you Dad!

A WOW Wheelchair
Brad Soden makes these amazing ruggedized wheelchairs for wounded veterans and other disabled people in need of getting around some rougher terrain.
They are customized for each user and cost about $15,000 each.
They are built on tank-like treads and can go up stairs, through fields, across streams, and over snow.
"Basically, it's get off the couch and go enjoy life!"
They are tough and can last 15-20 years!
He first made one for his wife who was paralyzed from the waist down in a car accident and was having difficulty keeping up on a family camping trip.
Soden is truly inspirational--he produces these not too make money, but too help people.
"The body can't keep up, so we're gonna fix it."
This is an awesome man making an extreme machine. ;-)

The Tron Cycle
Decked out to look like the cycle in Tron.
Green neon lights under the wheels and engine made this a true sight to see.
When it zoomed down the street, it was really like a science fiction vehicle.
Awesome sight tonight. ;-)

Death Biking
I have seen people run the trail--crazy enough--and I always imagine someone falling on the sharp rocks and basically splitting their head open.
But this guy--and 2 more of his buddies followed--were actually mountain biking over these rocks.
I have no clue how they do it--although going down must be easier than going up.
When those wheels hit the rocks, you are taking your life in your hands that the bike doesn't just smash into it and flip right over.
By the time, the 3rd guy was flying past, I saw that he had his butt raised off the bumpy ride and was sort of standing on the pedals trying to keep this thing from going down.
It is amazing to me the crazy, risky things that people do.
Is it for the thrill, the challenge, just to be cool, or what?
I can definitely see how you could get an adrenaline high from this, but it could just be the last fun you ever get.
Anyway, awesome ride for those that can stomach it. ;-)

Beach In All Its Beautiful Colors
I took this photo of a picture in Fort Lauderdale Airport.
The colors are stunning to me--the blue sky, the turquoise water, the white sand, the green palm trees, the dark blue beach umbrellas, the white wall, the pink sidewalk, and the off white road--and don't forget the dude walking in the orange trunks.
What an amazing, happy place--this picture captures it for me.
Hope you enjoy it. ;-)
