My World Tuesday; Leaving the office

The vein of my existence, inclement weather commuting in what I affectionately call the "C-bus". As far as winter driving goes, I hail from Cleveland where I learned to drive in a 1975 Monte Carlo in January. So I do know how to drive in this weather. Heck, I only drive rear-wheel drive cars in the snow, and quite well I might add. That said, the folks here in Columbus have NO CLUE how to negotiate wet, snowy or cold roads. I was able to get the pics with my Blackberry, SAFELY, because we were only traveling at a top speed of 30MPH.

Enjoy!

Winter Storm Warning......

The experts warned us of the coming storm, and it arrived. Photos 1, 2 & 3 were taken around 5:30pm once I got home from work today. Photos 4, 5 & 6 were captured with my Blackberry at 1:30 this afternoon at work. Hilliard is about 20 miles north of my home here in Obetz. North Columbus is definitely getting hit a little harder.

My World Tuesday; Obetz Winter Wonderland

We had the first snow of this winter season on Friday night. It was so beautiful as we drove through Obetz on our way home, I had to go back and take some photos. Enjoy!

My World Tuesday; Last of the rose buds

I was able to capture the last of my tea rose buds. The weather in Columbus is getting colder and it looks like we may get some snow soon. I used my Olympus on the nature macro setting.

My World Tuesday; Halloween Hockey Game

Christopher’s ready for the game in his Vintage 1985 Mario Lemieux jersey.

Game attendance was a record 19,000+ with 40% Pittsburgh fans. From our Terrace Club Table seats, Christopher covertly hangs his 2009 Stanley Cup rally towel. A game 3 Stanley Cup give-away that Nick and Christopher attended in Pittsburgh this past June.

His team is down 3 to 1 at the beginning of the third period.

Feeling much better once the Penguins scored 2 goals to tie the game.

After a five minute overtime period followed by a shootout, the Penguins WIN!

The night before Halloween in Columbus brought out Fred Flintstone, a She-Devil and a biker chick to High Street.

Here we see a Penguin fan dressed as......a penguin!

One of the Hanson brothers made his way to Nationwide Arena for the game.

On Friday our son Christopher and his girlfriend accompanied Nick and I to the Pittsburgh Penguins verses Columbus Blue Jackets hockey game. Christopher has been a Penguins fan since he was about 6 years old when the Lumberjacks (Penguins farm team) moved to Cleveland. Hailing from NHL-less Cleveland left him with no real options except to cheer for Pittsburgh.
