Postcard from Rochester NY

So here are a few photos from my walkabout around Rochester this (rather gloomy) afternoon ... here's a cool old building near our hotel downtown -- love the art deco:
.

.
And I loved this sign ... how "Anywere U.S.A." is "the corner of State Street & Main Street?
.

Here's a seagull on the bridge across the river that runs through the city ... a river through a city with WATER in it ... how NOT "L.A." is that????

So after I wandered around Rochester I wandered around the internet. Mostly I caught up on work emails and got ducks in a row for tomorrow's meetings. But I did do a little blog surfing ... and these were the most interesting things I saw in my wanderings:

.

Louie Crew & Brian Cox are teaming up to raise money for the Anglican Listening Process. (Kind of like Bush Sr. & Clinton raising money for humanitarian relief!)

.

Today is NATIONAL COMING OUT DAY and the Human Rights Campaign has some great resources and cool videos online ... check 'em out!

.

And my new favorite blog is Geekpriest -- where great photos offer a restful respite from the details of life. Brava!

.

Board Meeting tomorrow ... not much else to report from Rochester at this point. More as it happens.

P.S. -- Got a call from Jamie while I was posting this ... in the process of heading home from Iraq he was in MAINE so he's officially "stateside" ... Woo Hoo!
