That’s me on the left. On the right is my friend, Alissa, who teaches across the hall from me. She’s a Goth Chick, and I’m dressed as Anathema Device from the book Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch. It cracks me up to see Alissa as a Goth, because she’s so … not goth. She’s so un-gothlike that the Vice Principal had to do her eyeliner for her — it just wasn’t thick enough!
This photo is from the I-77 Midget League Championship Playoffs yesterday at Ripley High School field. The B-team Roane County Raiders played against the Wirt County Tigers. The Raiders held onto the lead until the 4th quarter, but unfortunately, the Tigers got lucky, and beat the Raiders 8-6. Too bad!
It was still an excellent season. The Raiders ought to be proud of themselves for remaining undefeated until the very end. Good job, boys (and coaches!)
Taken on “Cemetary Hill,” Spencer WV. I live in a little cul-de-sac just behind these trees. (You can see the power lines if you look closely.)
This is a close-up of some beautiful carved stone on the Masonic Temple in Charleston WV, which is now home to the Charleston Ballet. I love this building. It looks like a huge wedding cake, with all the gorgeous carved stone features all over the building like icing flowers on a cake.
This little guy is tucked between some bricks and concrete between two buildings on Capitol Street in Charleston, WV. Do you know where to find him?
Apparently, he was lost for a while. Some renovations were being made to the building and a worker chiseled him out and took him home. So many people complained that the worker brought him back and put him in his rightful place, peeking out over all the busy people walking around below on Capitol Street.
Art makes life so much more interesting. You might have passed the Mortar Man a million times and not have even noticed, but once you know he’s there, your daily walk to get coffee seems a little more magical.
