Photos of Oscar

My friend Dan from work is a budding pet photographer...he took some nice pics of Oscar recently.

Like Ike? Big wind storm hits the hood hard...

Hello all,

It's been a while. I've recovered from the wonderful but short trip to Boston and it's back to fall activities at the Red House. Soccer season is in full swing, Scout & Ethan have both moved up a league this year and are getting acclimated to the bigger fields and bigger kids. Saturdays mornings & early afternoons are devoted to their games and then our tradition is to watch the OSU football game with Joe & Trudy across the street on their HD 52 inch plasma - it's like sitting in the stands except Trudy has better snacks.

The big news is the wind storm that hit us on Sunday the 13th, remnants of hurricane Ike. We lost power on Sunday afternoon and didn't get it back until Tuesday afternoon. It was quite the adventure. Some folks waited almost a week for power to be restored. The NWS noted 70 mph winds which knocked down numerous big trees in the neighborhood. Check out some of these pics:
