Tour of the Rochester Subway Tunnels!

On Friday, July 1 we will be taking a tour of the abandoned Rochester subway tunnels.  The tour will be led by Tom Hack, a structural engineer with the City of Rochester.  The tour will be from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.  I will drive you back to your apartments following the tour.  Here are the guidelines he sent me:
- flashlights required (I will provide)
- no open-toe shoes
- good walking shoes required (sneakers are acceptable)
- dress for the weather:  tour is rain or shine
- tour is about 1-2 miles in length!

Please bring your cameras!  Remember, the ALI has requested that your blog posts for this trip be added to the Nazareth/ALI web site.  Kathy will work with us on this!

Rochester Subway Token - not required for this trip!

Thank you!

For the Class Artists - Something Cool to Try!!

 I just found a new website that allows you to create your own paintings and then save them to a URL.  You can also add text to your paintings.  For the creative ones in the group (hint:  those who love to draw snakes and birthday gifts and other drawings on their quizzes, homework, and erase boards!) this might be a fun way to create an interesting link to your blog.  Check out the site and see what you can do!

The site is EXTREMELY easy to use!

Here's my attempt!  http://artpad.art.com/?lnacfs1lmur4

 

Let The Games Begin!

The Second FREE RICE Tournament began today and will consist of six rounds of play.
Scores as of the end of Round 1 today are as follows:
Cake Taker                          20 
Wing It                                 90

Will cake taker take back his cake?  Will Rock n' Roll roll over the competition?  Or will Wing It wing it all the way to victory?

FREE RICE UPDATE: Cake Taker's performance takes the cake!

In a stunning performance on Thursday, Cake Taker moved to the lead position.   Rumors are that members of  Wing It have been heard to say that Cake Taker's advantage is "hanging by a thread."
