Raptor Dance

Anyone who knows us knows that Bill is very fond of ducks.  When he was growing up on the farm he had a pet duck and it's not clear who imprinted who.

One of our favorite behaviours is done by ducks when they are done preening their feathers.  It's the trademark of a very happy duck.

We hope it gives you a smile

We went to The Great Handcar Regatta 2009 On Sept 27 & 28th, 2009.

Mary and I had a great time!

Here are some excerpts. -- Got a new Kodak Zx1 HD Camcorder for $99 from Newegg and works great, except for no image stabilization (I'll work on it in the future).

November 22, 2007 - Mexican Masked Wrestling. Fantastically entertaining. We're not sports fans but love it. Featuring Mistico, the local hero in this area (Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco).

Back in July of 2007 we both auditioned for the Food Network program: Who Will Be The Next Food Network Star.  Here is Bill's audition video.

We never heard a word back, but our friends who are also into the show reported that we would have done as well or better than the folks who were picked and the person who won.

Original submission text: Bill Finkelstein - You're next Food Network Star! - Life is too short to eat wimpy food! - I will teach the home chef how to have fun cooking impressive, easy to prepare dishes. Using my energy plus my teaching, speaking and cooking skills, I’ll show how to achieve flavors that are bold yet balanced, not overwhelming or too spicy.
