The Original Sidney Penguin, Part 1

A friend of mine was checking out this site and asked "Where are YOUR pictures??" Well, duh. I hadn't even thought about that! (it really is amazing I make it out alive each day :) )

So, without further ado.....the Adventures of the Original Sidney Penguin:

We had a little time to kill over the summer.....and Sidney didn't want to be away from the rink too long. So I braved the ice for the first time since junior high (and let me tell you....junior high was just a few years ago....)

Where would Sidney be most at home? Well, an ice rink of course....

Sidney goes wherever I go...including my 20-year high school reunion over Labor Day. It was S.P.'s first trip to my hometown of Raymore, MO (just south of Kansas City). We had a fun time visiting my old stomping grounds:

I took Sidney to see my high school. Sorry, Sid, my school doesn't have a hockey team...

Unfortunately, I spend most of my time at work....but Sid doesn't mind so much hanging out with K.C. Wolf (Chiefs mascot) and my London Tower bear while I slave away for mere pittance...

Just hanging out at work. S.P. approves of my screensaver.

I don't get to travel as much as I would like, so my friend, Nancy, entertained Sidney by taking him on her trip to Boston. I dare say, she had more fun than I imagined!

Checking out historical sights. Education is so important, you know.

Where everybody knows your name! (though I'm not sure how the Boston-ites feel about the name "Sidney Crosby"...)

I dragged S.P. along to meet my beloved Dallas Stars at the downtown Hilton in Nashville. As his reward for being so patient with my love for my "other team", I got his picture in front of the beautiful Hall of Fame across the street:

Sidney thought that the piano keyboard shape of the Country Music Hall of Fame was cool

Sidney did his duty on election day and went and voted!

This is a rare moment when I can get Josey to stay still long enough for a posed photo

As you can see, Sid and I keep pretty busy! The next installment will include pictures from all our trips to Dallas within a three-month period (you know...the holidays and all :) )
