After a long hard day at work, I met Ron at the Town of Colonie town hall for a ceremony honoring employees, volunteers and citizens who served in response teams at the World Trade Center. It was a short and sweet affair with a goodly turn out of folks from the rescue team that Ron is part of, as well as people in the EMS and fire departments in town. I took a few photos and posted them here.

I put in two photos of the group shot taken afterwards. I was standing off to one side while the “official” photographer was more in the center. When I got home I realized that there’s one person who’s just about out of view. The reason I put two of the same grouping is because I find that with group shots, there’s a lot going on and it’s interesting to see the different expressions etc.

Anyway, I was glad they had this ceremony and was glad to attend with Ron.

We decided not to hang out and hob nob, instead opting for mexican food. A nice evening after a sort of cranky day.

I forgot to post that yesterday just as I pulled into the crossgates mall parking lot the sun popped out and I looked up to see a full arc rainbow. I stayed outside as long as I could to admire it. Couldn’t help notice all the too-young, mostly Old Navy employees, out having a “break” smoking like chimneys, backs to the rainbow and totally oblivious of either it or the nice bit of sunrise going on above them.
