mens room, eaton hall, geneva

That’s a good looking urinal. What are you going to do next month when I stop posting?

mens room, first united methodist church, geneva

So, I was in the bowels of the methodist church looking for the director of the community lunch program. I was interviewing her for the next issue of geneva13. I came across this bathroom and had to use it and document it because I like the handrails. Also, ten minutes into the interview she gets a call informing her that she must cease the interview because she is not authorized to talk to anyone in an official capacity. Also, the website for the church is “powered by E-zekelia.” I think that is funny.

mens room, basement of coxe hall, geneva

I tried to figure out how I could get the ‘dream big, poop bigger’ graffiti written in the stall, but could never get the right angle.

mens locker room, ymca, geneva

There is a big note going in the locker room asking people to turn off their cell phones for their ’safety’ and the ’safety’ of others. I’m not quite sure I understand the ’safety’ issue. Not only did I not turn off my phone, I used it to take this photo. I’m a loner Dottie, a rebel… (a Get Up Kids reference that nobody but me will get)

mens room, third floor, stern hall, geneva

Turns out, the restrooms are identical on all three floors of this building. So much for creativity and variety.

mens room, movieplex 8, geneva

Anna and I went to the movies last night to watch ‘The Fantastic Mr Fox.” It was OK. In fact, I think I enjoyed it more than Anna did. Probably because this is the first movie I’ve seen in the theater in over a year. I think I’ve seen three in the last five years. Seriously.

restroom, magnolias, rochester

This is my favorite lunch place around. When we first came for lunch here four years ago, Barrow was a little older than one. She wolfed down half of my sandwich — it was an early test of my love for her that I let her have it.

mens room, old toad pub, rochester

We did our annual Thanksgiving overnight to Rochester. We had a delicious lunch at the Ethiopian restaurant, a great visit to the Museum of Play, and a decent meal at the Old Toad Pub. The Old Toad is a UK -style pub featuring real ales, pub fare, and wait staff imported from the UK. We got veggie versions of Sheppards Pie and Bangers & Mash. Not as good as the veggie versions at Monster Mash in Edinburgh, but it’ll do.

Happy American Thanksgiving.

mens room, bed bath & beyond, canandaigua

You’d hope a store dedicated to bathroom decor — like Bed Bath & Beyond — would have something more interesting than your usual industrial toilet and tiles. Not even a tasteful caddy for the scrub brush on the floor. Pfffft.
