Hi there! My name is Gary Cope. Nice to meet you. I’ve heard a lot about “Project 365” and have seen some friends try their hand at it. So, I’ve decided to give it a shot. Here’s hoping I can manage to keep pace with the grueling photo-a-day pace. Will you follow me on my year-long journey?Tumblr (3.0; @garycope365)http://garycope.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0p3nnVLdo1qhqgi7o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>(365/365 - Feb. 22, 2012) The Boy sound asleep with his guardian animals.

He got some marbles, too, and he loves to play with those. But his favorite recent gift (Valentine’s Day) was a pack of flash cards with all 50 states and D.C. on them. He goes through each one and reads off all the key details.
