Palindrome

Today on my way to work, I happened to notice that my mileage hit 18081 – a nice palindrome. I began to think – this seems to happen almost every one hundred miles or so. For example, my next palindrome will be 18281 followed by 18381, 18481, etc. There are hiccups when you switch to [...]

More Photography

Today, Laura and I drove out to Richmond to take pictures of our friends’ daughter’s birthday party. It was our first “official” birthday party gig that we were asked to take pictures at – and we even brought some business cards so that the other parents could order prints of the pictures. I don’t expect [...]

Wedding Practice

Today we practiced shooting our first wedding. We are not the “main” photographers, but we will be doing most of the shooting as the photographer is part of the wedding party. It looks to be quite an educational experience as well as fun and rewarding in all kinds of ways. We have already learned a [...]

Great Weekend?

Did you have a good weekend? We did. We had a great visit with our friends Rob and Mel and their children. Sure, I’m still tired from last week’s work stress, but I think I got a little rest.
Next weekend will be even better – Laura and I will get to assist at a wedding [...]

I will say that not all is bad: [...]

Mondays

Mondays are always hard. I think the weekend should be 3 days long every time. I just can’t seem to get the focus I usually can get mid-week. It took me a bit today, but I eventually got going and working. It’s just harder on Mondays.
At least the weather is great for riding.

I Must Be Busy

Or something… I just can’t think of much to say in my blog here. Of course, there is stuff going on in my life and work, but much of it I cannot post. Maybe the heat has been slowing down my brain and thereby eliminating my drive to blog. Or: maybe I’m just busy.

We're Havin' A Heat Wave

It’s supposed to get into tripple-digit temperatures here in the DC area today and maybe tomorrow as well. Everyone here is really moaning like no one has ever seen this kind of heat before – except for the last time it happened in 2002, or the time before that, or… Well, you get the idea. [...]
