Hot….. 29c today Long weekend means filling my tank cost $70 (yea yea, $4 a gallon in the states, I’m sure there are way worse off folks than me, but this is a car that at the end of last year was a $50 fill), and you know that just cause it’s up for the […]
No, not really. I did a shoot of “formals” for a friend’s daughter’s sweet 16 party. I detailed all the gory stuff over at my K20D blog. Definitely a lot of fun, in amidst the terror 🙂 Zoon is still either preggers or fat, if the former I hope she pops soon so I can
Yea, I know, long time no update…. seems that not much interesting is going on lately. However, on Saturday Dana was kind enough to invite me out to a poker night. The weather was half decent, so I left home a bit early and went out with the goal of taking some pictures of Mt.

After being out late last night and getting home and to bed 1am-ish, was woken up around dawn (6? 7?) by my UPS downstairs beeping. Guess the windy night knocked out the power. Got up, hit the button to shut it up, and then went back to bed. Then was woken up by a call
