Now I have to find the time to sit down and actually do the redesign. The idea is that by posting this, I have to hold myself accountable to it. We’ll see how well it works.

You can google the actual event and read the history. I tried to mostly stay away from just taking pictures of wacky people, so I focused on wacky animals and their people instead....

Apr 12, 2013 • It’s nice to see you again too. You are so beautiful, mountains. I’m happy that after two years apart, you were only shy for a few days before letting me see you again. I’ve missed you. Why don’t we do something on Sunday? I hear the weather is supposed to be very nice. I would love to go...

Mar 30, 2013 • Spring is pushed a month early here, so it should have been March showers for April flowers, but there has not been enough rain. I’ll wait another week, but things are getting desperate in terms of wildflowers. I might just be walking down the highway medians, because that’s where all the best flowers appear to be. This is...

Mar 25, 2013 • Counting shorts, I managed to see 41 movies in 8 days. Of course, looking back at the screening list, there are so many more that I wish I had seen. However, in those days I could sit no more, nor absorb more visual input. It was great and very intense. Only a bit of movie commentary/review. I’m using a variety of rating...

Perfect for new photo projects. We did some baking today — after I did my yoga and sent out a couple of cover letters and resumés, of course. You...

Mar 12, 2013 • I’m taking a short break from reality to take advantage of SXSW being in town. Since it is spring break, I have a partner in crime who doesn’t have to work, since she teaches, and is the perfect movie-going companion for an unemployed gal. The program of movies alone is overwhelming, and that doesn’t even count the general...
