*At the opening reception (I won!!) the other day, John, this guy I hang with (only one under 65) at the meetings asked me if I had done any shooting lately. I told John that the award winning photos had been taken in early September. John went on to tell me that he had just taken two days off from work, packed up his gear and spent four full days (weekend included) camping and photographing in Vermont. That settles it! I want a wife!!
*I spent about 5 hours on the phone the past few days with some very nice young ladies in tech support from the place where I am trying to order some photo cards from. I had to say "I'm really sorry, I am incompetent with (any number of things)" about a million times, until I finally gave up what I was trying to do and did my cards the way I didn't exactly want them. In my dream world I can hire someone to do all the techie stuff for me. Maybe the wife can be a computer whiz too.
*And finally, I'll part with these thoughts:
How I know the holiday season is upon us:
4. I tossed NINE catalogs straight into the recycle bin within 3 minutes of getting the mail today.
3. Jacked up advertising aimed towards kids.
2. Holiday display up in local drug store.
and most of all:
1. St@rbucks changed to the red cups
In Jackson Heights, Queens they have snowflakes and x-mas trees and stars up in lights over the streets btween lampposts. ALREADY. It's not even Thanksgiving. It's still Autumn. There is Chanukah candy, candy canes, and all kinds of X-mas chocolate in the DuaneReades, RiteAids and CVS's in the City. I've seen X-mas cookies in Walgreens. X-mas cookies!!! Won't they be stale by X-mas time? Have I mentioned it's not even Thanksgiving??? The holiday candy started showing up right after Halloween! Geez- all this is going to start in September or August next year!
