My wife is leaving the country today for a couple of weeks.

It doesn't matter how you get there does it?

It's all about the image, right?

reenergizing

A day completely out of the ordinary. And I'm realizing there has been no good reason to stay in my routine. I think I'll go out shooting later. Wow.

Now that I've looked at this a while, I really did WAY too much burning of the midtones on Lily's face.

Harold

This is Harold. Or what's left of Harold. He was Lily's "first snowman I ever built". She wanted me to take a picture of him even after he was gone. I feel like Harold today.

Tonight's performance has been canceled.

I have a cold today

Clarity

Like, big time this morning. Wow.

My girls' school has a "pancake breakfast" every December. And the school's head custodian is also a professional Elvis impersonator. So of course he (and Santa) performed at the breakfast.

Another picture of someone taking a picture.

Autumn and Lily make us save these pull tabs to recycle and they accumulate on the kitchen window sill. Since we have so few of them, I thought it was silly - until I went to the kid's church the other day and saw a huge fish tank almost filled with the things.

There was something profound that I was going to say about this, how it related to something on a higher level or larger scale, but I forget what it was.

I should probably clean that window sill some time.
