Photography on my mind
It is around this time of year that I start thinking about doing something for an entire year. A picture a day seems to be the highest on my list, but it can also be a little time consuming. I paused my writing to waste time looking at cameras. I came back to writing on… — read more

I’ve been lazy about writing. Truth be told, I’ve felt lazy about everything lately. I need to focus on eliminating unnecessary distractions from my life. Historically, social media has been a huge time suck for me but I’ve been mostly good about staying off of it these last few years. Occasionally, however, I stray. So… — read more

Fail and try again…
There are times or circumstances where I feel that I am being tested. It’s hard to notice in the moment, but easy to see in retrospect.

Thanksgiving
We had been prepping for this day for a while now. I think we all wanted a sort of redemption for the horrible holiday season of last year.

Just like last time, I have had zero symptoms or side effects from the vaccine. Later in the day we drove up… — read more

Thinking of Christmas
The unthinkable happened. I requested six days of paid time off at once. I have so much paid time off accumulated that I was told I could no longer accumulate more and would need to start taking off or lose out on my PTO. So I am taking next Monday off to decorate my parents… — read more

Time to write again
It’s been a while since I’ve written on here. Nearly a month! I don’t think I’ve gone this long without writing on here in well over a year and the interesting thing is that I felt perfectly fine not writing. I think a lot of it has to do with the move into the new… — read more

The end of Summer at the Hollywood Bowl
This concert a few nights ago was the final LA Phil concert at the Hollywood Bowl for the season. Summer is now officially over. I picked the wrong night to forget my jacket as it was by far the chilliest night at the Hollywood Bowl that I ever remember experiencing. I was surprised and delighted… — read more
