Dear Blog…
Once again, I have neglected you and for that I apologize. I have had days of nonstop activity followed by days of laziness and at neither point have I had the energy to come in here. 🙁
I am busy with work, with Fresh Photography stuff (including another Yale Street Market weekend that I had to miss but Christine managed it for us), with social events and editing of photographs (it takes many hours to edit over 1000 shots and I am still not done).
In general I am doing well although I ran into a tiny bout of depression last week – just fatigued I think and for whatever reason emotional. I hope I am over it.
Along happier lines, I am happy to report that my garden pond is finally in!!
Yes, such a simple thing as a small pond in the backyard has lifted my spirits. I still need to landscape the area around the pond, rearrange the potted plants, stock it with some fish and some plants but I actually have the upcoming weekend free to do so. Just having the weekend free of planned social events makes me happy. Don’t get me wrong – I am a social butterfly and thrive on getting out but I am enjoying it just as much just having friends over to our house. It’s all cyclical for me and I am sure I’ll get bored with it but for now, it’s a good way to relax at home and still get the social fix I need.
The dishes need to be done and things need to be tidied so I will end this entry here… Drop me a line to say hello so I know that someone is still out there reading this! LOL!
Manahattan Street Photography
Still uploading pictures into the NYC photo set… Hell’s Kitchen, Times Square & Brooklyn Bridge pictures are up, St. Patrick’s Cathedral photos being uploaded over the weekend, then Empire State Building, Central Park, Botanical Gardens, Staten Island Ferry and more… Below are a few of my “street photography”, a departure from my typical style of […]
What We Did in NYC
Photos are s-l-o-w-l-y going up over at Flickr… and I have started a NYC album. In the meantime, I am going to list, for my own reference, a list of everything we did & saw… So as to not take up too much space, I will use the extended entry option.
Busy, busy, busy x 3 + NYC!
Sorry for the loooong absence. I have been extremely busy and have had no time to breathe it seems! Kenny and I just got back from a 6-day trip to New York City (we flew back in last night) and before we left my schedule was full. I was busy with Fresh Photography (another Yale […]
Galveston, iFest, Tucson, March of Dimes…
Wow – I started a weekend re-cap post last week and it sat in “draft” mode all week. Now another weekend has gone by and I never got the chance to actually finish it and publish it! So instead of boring you with details, I will give a really, really fast recap of the past […]
Virginia Tech Commentary
This will probably be my only commentary on the Virginia Tech tragedy but I wanted to post it. Robert Siegel, an NPR host, gave this two minute commentary that completely hits the mark on an issue that has been on my mind as I have heard and read the enormous amount of articles on the […]
Picnic, Cirque & shopping…
Wow. Is it Wednesday already… heck, is it only Wednesday? This week seems to have been flown by but at times it seems to be going so slow. What have I been up to? Well, the weekend was busy. Saturday afternoon we attended my company’s annual picnic. It was fun despite the windy cold overcast […]
Do shrimp go to heaven?
Back during Christmas 2005 I received an Ecosphere from Kenny. It has sat at two desks with me and actually, most of the shrimp died earlier last year but there was one red shrimp left. I check on him every now and then, see how he was doing. I checked on him yesterday and unfortunately, […]
NYC in one month!
We leave for New York City in exactly 30 day!! We are going for 6 days, 5 nights and I can’t wait!!! Airfare and hotel are booked… We haven’t been on a vacation in ages and I didn’t expect to go on one this year but we could not resist the cheap airfare (and on […]
A fire in the firplace in April??
Brr… what a chilly Easter weekend!! No snow here in Houston but it was soggy and cold. It ruined the art festival on Saturday, that’s for sure… Friday night: Stayed in, finished getting ready for the Yale Street Arts Market the next day. Saturday: Despite the rainy, cold forecast, Christine and I were determined to […]
