  • A Sweet Gift for a Sweet Neighbor

    Our neighbor Elva stopped by just now on her way to the hospital to get a pacemaker, and she showed me this little angel that our mail carrier gave her. It came with a card that said, “A guardian angel to watch over you during your procedure today.” Isn’t that the sweetest thing? Elva wanted me to show it to Andy. Well, I’ll go a step further and show it to the world and ask everyone who sees this to say a prayer for our beautiful neighbor Elva today.

  • Andy and me having fun on Creek Street, Ketchikan, AK

    Andy shot this video while we we enjoying our time in Ketchikan, AK on the Alaskan cruise we took in June. Here, he shows the Creek flowing under Creek Street and we have fun discussing the bawdy history of Dolly’s.

  • Singing “Our Love Is Here to Stay”

    On our Alaskan cruise in June, the ship held a talent show/contest. (more…)

  • Strange but true: J.J. loves to lick master’s wet legs after a shower.

    Yes, we don’t know how it happened or why it happened — there’s water in his water bowl! — but our J.J. has gotten into the habit of licking our wet legs after we shower. Heck, he even sticks his snout into the shower while we’re in it and licks the bathtub. But when either of us steps out of the shower — or even while we stand in it and dry off — he licks the water off our legs. Now, I know there are bound to be some people who think we shouldn’t let him do this, but we think it’s harmless and sweet.

  • Grand Opening of Harkins Christown 14

    I read on the Harkins Theatres web site that they would be holding a ribbon-cutting ceremony to mark the grand opening of the Christown 14 theatres at 11:15 this morning. I got there just a couple of minutes late, but they had done the ceremony at around 10 because people had been lining up around the building and waiting since 6.

    I had an interesting experience as I ran up to the theatre from my car with my camera: a young woman walked by and quickly asked, “Newspaper?” I said, “No,” and she said, “Just for your own enjoyment, then,” and walked to her car. She was wearing a backpack, and it made me wonder whether she were a journalist, and why she wanted to know. I just wanted to get a photo, and didn’t want to take the time to explain that I was a blogger of sorts, and although I wasn’t exactly “Newspaper,” I wasn’t just doing this for my own enjoyment, either. I saw this as an opportunity to take my new lens and battery grip out for a shoot and gain some “event photography” experience in the meantime.

    Anyway, I get excited about urban renewal, cinema, theater, and architecture, so I enjoyed getting there and taking this photo even if I didn’t catch a ribbon-cutting and had to run off to work right after snapping a couple of shots.

    I’m glad I looked professional enough to be mistaken for a newspaper photographer, though! 😉
