Road Trip

On the road again, tooling through Maine. Gas stations and rest areas galore.

No Change

Daily writing prompt

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

I don’t have such arrogant views about this silly little blog. No, this is not meant to change the world in any way imaginable. This blog exists so that I can send secret messages to my wife, and so that at some point in the future I can ask myself, what was I doing on August 11, 2023 and then actually look up the answer.

That’s it. I am not out to change the world. I am not out to make money. I am just doing this because I think blogging is fun. That’s it, gentle readers. This doesn’t mean anything more than that.

Off to an Exciting Start

Well, the four day weekend is off to a fun and exciting start, he said sarcastically.

I’m having myself a minor migraine. Isn’t that a treat? It’s not too bad but it is wiping me out a bit. I still need to clean out the car a bit, and I still need to put the clothes I put out for the weekend into a suitcase. Other than that and maybe putting my laptop and some various Apple product chargers into a backpack I think I am all set.

Hopefully I will be able to get some quality sleep tonight. Fingers crossed.

Happy four day weekend, everyone!

Attention

Someone wanted some attention tonight. I was happy to provide some.

Four Day Weekend

3.5 hours left in the work day. I started lunch late today so I am still on break. Just throwing out a lunch time post while I still can.

My wife’s friend and former co-worker is getting married this weekend and we, along with my step daughter, are going. The wedding is in Bar Harbor, ME, which is about five hours from home. That means we’re going for the weekend. We took tomorrow (Friday) and Monday off for the drive there and back, and then we’re spending Saturday sight seeing and going to the wedding on Sunday.

One thing on Saturday’s agenda is Acadia National Park. Expect lots of photos. My mirrorless camera is going on the trip, and so are both film cameras. One is loaded with color film right now, the other with black and white. Variety, right?

I am super looking forward to this little get away. Jen and I visited Bar Harbor once many years ago and it was beautiful and I have always wanted to go back. Now we’re finally going.

Three hours and 28 minutes to go until I can sign out of work. That’s 208 minutes. That’s 12,480 seconds. So close, yet so far. I still need to pack tonight, including charging camera batteries and grabbing some extra film. I can’t wait, gentle readers. I can’t wait.

Alternate Universe Me

Daily writing prompt

Describe your life in an alternate universe.

The multiverse theory. The possibility that there are an infinite number of parallel universes where an infinite number of possibilities all exist at the same time.

Based on the parameters of this theory there therefore exists a universe where I am Batman. That’s pretty much all you need to know about this question.

I will add that, while an infinite number of possibilities exist, I suspect that I still have red hair in all possible universes. The key word being “possible” in this statement. It is not possible for me to have existed any other way. I mean, can you imagine a blonde version of me? No, you cannot. The laws of physics in all possible universes would prevent such a horror.

QED.
