On the Way
We left the house at 1:50pm. 10 minutes ahead of schedule. It’s 4:23 now and we are on route 15 in Connecticut.
I Have a Screw Loose
I have a screw loose, but you all knew that already, Har Har Har.
But seriously, folks. My glasses. One of the arms was super loose. Last night I had this vision, more like a nightmare except that I was awake, of being somewhere in North Carolina and having the arm fall off of my glasses and not being able to drive anymore because I’m half blind.
Jen has a little screw driver kit on a key chain that’s meant for glasses. I borrowed it but I couldn’t see the loose screw without my glasses on and I couldn’t fix the loose screw while my glasses are on.
Jen helped me out because she’s a saint. All is well now. Thank you, my love.
Street Lights
Back to Boston for today’s pic. When these turn on it is time for the kids to get home.
Or is that just a suburban thing?
The road trip to Florida is going to start in about five hours. Will there be truck loads of film shot? I already have a roll of Kodak ColorPlus 200 in the FG-20. Let’s see what happens, shall we?
New Years Celebration
How did you celebrate New Years Day?
I’ll tell you how we celebrated New Years Day.
A Will Ferrel double feature.
Anchorman
Blades of Glory
I don’t know how there is still cocaine in the world because I have to imagine that the writing of these two cinematic masterpieces used up all of the world’s cocaine supply.

That’s my step son in the distance there. In case you wanted to know what he looked like in portrait orientation.
Resolutions
Anyone out there making New Years Resolutions this year? 2020-2022 will be remembered as a non stop avalanche of suck. Is that enough to make you not look toward the imminent new year as something to be endured rather than something to strive for?
I’m not making any New Years Resolutions. Mainly because the obligatory go to is to lose weight and if I lose as much in 2023 as I did in 2022 I’d end up weighing something like 40 pounds and that, dear readers, would not look very good on me.
I could resolve to get the band back together or to write more songs or to practice guitar more. None of those things really meet the spirit of the thing though, you know?
So yeah, no 2023 resolutions for this guy here. I think it’s more appropriate to just duck and cover and ride out the coming shit storm.
Happy New Year. Two hours and 24 minutes to go.
Paws
The vet hospital we took Patches to the other night sent us these:
Little tiny Patchie paw prints. Awwww.
Blurry Background Re-Test
I did more or less the same blurry background test from the other day, this time with the new lens.
The results are sooooo much better this time. Squeeeee!!!
How Do You Spell Buoy?
I had to Google “buoy” to make sure I didn’t misspell it, and I still typo’d it twice anyway.
It’s New Years Eve and we are two days away from an epic road trip followed by an epic Orlando, FL vacation followed by another epic road trip. I am planning on shooting oodles of film, but I just got the sweetest 40mm prime lens for my new mirrorless camera and suddenly the draw to film and the draw to digital are pretty much equal. We’ll see how much film I use.
