Visit

Visiting my mother. She’s asleep in the dining room. That’s not uncommon. It makes me sad, but as dad once said, if she’s sleeping she’s not in pain. That’s some bright side thinking right there.

I’m hitting the grocery store on the way home and might (if weather and population allow) stop at The Park and snap a pic or two. As always, we will see.

Guess Who Over Slept

No photo morning for this red head. I overslept. Now I need to do my morning routine and put together an office chair and go visit mom.

There is a park near mom’s place (cleverly named The Park. True story) and maybe I’ll stop and take a pic or two on the way home. We will see.

But first: shower and breakfast.

Where Should I Go?

We are supposed to get some rain tomorrow, but the morning weather forecast looks good. That means another morning of picture taking goofiness.

Where should I go?

No idea.

I need to put an office chair together and I need to do some grocery shopping and I need to visit my mother. Does any of that help me come up with picture taking ideas? No, not even a little bit.

I have two days off coming up. A Friday and a Monday. One of those days (weather permitting) will include some time in Boston and/or Cambridge. I’m going to try to recreate this little bastard again:

Hancock Tower in Boston

I also want to go to a few places I don’t think I’ve ever visited with a camera. It’s all dependent on the weather, of course, but it really just means that I don’t want to go to the city tomorrow.

Tewksbury? Lowell again? Billerica? Concord? Who knows. I’ll tell you once I figure it out.

Happy trails, eh?

Packed

I’m in the office today. Not my office but another of my company’s buildings that is 35 miles further from home. The first 10-15 miles of the commute was brutal. After that it was just a matter of trying to go fast enough to make up for some of the lost time. I got to the parking lot with a couple of minutes to spare.

Speaking of the parking lot, I have never seen it this full. Even pre-pandemic, I never saw this place packed the way it is. There is a conference here today. We are not going to it, but we are involved in a couple of things that are sort of related to it. I’m the guy hiding in a conference room, sitting as far away from everyone else, and only removing my mask to consume sustenance.

I really want to go home now.
