Just before sunset, the pier on film. My second roll of pro-level film. Unlike the first crack at it, these are pretty underwhelming. And yet… I want more… and more… and more…

Insurance
Does talking to an insurance company make everyone feel like this, or is it just me?
Insert the sound of a middle aged red head giggling here.
Guitar Cat?
Is Robin taking an interest in guitar? Might there be lessons in her future? Lily could not possibly care less.
Lunch in Burlington
Lunch with the kids in Burlington, VT.
Pit Stop
We use this particular McDonalds bathroom every time we drive up to visit the kids. Every time.
Gross
Is carving up a pumpkin and making a jack-o-lantern the single grossest thing that we as a society do? No? Is it in the top 10? Yeah, probably.
Why do we do it? Specifically, why do I do it when our kids are old enough to have moved out of the house and we don’t have them here at all during the Halloween season?
I don’t know, but I still do it. Specifically, I just did it. Meet our 2024 jack-o-lantern. I am still thinking of a name for him. Smiley? Jackass? Putz? They all seem appropriate.
My beloved wife and I watched It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown last night. I completely forgot about the scene where Lucy and the girls used Charlie Brown’s big bald head as a template for a jack-o-lantern. Freakin’ hysterical.
My Civic Duty
One vote closer to removing the fascists again.
My Buddy
Just hanging with my little furry buddy.
Okay. It’s almost 10:30am and I haven’t done anything other than breakfast, exercise, and take out the trash. Time to start getting shit done. Let’s go, Robert
Toy Cameras
I really want to try medium format film, but I don’t have a medium format camera and I really don’t want to spend any noteworthy amount of money on one.
Should I get a Holga (a cheap plastic toy camera that just happens to shoot medium format film) just to dip my toes into the water, so to speak? Will that turn me off of the whole thing, or will it send me spiraling down a rabbit hole that my bank account and I will never recover from?
Why can’t I just make a decision?
On an unrelated note, our drive to Vermont to see the kids tomorrow has been postponed for one day. That should not make me sad (we’ll see them Sunday instead of Saturday) but it really makes me sad. I think I might be overtired. Everything is getting to me right now. Go take a nap, Robert.
