Today is fathers day in the united states. If you are a dad or if you are someone who plays the dad role in your family, then happy fathers day.
This year is the first fathers day we’ve had since my father passed away. Jen and Bellana went to the grave with me. I am so grateful to them for that gesture. It means so much. I miss my father quite a bit, and I miss him a little extra today.
Lily seems pleased that we are home.
That camera I bought on ebay a couple of weeks ago? The Nikon F-401? The camera with the autofocus that was going to make my film shooting life so much easier?
The aperture dial doesn’t work. It just spins, it doesn’t click. It doesn’t actually affect the lens’ aperture at all. Not even a teeny tiny bit. If you try to use the aperture ring instead of the dial as a work around? The camera doesn’t fire.
Failure. Total. The lens is nice though so I probably won’t send it back. Anyone know any place that fixes cameras?
Want to know the scariest thing in the world?
A passenger on a plane sitting next to you is holding….
A ukulele.
The horror… the horror…. The horror…
I have a new favorite picture. My peoples.
Look at this picture:
Harry, mugging it up with Minnie Mouse. It’s adorable, right?
Look closer… do you see Mickey Mouse in the (blurry!) background? Does he look… jealous? Does he look like maybe that smile on his face is not sincere? Does he look like there is trouble brewing? Should Harry and Minnie be afraid of some sort of repercussion?
I don’t think so but… I don’t know.
That’s today’s photo a day picture. Number 284 of 365.

Today is Wednesday, which makes this day four of the trip? I think so. I am on vacation so I refuse to do math.
Yesterday was Magic Kingdom but the weather went down the crapper in the afternoon and we spent a lot of the time at the hotel watching lightning. One blast hit so close that we think it might have hit something in the hotel complex. That was freaky.
Today is Hollywood Studios. We’ll spend the morning there then go back to the hotel to rest up for an extended after hours event that we bought tickets for. We may be riding Star Wars rides until after midnight. Fortunately I had my first good nights sleep in weeks last night, so fingers crossed I’m up for it.
I hope to be posting pictures of First Order stormtroopers soon.
