Saturday Stuff

I woke up later than usual but because of the time of year the sun had not come up yet. I took advantage and grabbed a couple of cameras and went out to shoot some golden hour pics. I went to Weir Hill in Andover hoping there would be some fall foliage colors on display. There was… a little… nothing to write home about though. I shot two rolls of 120 film and 2/3 of a roll of 35mm.

I went home and had breakfast with my wife and my step son and his girlfriend. I did some chores around the house and then we went apple picking. Our first stop was out of honeycrisp so they sent us to an alternate location and we filled a couple of bags. I shot most of the rest of that 35mm roll. We then went to a comic/games store in Manchester, NH and bought some Magic the Gathering stuff so my step son could start teaching his girlfriend how to play. My step daughter started teaching me and my wife a month or so ago so we all sat at the dining room table and played a game. I was more lost than not. While at the comics store I finished the roll of film. 

Up next is dinner, my wife is making turkey tacos, and then we’re going to watch the first of the two IT movies. I’m really tired tonight but hopefully I won’t doze during the movie. 

I’m thinking of taking the cameras out again in the morning but I am not sure where I want to go. Should I take advantage of the really late sunrise and go to the ocean again? I might. We will see.

Labor Day Weekend

Labor Day Weekend has arrived. Today is the first day of a three day weekend.

I had to take one of the cats to the Vet. She was just getting a vaccine booster shot, that’s all. The appointment was at 11:00. I was at the Vet’s office for almost two hours. Two. Hours. 

Now that I have started writing this literary tome I have come to realize that I have nothing to write about.

I played guitar today. Just for a little while. I played poorly. Very poorly. I was mad but being mad playing guitar is better than most other things in life.

I wife and step daughter played a trivia game tonight. They mopped the floor with me. It was fun despite my terrible performance. My step daughter is going to stay at her dad’s for the next week. The week after that she moves to California. As it works out, it means today is the last full day that we have her here before she moves away. The trivia game was part of that. So is movie night. 

It’s a good night.

I lost

At one point of Trivial Pursuit I had four pie pieces and Jen and Bellana both had two.

I lost. Jen won. Bellana had all six and I only had five.

I was hoping someone would suggest calling it a game at least half an hour before it ended. It was the most frustrating game of Trivial Pursuit ever played.

It was fun though.
