Good Instincts
Photo-A-Day #1485

Allison tells me that whenever the photographer or videographer at a wedding stands in front of me it means I have good instincts. I think it is because they like to stand in front of any guy who has a camera as big as theirs. Not that I’d ever get in the way of a professional photographer who is being paid for a wedding or event. I just seem to always grab the spot right behind the real photographer.

Last night Allison and I went to the wedding of her cousin Beth. We had a very nice time and got to spend that time with her parents, cousins, brother and Sister-In-Law, grandparents, aunts and uncles. The wedding was a very nice one and everyone had a great time. I took a bunch of photos but need to do some processing. They are all pretty grainy because I didn’t use flash so as not to disturb anyone. When I get a moment, not sure when, I’ll have to post those photos and the pajama party ones.

Yesterday was also Free Comic book day and I picked up books at Newbury comics as well as at Wild Time Comics. Wild Time is my local comic shop but occasionally something on my pull/sub list gets missed, this stinks because I pick up my books infrequently so I end up having to go somewhere else to find the books that got missed. Yesterday was a pretty good haul too.

We left Eva with our friends T.R. and Michael, they took her to dinner and she entertained them to no end. She also, thankfully, slept very well for them. We really appreciate that they took the time to help us. Apparently it also helped them work on their wedding plans as well.

Photo-A-Day #1484

Today when I woke up I saw that my friends SmilieShorts and Chica kicked butt for hours and commented like champs. They went above and beyond to help me try and win a comment contest to get $400 for Walking 4 2nd Base. And then I’d have gotten $400 for me which I was going to use for four of my favorite charities. Alas their efforts, while fantastic and again, above and beyond, were just not enough. I sent out calls for help through most of the past month to nearly 700 people and then there was my twitter reach and the calls fell on many deaf ears. It happens, we move on.

SmilieShorts is doing the Relay for life tonight and that is after staying up till midnight last night commenting on this blog. She has a goal of $100 in fund raising and she is 10% there because I donated. Can my readers match me? Let’s help April reach her goal.

Christian from Speed of Thought Playhouse also commented at 2:53am. He said that there was a Pajama Party tonight at Speed of Thought Playhouse. I went on down to check it out and became the official video man for the night. It was another night of wild and crazy improv fun. I need to figure out a better way of securing the camera. However, after many different positions for the camera I finally figured out the best place to put it. I finally got everything working. I think that eventually we’ll get some places set up for more permanent camera locations.
