  • Not a whole lot to do today in the rain. We were hoping to drive up Mt Washington, but it's all clouded in. Not exactly ideal for photos. #
  • We came to the theater to see a movie about schmucks, but are instead see some animated thing. I've been promised pizza afterwards… #
  • The pizza was a lie. We're at a 99 instead. #
  • After a modestly restful night, it's time to pack up and head home. Just one stop left on the way home at the Canterbury Shaker Village. #
  • Home sweet home. I'm back in the land of 3G service and fiber optic Internet. #
  • Our visit to the Shaker Museum in Canterbery, NH has reinforced my love of their furniture and I've settled on my first piece to build. #
  • 12 rolls of color film to drop off, 4 rolls of B&W to develop, and 1 roll of Kodachrome. I shot more rolls of film than I did digital images #

  • Leas than 15 minutes till the top of the service and none of my tech people are here yet. :: Gulp :: #
  • Just home from a family birthday celebration. It looks like I'm soon to be a Kindle owner! #
  • Amidst severe storm warnings for several more hours the sun seems to want to peek through the clouds. It's not putting up a strong fight. #
  • Testing of my 10th, and final, 2TB disk is under way. Hopefully it's a good disk and I can finally upgrade capacity on my offsite storage. #
  • Just posted my first shot from my Mamiya 645 camera to Flickr. So far, I'm liking the camera! http://flic.kr/p/8sVuW8 #
  • I'd love to watch TV and eat chips right now. Lucky for my waistline though, I don't keep any chips at my house! #
  • Running very late tonight.. barely time for a quick dinner before I'm out the door to rehearsal. #

  • Quite a fun evening after all though a bit late. Quick shower and I'm off to bed! #
  • Sunday morning always arrives too early. I'm going to need a nap! #
  • Relaxing a bit after a crazy weekend. So tired! Looking forward to a good night's rest. #
  • Feeling pretty rough still at this point. Hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I've got my hydration sort out… #
  • Feeling much better this morning and I'm looking forward to a few nice cups of tea to get me back to normal. #
  • Rather upset guy just stormed into the AAMCO building I work in mad about work we did for someone else.. not a lot they can do for him alone #
  • Just ordered the last items I'll need for vacation, hopefully. Couple dozen rolls of film should see me through until the fall at least! #
  • I'm doing some research into developing color print film. Turns out it's not all that much different from developing B&W. Might try it… #

  • It's been a day, but now it's time to hit the hay. #
  • My exciting Monday evening plans: Buy trash barrels. I know, I know.. I live like a rockstar! My life is so crazy! #
  • Totally insane day. It's noon and I've not even managed to find the time to make a single cup of tea! #
  • Doing some last minute cleanup before @historyteach45 shows up for dinner. So hungry! #
  • I have, for the first time ever, rolled my garbage out to the curb. Again, I live like a rockstar. I can't stress that enough. #
  • Interesting evening with @historyteach46. I've never had someone invite themselves over before. I did what I could to make the best of it. #
  • Epic rain in Manchester this afternoon. TIme to head home and hopefully beat the hail… #
  • Warm but dry evening so I'm off to play some tennis. #
  • Just home from Kingston Days, a small town summer fair of sorts. Always ripe with things to take pictures of! #

  • Service went well this AM. First time I've been on the drums in years during service. #
  • Hooray! Finally setup for curbside trash pickup. I've only lived in the house 9 months… #
  • Sweet! Found the last little piece I was looking to add to my Mamiya 645 kit, the right angle finder! Should be here in time for vacation… #
  • Just shot a quick roll on my new (to me) Canon Sure Shot WP-1 waterproof 35mm camera. I'm all ready for kayaking! http://campl.us/dGC #
  • Time to fire up the grill and make some dinner. Salmon steak this evening I think, maybe a little olive oil, salt and pepper. #
  • I am so tired of listening to iPhone 4 news. This is not a massive story. Move along. For the record, my has been flawless. #
  • Totally slammed today. After a quick outside trouble call I walked into my office and was pounced on by broken computers. Sharp edges! #
