The plan was to get a shot of the moon last night, or wake up early this morning and get it with my drone. Instead I missed the moon at dusk & grabbed this shot with the drone, then woke up for a nice 3:30a internet sesh. If I reach for that computer, it's a … Continue reading Day 24: No sleep & plumbers
If this has taught me anything it's that as unsocial as I can be at times, the internet isn't a good replacement for human interaction. I got our piano group set up on Zoom, just to see if it was a viable replacement for our cancelled meeting. Besides the video freezing up, the sound worked … Continue reading Day 8: Zoom meetings
Just writing out loud today, thinking of the pros & cons of getting a studio. I've been thinking about it for awhile, wondering if it would kick my butt into action for finally putting together some things I've done. My company, GrandView Services, has been sitting dormant when the FAA opened it up and … Continue reading Office Space/Studio
Perfect time of year to go down there, great rates with few people and pockets of sunny weather. Summer down there is pretty cold and foggy, the water is always freezing. There have been years I've dropped off everyone at the airport after Christmas and just gone down by myself for a few days. This … Continue reading After Holiday Detox – Monterey
Looks like we left Istanbul just in time, although it's not anywhere near the border and I still believe it's one of the greatest cities to visit and probably very safe. Who knows though? We were in Egypt maybe ten years ago and I never felt very safe there, so glad we went though! That … Continue reading Aging as a woman
That's because of this kitchen, which will be done soon. Lots of family stuff, lots of back & forth to SoCal with camera in tow and no time for pics. It sometimes comes down to being in the moment or taking a picture of the moment and missing it. Can't remember the last time I … Continue reading Not a writing/photography summer
It finally caught up with me, down for the count. It could actually be allergies and exhaustion from the super bloom too?? It's so beautiful out, but with the allergy season that's going to be huge I'm afraid to go outside! So what have I been up to since I haven't been able to blog? … Continue reading Too much road time
Last stop, what a great adventure this has been...nothing like a lengthy road trip to make you appreciate a nice shower and super sonic toothbrush. My husband has been the concierge while I just drove, letting him know where I was going to be the next night then an email reservation would pop up and … Continue reading Bend, Oregon
Not the best time of year to travel through here, better than last week when the Amtrak train got stuck in the snow for 3 days. It rain/snowed on my drive, making it easy to get over the passes that were either closed or chain controlled last week too. This is my first trip ever … Continue reading Eugene, OR
Good thing my house is set up for indoor days right now and still kind of recovering. By the end of this storm I should be good to go again. I'm not missing anything, even skiing, by staying home this week. I just hope my friend's baby isn't born in this, Seattle has had more … Continue reading Rain forevermore
