Update: photographs posted. Appreciate your patience. I’ve know Janie and Churchey for most of the time I’ve lived in Macon; we have mutual friends — Calvin and Allison* especially. Originally, this event was to have been a little bigger, but it was scaled back to a simple, friendly, civil ceremony at the Courthouse in downtown [...]

Despite being out of town this weekend, I’ve managed to complete and post the photographs from this past week’s Cocktail Hour, hosted by Chris and Ellen. Okay, so there are only eight shots. It should be quick to post. Photographs like this: Linus Presides Awesome bookcase — anyone with Linus, Plato, and Naked Lunch on [...]

I was hoping to have the house, especially the office, completely set up by now. Well, uh … no. And not for a little while yet; the details are taking much, much longer than I’d anticipated. Naturally. So ahead of adding more at tonight’s Cocktail Hour, then more this weekend (details later), I decided to [...]

…was back on February 28th, and was a really fun time. Here’s the birthday boy, looking cute as ever: Couple of really great parent-and-kid shots in the set, too, like this of Rob and Callie: …And this, of newcomers Karen and Gunnar: Can’t possibly forget Dan and Connor, natch: However, as is not unusual for [...]

It’s been a screwy couple of weeks, with unexpected details finishing up construction around the house, several folks falling down stairs — including yours truly, hereafter known as “Mr. Grace” (not), and sweet Trish, who did some damage to herself on the trip down (no pun intended) — and an all-too-short visit to Florida. Get [...]

This past Friday night, at EJ’s loft in downtown Macon, MagTard held a launch party for their new CD. While it started at nine, I didn’t get there until almost 9:30 — but knew I had plenty of time before folks really got into the evening. Miles and Trish were there: I don’t get a [...]

One of recent year’s highlights, as far as I’m concerned, is celebrating the bounty that is Thanksgiving with Dan and Monica. Most of that has been about knowing great friends. Some, however, has to do with Dan’s simply-amazing turkey: Check Twice, Eat Once That title is a play on Norm Abram‘s approach to construction, someone [...]

Well, I have to admit to a huge mistake: stacking too many things, too close together. Less than a week from my return from Maine, the work on my home began. That meant that before I could even unpack from the trip, I was packing … the house. It’s turned in a very big deal [...]

Please note: This gallery is password-protected. However, the Maine gallery, starting in the next few days, won’t be — and will benefit from other news. Thanks for checking back. Last weekend, on the way back from Maine, I stopped for a couple of days in Dobbs Ferry, New York. While I missed this year’s Festa [...]

Please note: I’m working backwards, from Friday’s event in downtown Macon, through a friend’s special event last weekend in upstate New York, to the past couple of weeks in Maine — all of which resulted in some great photographs. Despite a going non-stop since getting back, please stay tuned for another post this weekend, then [...]
