Catching Up.
Been a “hella few months,” as they say around here.
Thankfully, finally, beginning to catch up. Here’s the to-post list, in order:
[the rest of] Conner’s Birthday
David’s Cocktail #1
David’s Cocktail #2
Sipsey (RI)
Cherry Blossom (TK, especially next Saturday’s street fair)
Should be done and posted within a few weeks, I’d say. Thanks for your patience.
Meanwhile, need to admit: been [...]
Feb 21st Cocktail Hour Photographs Posted
It occurs to me that, stupidly, I haven’t been updating the blog every time I’ve been updating the site. Need to cross-post.
Host at Kitchen Table
Thanks, Jim! It was nice knowing I could bring my mother along, and much appreciated her feeling welcome.
Just a brief gallery — nine photos. Check ’em out.
Edit: Previous 2008 Cocktail Hour [...]
WiFi … Frames? Soon.
You’re familiar, of course, with a digital frame. If you’re like me, you’ve been waiting for something, well, better.
It’s coming, soon:
Now here’s a thought: add Wi-Fi to a frame.
Once it’s on your wireless network, Kodak’s beautiful two-toned black frame can display pictures that sit on a Windows computer elsewhere in the house, provided it’s running [...]
Obama Wins GA; Giles Sleeps
Been running around like wild person in the past couple of weeks, including an out-of-state trip and three all-nighters in last eight days. You’ll have to forgive my not updating the blog — although I do have some items to post, which I’ll try to do after completing another deadline in the morning.
Meanwhile, sleep. But [...]
Caroline Kennedy
in today’s NYTimes:
OVER the years, I’ve been deeply moved by the people who’ve told me they wished they could feel inspired and hopeful about America the way people did when my father was president. This sense is even more profound today. That is why I am supporting a presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries, Barack [...]
Tonight’s Cocktail Hour
…was a great time. Thank you!
12 photos made the cut, including not only a great portrait of you, Heidi, but several borderline-humorous takes on my friends Craig, John, and Tom. Check ‘em out.
Yeah, I said Tom:
Tom and the Open Door Policy
With all due respect, sir: sorry, couldn’t resist…;)
Have to say: of all the great opportunities [...]
Two Videos
…in honor of Carey’s 40th.
The first is from the party itself, and the subject of the “post of regrets” earlier — and funny. The bzzzzzzt-oooooHHHOOO sound will be with me for a long while — in a good way…;)
Also, check out the clip on HGTV regarding the WaterWorks. Very cool.
Thanks, Carey!
A Little Housekeeping
Some massaging today:
To all three of Carey’s galleries (One, Two, and Favorites), as one photo was deleted — yeah, we deleted the racy photo — and another added. (Naturally, the photo added was at the beginning, messing up my numbering scheme…;)
To this site’s look, re-adding the entry page back, along with a link to this [...]
Carey’s 40th – Part Two Posted
If the first part is titled, “Black Tie,” it’s only appropriate that the second part be titled, “Feet Up.”
As the evening wore on, it progressed from birthday party to birthday party. Hmmmm — okay!
My favorite photograph from the second set.
Indeed, I’ve upped the favorites count from 16 to 20 — with all but three of [...]
Carey’s 40th – Part One Posted
The final selection of photographs from Carey’s 40th birthday party wound up at an even hundred.
Part One, containing the first fifty, has been posted. (Missed Tuesday by thirty minutes. Sorry…;)
Please enjoy.
Have to say, a hundred final photos is many more than I expected when this got underway Saturday evening. I hope you like them as [...]
