Zen Evenings

The perfect evening is one that starts with "Let's meet up for lunch," and goes from there. This was one of those. It started meeting up for tacos, then it was movie night in Dolores, which quickly fizzled when we couldn't hear or see (protip: get there early if you want either of those things). So, we went to the house, and thence to several bars, just sort of moving along on impulse. The larger the group, the harder this is, but it's pretty good when it works.

random photos day

Today has been a very long day; started at 3am in SF and now I'm in OKC for 13 days, to help my mom with recovery from kidney transplant surgery. Anyone who's waited multiple years on a transplant list knows what a relief this is (that goes for families as well). No more dialysis is a big improvement in quality of life, to be sure, but having that whole chapter closed and being able to start a new one is a great thing. Anyway, travel and sleep interruptions left me a bit drained, so I thought it'd be a good time to share the collection of random images that has accumulated at the top of the queue. These are photos that didn't fit with whatever post I was doing at the time, but couldn't bear to part with. Nothing tying them together other than my presence.

four portraits

These people are all very different, but I saw the visual similarity when I was editing, and decided they could go together. that's all for tonight.

midsummer complains about fall

I think this must've been the ass end of July. It was grey and cold for the duration. I don't know why, but sleep isn't coming tonight for some reason. It's not yet midnight, but it feels very late. Stupid Daylight Savings time. For those of use with sensitive circadian rhythms, it sucks.
