it is a dark & stormy night

rain--slow, steady, and cold is going to keep me from walking the three blocks to meeting tonight where it is going to be stormy. fortunately, i will be the note keeper so it will be an excuse to be quiet and still. unfortunately, i am the one who put together schedules that will cause the heated conversation. my only consolation, it wasn't my idea to begin with.....the person who will complain the most is the creator of the idea. is that an oxymoron?

the obits

too many bare branches, excess of gray skies, & bittersweet chris botti

sweet grass, cigarette gifts, silent drums, graph paper notes, red string, lutefisk, rice pudding

pushing the crew

with my pentax and fuji film (vs other brands that the boss uses) i am the main photographer for the yearbook. having the telephoto lens is perfect, else you wind up with everyone posing or hiding or missing the facial expressions. friday jostens was in town and i took dozens of pictures of seniors making graduation decisions before i realized that i had no film.... arugh. so ran -- well in my case fast shuffled -- back to the house to get film out of the freezer. it worked out okay. in any case there are tons of pictures for the yearbook... they struggled over fonts....there is always something...this year the cover was an easy choice. have design pages picked out. but the biggy thing is i have only one writer. i think we were destined to help each other out though. another problem which is always a problem is TIME! only have 2 hours a month scheduled....not nearly enough. so no i am scheduling 3 hours on sundays that everyone is around. and sneaking in some other evenings during the week. mainly i need to get three people together and get the whip out...whoops... that won't work....maybe food will do it.

did you know that if you wear a metal clip --like the olympic gymnists wear-- close to but not touching your hearing aid that you can make your hearing aid squeal just by touching the hair clip? also if you bend over just right --clip still in hair-- the clip will set the hearing aid off also?
