Posted on February 12, 2012 by K

A coupla things I’ve learned, pretty much too late: 1.  Mostly about film  photography: if something is worth shooting, it’s also worth the little extra cost and trouble that goes into finding a good lab to do the processing. Things … Continue reading →

Posted on January 30, 2012 by K

Posted on January 25, 2012 by K

I found a little box of chocolates in the fridge.  I didn’t mean to.  I wasn’t hunting for it.  Left over from Swiss Colony. There were just a few in there.  And I ate them all. Today.  For lunch. A … Continue reading →

Posted on January 15, 2012 by K

It’s the middle of January.  In this hemisphere, that means we are in the thick of winter, buried in snow, crusted with hoar frost. But not this year.  Yesterday, I bundled up and went out to the barn to watch … Continue reading →

~:: Political Howling ::~

Posted on January 4, 2012 by K

I’d say that I’m getting sick of politics, but the statement would be inaccurate.  I have ALWAYS been sick of politics.  Probably since before I was born onto this planet, I hated politics.  It’s just that lately, I am sick-ER.  … Continue reading →
