More painting
Getting back into my groove in class this week as the session comes to an end. The black and metal old cameras are really where I am most strongly grounded. Similarly, Lori is jumping back into her chickens and having fun too.

Painting
I'm looking at my list of cameras that I painted as I was getting started: basically the first 100, and returning to them. I'd like to get up to 600 before my exhibition in May. It is wonderful to continue borrowing cameras and if anyone has more to lend me, I'd be very happy. However, with winter coming and the rest of life so nuts, it is comforting to have dozens of cameras that I've not looked at in OVER FIVE YEARS to pull from.
William's letter to the editor
This morning Margaret says that it looks like William has a kindred soul as she reads me a letter to the editor in the Leader Post newspaper. She asks me to guess who wrote it. I was a bit stumped but throw a could guesses out there, people who care a bit about design and fonts. "No", she says, then shows me the newspaper. True enough, there is no one that similar to William, the only one who would have written this was William himself. Total surprise to us.

New dogs coming
George has emptied the garage (first time in about 15 years) so he can house his new dogs there. I slipped in and took this photo while he's on the road going to fetch them.

Fred's birthday
George hosted his extended family for Fred's birthday dinner party this evening. We stopped in for a few minutes to get a slice of Safeway cake. Conversation seemed focused solely on Simon's barbeque skills. We will not discover until tomorrow that when we were not in the house, the conversation was about George's immanent adoption of two dogs who will live in the garage.

Police cars
This week I've been seeing police cars with sirens lit up more often than usual. Once a day I think. This one is in front of the library as I'm picking up Margaret.

One Million Hits
This blog has not had over one million hits. I'm not sure why/how I get as many as I do these days. Probably a bot reading it and preparing to replace me.

painting coincidence
I painted this microscopic camera today. I've painted it once before, and that happened to be on this very day, in this same place, exactly five years ago.
