• Hiding in the shadows of illness.

    I have completed a most unlikely weekend; one in which we went somewhere new and I didn’t take any pictures. I dutifully carried my camera around, but I never framed a shot, much less actually take a picture. All I can say is I wasn’t inspired. A cold will do that for you.

    It’s too bad too, we were doing the annual convention tag along and this year’s installment took us to Hutchinson Island, on Florida’s east coast. That’s “Florida’s Gold Coast”, according to the Chamber of Commerce. Our hotel wasn’t right on the beach but it was nice anyway. Part of the problem was the rain, part of it was the cold, and part of it was… I don’t know. Maybe it didn’t seem unique enough to picture. Not once did I think to myself: “I’d like to remember just how this looked.” This is what inspires me to take my camera out. It’s not the most artsy reason in the world, but it’s honest.

  • “Fantasy of Flight – Exit 44″

    What pray tell is “Fantasy of Flight?” I really have no idea; however, out front there is a plane taking a header into the ground with a flight-suited man hanging from the tail. Please, take me!

  • On the road again.

    Once again, this entry comes to you courtesy of a ride in a car. It must be a welcome change from the death watch at the allergist. Me? I could go either way.

    We finished up the mother of all mini vacations today. A word of thanks goes out to the patron saint of good timing. (Who would have guessed that I’m not really up to speed on my saints?) We practically walked right on everything yesterday. Need a bus to Epcot? Just step right up and one appears at the stop. Want to see the Little Mermaid show at “Disney’s MGM Studios”, the one you’ve never seen due to the long lines? Just step right up, you’re the first in line for the next show. How about the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular? Well you’re in luck folks, the show’s just starting. Come on in!

    Un-freaking believable! All on a holiday weekend no less!

    There’s just one problem: nature’s check book always balances at zero. All that good fortune is bound to create the ultimate equal and opposite reaction. I hope I’m not around when things snap back.
