After the interview with the former Secretary of Defense I went to the grocery store to get something for two, not three. Wife’s out for the night, no dinner. In the pizza aisle:
When you go that far out of your way to misspell wings, people will assume there’s absolutely no chicken involved [...]
Total lazybones mood continues; I blame the Healing Process. And I am healing nicely, aside from various irritations. The vicious cycle of oral discomfort: it would all go away on its own much sooner if nature hadn’t provided a large semi-autonomous muscle RIGHT THERE to bother the irritation on a constant basis. Come to think [...]
The dreaded photo blog again, because it’s a column night, and I’m skint on ideas. I need some sort of restorative event to fill the tank again. A broad swath of time away from everything. But! Absent that, this.
The view outside the building today:
Here’s something I’m putting into the [...]
It’s the dreaded PHOTO BLEAT, filling up space because it was a night of work and I happen to have some pictures.
Or, I could go with the random picture taken in a second-hand clothing store with plenty of Halloween stock, and note that this description of a fake mustache would [...]
I’ve been away – the annual trip up (and down) Highway Ten to restore my spirit and reconnect with life outside the narrow parameters of life here in town. En route I posted to the new iPhone-photo-blog – it’s here. Quite nifty: take a picture, email it to the blog, and it’s up. Many [...]

A Saturday afternoon trip to the Mall – not my favorite place on earth – yielded a few pictures. The Darth Vader wing:
The center of the Mall, once Camp Snoopy, now contains a Nickelodeon theme park.
Gigantic machinery rearranges the contents of your stomach:
Cute:

What light streams through yonder fence? Well, that would the light from the sun, like most of the light we have.
It was cold today - four degrees, then two, then nothing.
Yesterday, actually. iPhone photo: snow and late-afternoon light = a blue world. This is all we have for neon around here. It’s not enough, but it helps.
When you start thinking in terms of distance, spread, opacity and angle, you’ve spent too much time in Photoshop.
Another shot from the post-war high school where my daughter has weekly piano lessons. Every week I find some surviving piece of the old Ike-era styles.
