Just why?
Scott!???! Why the fuck are you photographing a men’s room? Just because…. sometimes it’s not about the content, it’s about the edits. Weirdly, I had an idea, and yes…. this is what I settled on. Lots to say perhaps, or very little. Usually, the less you say in the men’s room is better. Get in, get out. Most guys know this… most women don’t. Some unsaid rule you learn. Does anyone remember the full-length urinals? Or the troughs? I know, sometimes I am weird. So be it.

Mudge boy, Line man, and UGH
A few weeks ago, I gave up my old Microsoft Surface for a new Microsoft Surface Laptop. It was working fine, but reasons… needed new and shiny, just wanted to, and just wanted it. So I just did it. With that came all the other things, my pen from Bamboo was OKAY, but wasn’t perfect… had to get the Slim Pen 2. It really works quite well. I like to play artist but have not been motivated much of the pandemic crazy time. Forcing myself back in cause it clears the mind. Today I needed it. Head crud the last two days (not covid) has kept me at home. Have…

I’m tired of things
I cannot tell you how many covid tests I have had in the last year. Maybe 1/2 dozen I think, but I’m not going back and counting… I don’t care to know. All needed, and not all out of exposure or worry. wo last February when I developed a fever that would not go away for 4 days. Turns out I had a tooth infection and antibiotics cleared that crap up. a few for preparing for travel down to see Mom, and a few from this stupid little notification. Exposure from 6 days ago… Normally it’s been 2…. and normally I’d run out and get a test, but 6 days…

Work and Family
It’s funny, I lost my dad almost 2 years ago, but as soon as I heard some news at work yesterday, I immediately thought of him. He was always the first person I called when big work news hit, and this news I felt the need to tell him. Our president is retiring. After 16 years, the last 5ish as president, he’s moving on to spend more time with his family. He’s sticking around till March, and his replacement has already been named. Dad always was asking about my job and life and everything. Whenever he saw a ad for my company in any magazine, he’d always bring it up……

Out For a Walk
Went out for a walk with an Ingress buddy. It was Second Sunday which means not a thing to most… But it was a chance to meet a friend for breakfast, venture into the real world, encounter random strangers, and take a few photos. 5 miles 6 parks, 6 missions 140ish portals Ingress is the forerunner of Pokémon GO and Wizards Unite, only way cooler. Here are some random photographs snuck in along the way. Which is your favorite?…

Bad Poetry Day
If you’ve been following along, on August 12, 2016 I broke my leg skating. Yeah, mostly all better 5 years later, but today I came across this. It was an attempt at something almost one year before that, at the same location my leg went boom. I find it funny that on that day, I was not skating. Should have kept it that way. Oh, you! bad meter and rhyme Stuck in my head like gum saved on bedpost Old. Dry. Flavorless. Till morning I heed the call And savor its flavor Till something else comes along #badpoetryday #notskating

The Boy In All Of Us
This was not an intentional photo, and I had even forgotten about it. It was taken by accident and just uploaded like 99% of all my horrible pics. Until I looked back. The original had my thumb in the way. I did not want to upload it as it was snapped, but you know me… I luvz me a good edit. Perhaps this is good, perhaps not. The boy I once was Adults gather, and drink and laugh With dad doing man things I sit, wanting to grow old The man I am now I sit, wanting to be young

Dad’s Photos
My Dad was a 35mm camera junky. Many years ago he started scanning them to get them digital. His attention to detail wasn’t fantastic, but at least we now have them accessible. During one of his house cleanouts all those cartridges of 100’s of slides got tossed out. Kinda sad actually. Scanning them made them redundant. Once or twice a year, he’d drag out the projector and we’d all sit around and relive all the places we had been. Simpler times for sure. One day I’ll do the same with all the prints in all the albums. It’s good to have memories.
