My girl and I are heading to the Big Apple tomorrow! Even though I grew up in state of New York, I never once made the trek over to NYC for a visit, so I’m thrilled to be finally going there. We have quite the itinerary planned out, from a death metal Nintendo-sounding concert Thursday night (we might even dress the part maybe we’ll go as Tetris?), to seeing “Wicked” on Friday, to visiting the Guggenheim, Central Park, and maybe even Ellis Island. We’ll also be checking out some cool restaurants, including a ninja-themed establishment serving Japanese cuisine. I think the food is delivered by ninja’s gliding down from the ceiling on ropes! Ok, not really. But that would be sweet! Pictures and stories to follow…probably. : )

15 hours is a long time to drive in a Mazda Miata.  I have first-hand knowledge of that!  But we made it without a hitch, and I’m here getting settled in right now.  My brother Dan and brother-in-law Dale drove up Friday and arrived 5am Saturday, so I can’t really complain much about a long drive since they doubled what I drove!  I’m so thankful they were able to drive up and help me move.  And thanks to Mark Wells for taking time off to drive down in the Miata with me.   Before Mark flies out tonight, we’re planning on checking out some of Tampa, which should be fun.

On another note, if you look at any of my Zooomr photos, please know that Zooomr is having some MAJOR issues right now!  All of my photos have been replaced with the photos of other people, and some of them are quite inappropriate.  I’ve emailed Zooomr about the issue and hopefully it will be resolved soon.  If not, I’m done with Zooomr and going to Flickr.

So please…don’t bother looking at my photo sets right now…thanks!

This past weekend I took a trip out to our nation’s capitol to visit my friend Mel. It’s been years since the last time I was in DC, so Mel gave me the insider’s tour of some of the monuments and memorials. I had a great time while I was out there and took some pictures of some of the sights. Check ‘em out:

I finally finished the roll of film in my Holga that had the last few pictures I took over Labor Day and got the film processed. Here are a few more of those pictures:

I spent this past Labor Day with my family and took a number of photos with my Holga 120N.  I finally got some (not all) of them developed and posted to my Zooomr account.

Here’s Dad and Mom:
