It was a long day and an even longer evening. Roger Daltry performed Tommy. It was a large crowd and and an enthusiastic one as well. I was there three and a half hours before the show started. It was actually pretty warm until it got cold and windy. I got home and took a hot shower. Tonight it i

I have an Olympus point and shoot with a 24x zoom. Yesterday it stopped working (the lens won't retract) and I called the company. They no longer service this model because it is about six or seven years old. I hate that. I'm afraid it is mechanical, so I will go to my local camera guy and see if

Of all of the qualities I admire in anyone, genuine is the most important to me. I have found that when someone is real, it is easy to relate to them no matter who or what they are. As I think about it, I have been disappointed by people in my life but seldom if ever by anyone who was genuine. Ma

While I was in Uganda we stayed at different hotels. At our third stop in Kibale National Park, before the Chimpanzee trek I had breakfast. Later that night while waiting for dinner, one of our two guys told me that one of the kitchen staff recognized me from Kenya. Apparently this guy worked at

I don't know how long I have been on Active Rain but it's been years. I remember when my goal was to get a comment or two. Then I wanted a a customer call, and then I wanted to get to a free account at 500,000 points. I thought it would never come but it did. Now I am about a week away from hitti

The sun is out and the day is good. I have been doing errands and getting things done that have been waiting too long. I am almost finished with my Uganda photo book and I even did a load of wash. Normal is good, and embracing that is something I am happy to do. So there I am.

Everyday is a new day and I see new things and learn things if I listen. Yesterday was slow. That said, the mark of most days is whether or not something of mine sells. So after a very long morning and afternoon I made two personal sales in the last 15 minutes we were open. I spent a great deal o
