day in Chicago

Not much to add to this. It was fun. And it was good to see James and Brenda again.

cleaning

I did some cleaning last week. Since about January first, I've had a bathtub leaning up against the wall in my kitchen. It wasn't much in the way, except that it stuck out into the pathway into the living room. And when you sat at the kitchen table, your back would be up against it. But I finally got it out of there. I moved it to the sunporch.

I've also had a big pile of crap in the kitchen - papers, tools, magazines, newspapers, extension cords, books, shoes, etc. I sorted through it a little bit. I found a gift certificate from Christmas 2001. I found a packed for my health insurance enrollments that I was supposed to fill out and turn into HR by October 15th, 2002. Not much interesting besides that. I got rid of about half the mess.

So when Cyn showed up on friday, I expected her jaw to drop. She didn't notice. She walked right through the spot where the bathtub was several times. She didn't notice until about 9:00 the next morning.

cemetaries

Yesterday, during our visit to Graceland Cemetary in Chicago, I shot half a roll of black and while film and half a roll of color. That was disappointing, because I don't know how long it will take to finish either of them - especially the b/w. I seldom have cause to shoot black and white.

I did finish a roll (color) while we were at Calvary, though. So I should have that back in a few days. With luck I can get some online by next weekend, if they turned out well enough.
