Once again, it has come to my attention that I have been slacking off when it comes to the world of my blogging efforts. I’ll see if I can’t whip up a little something something to make it up to you guys.
Hummmm. So what has been going on since my last post? Last weekend Viv and I drove the Supra down to Austin to help Novie get some of her things moved to Dallas. That was a very cool trip. We stopped in Waco and ate at the Health Camp. I trained Viv on the tradition of getting a great old time hamburger and a malt at the classic burger joint that been there and remains largely unchanged since the late 1940’s. Viv took it to a new level by ordering not one, but two of their combo meals. It was dark when we left Waco, so we pulled over and took off the T-Top on the Supra and rode the rest of the way with the top off. It was a beautiful night for a cruse in a fast car with the top down. We had a good time while in Austin even though we had to leave the Supra behind and drive a huge U-Haul back home.
Viv is out of town this week and asked me to take care of his dog Toby. I’ve had a bit of a long week this week, and Toby decided to add insult to injury last night while I was playing with some of my new camera gear (more on that below). Keeping in mind this is a house trained dog (well… trained might be a strong word….house broken is probably more appropriate).The little monkey walked right up to me, and no more than 3 feet from me he crapped on my floor. I think that’s how dogs say “SCREW YOU!” in dog-speak. Nonverbal communication…..he didn’t say a word but I got the message. It was all in the body language. 
It rained yesterday. I think that was the longest amount of time t hat I can remember between rain storms. They say we are in the worst drought that we have had in 50 years. I felt like a little kid. I couldn’t help but go outside to play in the rain. You would have thought I had never seen, or didn’t understand what the wet stuff falling from the sky was.
WHAT ELSE? Hummmmm. I got some new toys to play with for my photography habit. I ordered a few slave flashes, umbrellas, and backgrounds. I’m still getting the hang of it, but getting some good results already. I told my Yoga Jedi Master Ally that I need a girlfriend, if for no other reason than the fact that I need a model so I don’t have to take so many pictures of my ugly mug while practicing and testing all of this stuff out.
These black and white photos make me wonder why anyone photographs people in color.
