Taking it Easy

Lots of changes coming at work. Mostly good. I don’t fear change, but if I don’t understand what’s coming, I can become skeptical. Couple that was the condition of the economy, mostly lame candidates in the 2012 GOP primary (I love politics!) and that can add up to a lot of uncertainty.

This guy helps run a bed and breakfast tucked in Geneva of 38. I wonder what it’s like to get to that age where you’ve seen it all and finally get to relax and run a B&B.

So stay classy, kick back and take it easy once in a while. Also, shooting at f1.4 allowed me to shoot at ISO800 instead of ISO3200. Time for primes. But need money. Someday!

Sorry this a little on the older side! Making a stronger effort to get fresh content up here!

Final today for my graduate class called The Press and the Presidency. Loving this class, teacher is great and the content even more so. It has made me a little angry with modern news coverage of elections. But once this final is over, I’m done until September! I am so sick of essays

Lots going on, some new ideas are popping in my head!
