Happy Birthday, Eli Bridges.  We miss you, buddy.
Went back to Bluegrass Church this morning.  Had a great time.

 
The Greeter
The Band
The Music Hall at 10:00 a.,m.














I had a good time photographing the band today, but when you can't get up and move around its a little dampening.  Taking photos of Tracey Grammar is a blast though.  She is so animated and present in her work.  I always get 4 times the amount of photos of her than the others.  
I have a much harder time photographing Jim Henry for just the same reasons that he is such a remarkable performer.  He acts as though it's no sweat, just rolls out of his fingers, you have no idea he's pulling off this remarkable sound.

And Annie is right above me and too close so I can't get a good perspective, which is too bad, because she too is animated. 












It really is fun shooting them and singing with them. This gig is a blast.  They are doing it again on May 17th if you wanna grab tickets.  





I went to the rookery a little before 6 tonight for a little fresh air.  The morning took everything out of me and I didn't get anything else done.  But a short trip to see the on going duck parade was importnat.

This photo reminds me of a painter I'm not naming.  He paints in large stabs of strong colors.  



A week has gone by and once again I have no answers, nor changes, but am still on the hamster wheel of medical oddities.  I hope something breaks this week.  Meanwhile, a new week begins.

March 20, 2026 Happy Happy Birthday, Clara Witty! Happy Spring.  Oh yes, we're ready for it. The difference between the rookery today and yesterday was big.  I was hoping a photo from each day would show the difference, but it doesn't.  There was much more open space today, but it showed mud not running water.  The running water continues in this stream across the whole thing.   So last night I did begin to think about starting a thread about preparing for death.  In our society that's such a negative statement, but in reality its positive.  Learning to talk about this stage of life, the stage I have just entered is healthy and helpful.   What has brought all this up for me is that I went through a series of tests looking for the cause of the pain I am in and the results are frightening.  They are not immediate, but they show the beginning of the deterioration of my body.  We're not supposed to talk about this stuff, but I had ...

  December 11, 2025 I got to see all three of my siblings this year, what a treat.  Also, I got to see all three spouses, double treat.  I only saw 2 of the next generation and then 4 of the next generation.  I guess we just don't live all that close any more and I have a hard time making it to holidays or doing any traveling at all. It was another day of no photography and no creative writing.  I did get some work done and I did go to LAVA, but my time of loneness was spent organizing the have to's in my life.  I also was in touch with many friends and making sure all were well.  All were well.  So again I offer no insights, I offer no entertainment, nothing really beautiful to look at.  But I am checking in and saying good night.  Here's to happy dreams.   Good night.
