5 at 34…And I’m Back!
So another year on this planet runs by. Yesterday was my 34th birthday and I went for a 5 mile run outside in the snow/slush. It was very sunny out, cold. I wore yak-tracks on my sneakers which made it possible to run up and down some hills. It was a slow run and it […]

While we’re on the subject of natural disasters – you may have heard that The Dirty Souf has been devastated by as many as two whole inches of snow since the weekend. Turns out, bringing a city to a halt isn’t all bad. And it’s funny to those of us who live under the constant […]

all fits
The lens arrived unexpectedly yesterday so I only had a chance to tinker briefly with it last night. So far my impression is that it’s very well constructed, the actions are very smooth for a still lens, and the IS makes a very noticeable difference when trying to keep it steady. So I brought the […]

stupid auto correct
Now that I’m doing most of my casual web browsing and emailing on my phone, I’m tussling with the auto correct on a regular basis. Clearly I’m not the only one. In fact, there’s a website dedicated to the trials and tribulations.
