Grammar is really not interesting for that long.
My brother and SiL have become huuuuuuge runners. They did a 59 miler last year, and his goal is to do a 100 mile marathon someday. I can't even fathom running down the block.
Mmm. Wife soup. I must've done good.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I've got a whole bunch of photographs printed out and spread over the floor, and I keep staring at them, hoping that they'll arrange themselves into a coherent portfolio, somehow.

It seems like it would be hard to assemble your own photos into a portfolio in the same way that it's hard for a writer to edit their own writing -- you're too close to it, because it's your own creative work.

That's exactly the problem, Steph.

I adore your photos, Tom. I wish I could offer some helpful suggestions on how to proceed.
Teppy, I feel your pain - literally - when it comes to the plantar fasciitis. I'm about ready to ask for a foot transplant.
Today was productive at least as far as getting plants in the ground or into planters goes.

Well, here's a first stab at a portfolio site.
Now I need are better project titles than "Color" and "B&W", and a domain name.

I'm not sticking to my order of importance for tasks. I guess I am working from both ends instead of linearly on my list.
Now I need to :
take pics and list the things for sale - Done 3
label the storage bins
mop the kitchen/living room - did half
file the next pile of papers in living room
and if that gets done:
hang up clothes in bedroom
fold laundry & put away - did half
vacuum bedroom

Well, having gorgeous photos collected in one spot is certainly a good place to start, Tom.
Several themes stand out for me: shadows, architectural shapes, and graffiti. Perhaps something like that's a place to start? What do you think of as you're looking for a good shot? Are there thought processes or plans that could be organizing principles? Maybe your neighborhood, excursions, adventures?

I've done nothing much this gorgeous, sunny weekend.
I just made a vagina geode cake for a birthday party, and then discovered that grapefruit juice in margaritas is effin' delightful.
...I did the dishes and changed the bed, showered and put on makeup, so that's something, I suppose...
