Today: having a women-only party at my sister's house
Tomorrow: daughter's soccer game in the morning, reception at the gallery in the evening--my first time having photos in a show!
Sunday: gallery sitting in the afternoon
And somewhere in between that, homework: writing a compare/contrast paper for Act 1 Julius Caesar & Act 3 Othello; writing (and revising) a poem for my Creative Writing class and working on evoking instead of describing; reading Piers Plowman; and, of course, Math. I guess. He never actually assigns anything and there are no dates on the syllabus for the homework.

Congrats on the photos!

Congrats on the photos!

Thanks! It's not a juried show so anyone could enter anything they wanted, as long as they pay the entrance fee. Still, it's a step in the right direction. Now if only the pictures would sell so I could recoup some costs...

As for the women's party...I know you guys have imaginations: use them. You probably wouldn't be too far off track this time.

Took delivery of an electric poor-man's leaf mulcher to try to tame last year's 350 50-gallon bag job.

Now I'm souping it up with mods to be able to quickly handle the volume. Most important lesson I learned so far is - big mother gauge electric cord, no branches or twigs.

They promise 1:10, I'd be thrilled with 1:4.

Feels like I'm about 75% through mine...maybe a walk/sprint outside tomorrow.
Just completed last transplant....the left downhill liner's tongue attached to its corresponding thermofit AT liner, which then go into downhill boots = highly successful = just great fit/performance in my boots.

Cool! Wish I could be there to support your first showing.
As for the homework.......Yuck! I was never a good student and still have no idea how you do what you do. Kudos!

My weekend holds a lot of fall tasks and dinner with family on Sunday. Pretty normal, and not so exciting.
