Tomorrow is October! And October 1 is the start of the fourth quarter of 2008. Yes, folks, we’re winding down the year of 2008. I know- didn’t it just start? How can this be? But let me tell you: time, that’s how. Time moves whether you like it or not. That is what I have [...]

My Shaky Relationships with Members of Columbia’s Small Business Community
September 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Endless Blathering, Rants/Raves
I am in sort of a rotten mood today. Uck. I dropped off two pairs of pants to be hemmed at a tailor at Crossroads Shopping Center. If you’re familiar with Columbia, it’s at the corner of Broadway and Stadium Blvd. I hate Crossroads. There’s only one way into the parking lot, and that’s from [...]

O-bah-mah… Get Yourself an Education
September 26th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering
I DID get out last night for the last Twilight Festival, helping out the Obama campaign. I walked around with a clipboard, trying to get people to register to vote or update their registrations. (Last day is October 8, friends!) I was not that successful, mostly because people had already registered or updated in the [...]

Politicking!
September 25th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering
Wow, the politics these days… I can hardly tear myself away from television and blogs. It’s all leading up to what should be a pretty good debate tomorrow night. I have plans to watch it downtown with the Obama volunteers. At least, I hope so. I should probably see what others are doing as well, [...]

Bluestem 25th Anniversary Party
September 22nd, 2008 · No Comments · Events
Last weekend, I was the photographer at the 25th anniversary party for Bluestem Missouri Crafts, one of my favorite stores in downtown Columbia. It was a great celebration of the dedication and work of the women who co-own the store. In the above picture, Columbia mayor Darwin Hindman recognizes the owners of Bluestem in appreciation for their involvement [...]

Rant: The Fallacy of the No-Bake Cookie
September 19th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Endless Blathering, Rants/Raves
You know, there’s a certain fallacy to the no-bake cookie. I’d like to spend a moment talking to you about that. I like no-bake cookies. I like them a lot. But no-bake cookies imply a certain ease of preparation, I think. I mean, the whole idea is crazy. A cookie you don’t have to bake! [...]

Like, Everything Going On In My Life Right Now
September 19th, 2008 · 1 Comment · Endless Blathering, Movies/TV, Photography
And, here it is, Friday. It seems like I spend the whole week looking forward to Friday, but then when it gets here, I look back wistfully on a week of my life that has passed. That’s kind of odd, I have to say. What’s up for me this weekend? Well, more photo work. I [...]

Things I Should Be Doing, Things I’m Doing
September 18th, 2008 · No Comments · Endless Blathering
I was all geared up today to go to the Twilight Festival this evening and help with the Obama campaign, but now it’s 4:45pm and I just want to go home instead. This is the kind of attitude that I had towards the gym when we used to go after work, which is why I [...]

Jeff City Photo Club: September Meeting
September 16th, 2008 · No Comments · Jeff City Photo Club, Nature & Landscapes
This month’s contest theme for the <a href= “http://www.jeffcityphotoclub.com/”>Jefferson City Photo Club</a> was ‘farm scene’. I went out early on a morning a couple of weeks ago to get started on these photos, which was good because I didn’t really have another chance to try again after that. I had a couple of photos in mind [...]

Inside Columbia; Overlooking the Pacific
September 9th, 2008 · No Comments · In Print, Nature & Landscapes, Photography
I was part of the Inside Columbia magazine’s 080808 Photo Essay, which was printed in the September 2008 issue that just came out. The idea was to capture ‘one moment’ in time, on August 8, 2008, at 8:08am. Here is the shot that I submitted and which was included. I didn’t really have an idea [...]
