Trying to journal a few things from the past weekend:
- My wife likes Ducatis and Triumphs. She thinks that a Nighthawk 250 and the Honda Rebel are ridiculously too small for me. In other news, I actually got Whitney to go to a motorcycle shop with me :-)
- I’m considering selling some of my Voigtlander R1 Rangefinder kit, particularly the 15mm Heliar f/4.5 and the 90mm f/3.5. I haven’t snapped any pictures with this camera in 2 years, and the 35mm and cannon 50mm f/1.2 are good enough. I keep waiting for the day when my kids go, “What’s that stuff you’re putting into that camera? ‘Film’…is that like a coating for light sensor? Where’s the 32GB memory card go in that thing? What do you mean it doesn’t use BATTERIES!?”
- I had chills and low-grade fever Saturday evening through Sunday morning, and still don’t feel 100%
- Currently reading Peter Egan’s excellent compillation Side Glances. It’s much the same old stuff–Peter buying old cars, stories of his childhood with his friend Pat Donnelly, long road trips hither and yon. It gets a bit repetitive, but so what? Part of me wants to be this guy when I grow-up, minus the Hepatitis C.
- Helped Whitney out with the 4 + 5-year old Sunday School class this week. Seven girls and one irrepressible boy, Noah.
- Saw an excellent free concert from the Central Kentucky Brass Trio at Christ the King Cathedral Sunday afternoon. Many thanks to Betsey Keating for watching Maria so Whitney and I could have some time together.
