How I did it
How to buy a digital camera
It took me
4 months
It made me
oh so excited

How I did it: Birthday money! Some research on consumer reports. Shopping around at used camera stores, craigslist, ebay, etc. Went for a new package deal at the best local spot - Glaziers. Read how I did it…

I’m sitting in the basement computer lab, waiting for CAD to install in my laptop. Gonna give it a good go tonight. Time to get back on the saddle. My SketchUp drawings don’t print well and are hard to edit. Its been a few years since I’ve done any real drafting and I hope it goes easy, like riding a bike.

I can’t believe the quarter is almost over. And I’ve just found some conviction for my project. I am wishing for time to slow down and speed up at the same time. Gotta try and focus on the moment. Remember that I am learning lots along the way. I forgot about growing pains.

This is so good for me. I say that to myself a million times a day. This is so good for me.

Bed before 10 2 days ago

Just a few words before my head crashes into the pillow. This morning I smiled when I turned on the radio and it said – the sun will rise in one minute. And it light up a beautiful clear cold day. Felt like Colorado weather.

A squeeze on the toe 1 week ago

Radio interview with Cliff Mass. I put his book – The Weather of the Pacific Northwest – on my wishlist. Progress in studio. Coming home to a big smile on a happy wet dog. Sorting out our words. Lemon ginger tea before bed. The scratchy sound of Christian drawing.
