My wife took a photo yesterday. A brilliant, engaging photo. It possibly ranks up there with one of the best photos she’s ever taken. She chalks it down to fortuitous circumstances. While those circumstances undoubtedly played a part, I believe the ultimate credit goes to the fact that she is an artist at heart; and, having taken at least a photo a day for 8 months she is becoming quite the photographer as well.
I liked the photo so much, I immediately grabbed it as wallpaper for my computer. MB, it’s a fantastic photo. You should be proud.
The original is here; you can also see some of the others she took at the same time.
In the background of my photo you can see the map I posted on the 17th that adorns my cube wall.
Last night was a football match. I detest playing the Jayhawks. They’re sore losers & even more sore winners. Perhaps I should care less, or more to the point, they should whinge less and cheat less and be generally much better sports about the game. I am closing on forty and can no longer compete at the level I wish to play. I’m frustrated with my play, my decisions and my overall attitude. When the other team decides to spoil what little fun I am having with their capricious comments and dramatic cheating I get even more frustrated. I sometimes wonder why I still play. I need to find an over-40 league and get away from these whiney babies.
Cheers.
