June and July Update
It’s been getting steadily hotter. I don’t want to get ahead of myself here, but it doesn’t stop anytime soon.
Karen moved up in mid-May. The transition was, from the point of view of our relationship, easy and seamless. Again I don’t want to get ahead of myself here, but it keeps getting better.
I picked up an off-camera flash and have had three photo shoots so far – all more-or-less successful. The full accounting of my photographic fun is found over at roadside fruit stand.
Karen, her son and I went down to Sam’s Throne and had a grand time wandering about the woods. There was a lot of wind, and a ton of locusts. It was a biblical time out in the wilderness.
I helped my friend Max with a project of his using technology which I wasn’t at all familiar with, and it went (from my point of view) pretty well.
I managed to hang with the yoga class, and had a photo shoot with my instructor, but now my instructor moved away and I am much less motivated. I try to carry on on my own but the move has gotten in the way. We’ll see.
Karen and I wandered up to Toronto this last weekend and that was a good time. The weather wasn’t that much cooler, but we’ll take whatever we can get. There was lots of food and conversation and walking around. We visited Niagara Falls and rode the Maid of the Mist. I met some folk I only knew from online interaction and got to hang out with Max and Sarah, which is always a good time. Karen sprained her ankle just before we left, which was not such a good time – but she’s a trooper.
My time at the moment is taken by moving my stuff to the new place (I’ve moved out west). Stephen and I have been meeting semi-regularly but there’s not been a lot of movement in that area. I finished up a paying project at work and am now back to a couple internal projects for the foreseeable.
