December 12

I have a very vague memory of purchasing this ornament. I believe it was back in the nineties when Lloyd and I went to Skyline Drive and stayed in Shenandoah National Park in a wonderful little cabin. In my mind I can picture the scene. I can even picture the photographs I took although I cannot lay my hands on them right now.
I remember how much we enjoyed that little log cabin. It was small but it had indoor plumbing and electricity and a pit outside for cooking, so it was like tent camping only with a few extra comforts.  I remember calling to see if we could get a place at the last minute and it just so happened that someone had cancelled.  We were so happy to have the opportunity. Looking back on this now, I'm thinking maybe early next summer we'll try that again, Lord willing.  Lloyd loved the peace and quiet and I could stand to unplug for a few days.

Social Media Fast Day 1/2 I have been considering a social media fast.  Unbeknownst to me, someone I know was on a week long fast. She reported about how beneficial it was and I took that as a confirmation that this was the time for me. September 1 sneaked up on me and I had some commitments for posting some prayer requests, but once that was done, I uninstalled Facebook (my primary Social Media) form my phone. I can pretty well ignore Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, LinkedIn and the like but Facebook is my constant itch that I have to keep scratching.

I also realize the other downside of social media for me and that's all the political vitriol.  As much as I don't get sucked into it, as much as I scroll past...

Just a few more memories

There were a few photos that I didn't post on the entry about our trip to Boca Raton.  I'm sure I have a bunch more in various places. I figure we gained 7 pounds, 700 friends, 7,000 memories and 7,000,000 photographs. Video from Awards Night

Baseball Thoughts on a Winter Day

I can't stop thinking about baseball. I'm happy for the moment (winter and all) but it would be so nice if it were a hot August night and we were watching the O's at Camden Yards. So I made this video today. It's some O's game footage from personal photography, misc. photos (amateur baseball players), and scans of much of my Orioles memorabilia from the early eighties. I hope you enjoy it.
