Birthday gift from my son
My son couldn’t wait to give me his gift. He’s so excited to kick my butt in multiplayer Lego battles.

Couch To 5k, week 1 done.
I finished my first week of Couch To 5k feeling great.
I’ve never been a runner and my adult life has been spent mostly at a computer desk. The idea of running is really intimidating. But I like to hike and I used to go mountain biking whenever I got the chance.
I’ve tried running a few times before. It’s a lot of work. I got sore legs. My heart was going to explode. I gave up. I felt guilty.

Flashing some berries
The tupelo swamp at Ferry Beach State Park, in Saco Me has a lot of berry laden trees in late summer. I found these right next to the boardwalk, but they were backlit. I used my 550EX, hand held with a flash cord, to put a little spec highlight and give some shape to them.

Last day of school.
Today is Delsin’s last day at Gov. John Fairfield elementary school.
He is holding a gift for his teacher and has a blown out croc (shoe).
He was in a multi-age class (1st & 2nd) with the same teacher for both years he was at Fairfield. Prior to that, he was at a private Kindergarten in Portland. He has been a challenging student, but I’ve seen him mature a lot in these two years of public school.
We’ve added a routine of structured home-schooling to our day. I think it will help impress upon him that the lessons are to be learned and remembered not just processed and back to what you were doing.
We’ll see.
Health and good fortune, Delly!

Action Shot with a Point and Shoot
Sometimes you get lucky. Luck favors the prepared, though.
I’ve been using my Canon G9 long enough that I kind of have the timing figured out for shooting action shots. More or less.
Usually, I compose first, expecting the action. Then it’s a matter of pressing the shutter release. This is the _only_ shot I took of our friend Tanner hitting water balloons with a fat bat. If I had my druthers, I would have preferred to see his face, so maybe a moment sooner on the shutter button next time.
Interesting question: is it still a “shutter release” on digital cameras with no shutters?

Wireless Keyboard: Connection Lost
This is the most vexing problem I am having with my MacBook. Some OS update seems to have boned my bluetooth keyboard connection.
This keyboard thing has a “sort of” fix where you put a pea sized piece of aluminum foil into the battery well before putting in the batteries. This has made the problem less frequent for me, but I still see my connection coming up and going down intermittently.
What the hell kind of fix is that?
(Thanks to Mathew Cropper for the image.)
