Narrowed our dozen or so choices down to two houses, putting in app for our 1st choice today. Should know by Thurs or Fri. Fingers crossed. #
@garrettlisi If there’s a photograph available somewhere I’d love to see. #
@abqtrucker Thanks! #
The the world isn’t set up to be smooth and easy for nomadic, unconventional people who don’t follow or feed into the larger consumer grid. #

Took Shane to the Thomas Creek trailhead, a favorite hike when I lived here not far from the hideout where we caught our first shooting star #

QOTD (or, “where did I go wrong?”)

Me (in jest) to Shane and Ryan: “We should get grandma and grandpa’s playing cards and play a game of poker and drink some beer.”

Ryan (17): “But… I have to work tomorrow.”

@greggdigresses I should probably double-check that after last time, huh? #
@whatwuff and @jabamba You two can subsidize it for $50/mo each, and use it anytime. #
@greggdigresses Speaking of that, when are you coming back? #
@iChris See, but then you’d have missed that beautiful morning. #

Me in middle school

My mom has a basket of old photos in her room, and going through it has given us some great laughs (and much embarrassment) over the years. Today I pulled out this class photo to show Sarah because I was the same age here as she is now. I think we all must have had various iterations of these characters in our middle school classes. See the large version to read.

Around Reno

I’d be a mess as a professional photographer. I can’t stand carrying large, unwieldy things around with me everywhere I go — if it doesn’t fit in my jeans pocket, it inevitably gets left behind.

So last Christmas when we upgraded my portable Sony F717 for a Canon EOS 20D SLR with a large lens, despite how much I was looking forward to getting my hands on it, my shooting habits eventually slowed to a trickle and then nearly stopped altogether. I can’t help it: I don’t shoot for ooohhs and aaahhs, I shoot to share moments and views, lots of those being unpredictable and spontaneous, so I’d happily sacrifice photo quality for portability. That camera sat and gathered dust for eight months.

Nonetheless, since arriving in Reno I’ve started heaving it over my shoulder again anytime I go out. You can find a growing Around Reno series here.
