Last week I was buying a Mother's Day card (amazingly early for me), and after sifting through a handful of awful cards, finally settled on one. The thing is, it was strangely familiar. As if I'd bought it before. While I won't know until my mom opens it, my gut is telling me that I've given her this card at least once before.
My proposal to the greeting card makers: there must be at least a five year break before you can sell the card again. I figure the recipient will have forgotten by then.
(God, I'm starting to sound like Andy Rooney!)
It's only one month until I go on my 10 day Alaska Cruisetour! We recently got upgraded to a Verandah Suite on the ship, so I'm pretty happy about that.
Anyhow, I've started preparing my photo gear for the trip. Here's what I'll be bringing:
From the personal collection:
EOS-40D - my "everyday" lens will be the 17-55 EF-S IS
70 - 200 F4L IS lens - replaces the non-IS version that I previously owned
1.4X Extender II - for some extra zoom
From LensRentals.com:
300 mm F4L IS - I wanted to bring a 400, but they're just too big to carry around. With the extender, I'll have an 420 mm F5.6 IS lens, which should be fine for daylight shooting (or so I hope).
I hope we get nice weather and lots of great scenery!
Flame may have just turned one year old, but that he hasn't lost his kitten ways. Today I walked into the kitchen to find one bag of cat treats on the floor, ripped open, and another on the counter. Normally, they're kept in the cabinet above the stove. Both Flame and Zoe know how to open cabinet doors, and Flame knows where the kitty treats are. Need I say more?
The evidence:
The suspect:
I'm currently thinking of what the proper sentence might be... no belly rubs for a week?
