35 days working from home in the book. I did discover a new positive about working from home this week. I had to go into the physical computer mine twice this week because Apple products suck. They really do. I have nothing positive to say about them. But that isn’t… Read More »You Know, I Hurt Myself As Well

I need to start this post by announcing that the Sharp family is making laundry detergent like crazy and donating it to area food banks like IMPACT and the Toreador Pantry. However, they need more laundry detergent jugs, so they have set up a garbage can at the end of… Read More »Elainie Homecoming Ch. 2
This is the last collection of random pictures from 2019. Everything else that is left in the 2019 backlog belongs to a collection of pictures. Such as family portraits or senior pictures or a wedding. Enjoy: I can almost see the light at the end of the 2019 backlog. But… Read More »Stochastic
The last day of the Camping World Bowl Road Trip consisted of leaving our hotel in Kentucky and driving home. We only really made a couple stops. One stop was in Metropolis to visit Superman.

31 straight weeks of double digit submissions!! The third straight week that I didn’t send any reminder text messages this morning and still made double digits like it ain’t no thing, but a chicken wing on a string.

30 days working from home in the book. Although for the first time, I had to go into the mine to do something that couldn’t be done from home. I can’t put into words how much I hate Apple products. The fire of a thousands suns. That is the heat… Read More »ADM vs. Boone
Day 4 of the road trip was a grind. We left Orlando and drove for like 15 hours to get back to Kuttawa, Kentucky. The only real stop we made was a fancypants gas station in Georgia that sold pecans. I kinda thought the pecans down there would be cheaper… Read More »Camping World Bowl Road Trip Day 4
One of the products of all this home times is that I have started up on THE CANVAS WALL PROJECT again. What started as the accent wall in my living room and then turned into the Friend Wall and then became the 9 Emotions Project wall, was turned into the… Read More »The 2019 Howards – Subset Dos
After the game we went back to the hotel and took a nap. Well some of us took a nap. Some of us might have scrolled through Cyclone Twitter while everybody else napped. Once the batteries were recharged, we went to a Brazilian Steakhouse that Jorge knew about. It was… Read More »Camping World Bowl Road Trip Day 3 – Alligators
Tonight would have been the last youth group of the year. Late last week I had to officially cancel the mission trip because the organization we go with cancelled all mission trips before July 12. We would’ve had an opportunity to reschedule, but none of the potential dates really worked… Read More »A & P #1
Day 3 was the only day we spent entirely in Orlando. It was one full day too many. Orlando is flat out one of the worst cities I’ve ever visited. It is dirty. It is poorly laid out. There is no culture. There is no music. There is no historical… Read More »Camping World Bowl Road Trip Day 3 – The Game

This is a bit of a different walk down memory lane. One of the first things I did when I started working from home was cleaning out what I guess what you would call my spare desk. I didn’t want to dump a bunch of work stuff on my normal… Read More »Chris’ New House 2009
We’ve reached a point in the backlog where most of what is left is portraits. Editing portraits is the hardest for me for a variety of reasons. At least group portraits. The solo portrait isn’t such a big deal. Couples is no big deal. But groups. Woof! There is a… Read More »The 2019 Howards – Subset Uno
