– Yesterday was pleasantly intense. I left work around 2:30, and spent a good part of the afternoon finishing photographing Edgewater Beach. I’ll be utilizing these photos in the development of a play: Guns and Love. Back home, I took a nap, than worked on writing and wedding planning.

On Friday.

I left work at 2:30, rode back north, and packed and worked around the apartment for about an hour before Jess picked me up. We spent the next two hours getting out of Chicago. The back door, alas, failed.

The following Letter to the Editor of the Journal sufficiently explains the situation, and summarizes my views on the issue as well:

This is exactly what the Flint city police need to concentrate their crime fighting efforts on – basketball hoops [“Hoops no match for cops’ night raids,” May 14, Page A1].

Tasteless, I know. And certainly precedented. But the observation isn’t so utterly stripped of truth so as to be pointless, or so recited as to be tired. And for that matter, if I ceded the option of satire, now I wouldn’t be much fun at all, would I?

It sticks, like the beginning of John:

In our lives there is routine, and our lives are routines, and we live life through routine.

With so many daily routines, it’s been easy for me to lose sight of what a beautiful and spectacular year this has become.

Whenever possible, all images posted here are original.

The pictures posted for Lunas are part of my documentation expeditions around Edgewater Beach. The background is an image of the Foster Street beach. When I arrived, the southern bank of the beach was quite busy, but to the north, it was almost empty except for the three people shown walking along the shore, one of whom was wearing a very long sari that was dragging in the sand.

– Everything I said about “guilty pleasures” yesterday must’ve been heard somewhere. There were complications with the laser and I ended up sticking around until almost six. So it looks like, by the end of today, I might have racked up something almost equivalent to a forty-hour week.

COMMENTS:
– This Week: Guilty Please. But it’s not my fault! With Memorial Day approaching, one of our busiest doctors has taken the week off, with the net result that there’s been a whole lot less to do at clinic.

SHAMING THE STAINED TOBOGGAN

Cycle 1.
~5/20/90 – ~6/20/90

Detail Level: II
Interest Level: IV

There are only a couple details I clearly remember of this important, frenetic month. As the deal on our house was signed to paper, and I realized that leaving was inevitable, I was incredibly attached to Flint.
