Friday Feast

When I first started this blog, way back in 2005, Friday Night was a topic for comparison through the years.

Well it's now 4 years later, and we're back at the pizza place. This time the healthy salad is one of the choices we'd never make as one of that gang of 12 year-olds.

Hey, It's freezing...



The weather is just perfect for....


The view from my car window this morning. While I haven't really had time to go out and shoot with my Nikon D40, I've been carrying around a Canon A590 IS point and shoot so I capture things on the go. This morning was the perfect instance, the D40 is safely in the house but I got this as the car was warming up. What a messy morning hear in central NJ, another month and a half til spring.

The weather has been cold and snowy, and I just haven't had the opportunity to take my camera outside to catch the beautiful scenery. But I've still been taking some time to get the hang of my Nikon D40.

I really want to get out of the "Auto" mode and learn how to get some really nice shots. This is one shot inside with a little adjusting of the ISO.

We've been putting away the Christmas decorations, but these guys all seemed to congregate on the living room wall unit. Quite a crew, don't you think?

2009 Looking Up?


Looking Up

For 3 years I've been driving past these trees and just recently noticed that the branches are all pointing up!

As I was driving in this morning with my camera handy I'd thought it would be appropriate as the first Monday post, maybe 2009 would be an uplifting year!

Yes I know, Christmas is over and the New Year is well underway, but it's my first post in years.

I'm going to give this blog another try and hopefully it won't be three years before the next post

Happy 2009!

Friday Nights Have Changed!

1968: The "Original" Friday Night: eat dinner out with the rest of your 12 year old gang.
1975: "New" Friday Night: Payday, stop for drinks after work and party.
1982: "Improved" Friday Night: Dinner and a show with someone very special
1986: "Enhanced" Friday Night: Spending the evening home with your family
1993: "TGIF" Friday Night: Spend the evening watching all those shows on ABC with the kid
2000: "Freaky" Friday Night: Sitting at home worrying about the kid at those HS dances
2005: "Freaked Out" Friday Night: Sitting at home worrying about that kid starting to visit "clubs"

Jumping into the Fray

Blogging: Keeping a diary, journal, or log on the web.

New? Not really! Blogging has been around for a few years, and blogging interfaces like Blogger, www.blogger.com, have been improving and gaining ground for some time now. I've been reading business technology blogs for a couple of years now, this morning I took the plunge and set up my blog. This is the first blog I've created, and it was a snap.
