So as I mentioned in a previous post, I went for a motorcycle ride with Shana. it was... complicated. It was supposed to be a birthday ride this month, but she was about to move back to Atlanta so it was the 17th instead.
I hung out with Shana all day on Sunday. I hope a post will follow. For now a preview in the form of a couple of portraits that, whether she intended to or not, Shana took of the two of us.

Tuesday when I posted about the fact that I was about to go on a tour of the US Capitol I was thinking of a picture from one of the previous times I was there.

This is way, way past time. But I want to have it down so that I always remember. Plus, this is just one example of when filmcritic was( really wonderful to me. )

I was laying around on my bed around 02:00 and there was NOTHING on TV. Then it hit me: I have a DVD player now. Technically I've had one for 4 years, but I love playing on my laptop so much that I've only used it as a DVD player 3-4 times in those years
