Portrait of the missus and the baby. Took this quick snapshot while the three brothers were playing in the splash pad after we got hamburgers and went to the park. 📷
Morning smiles.
Finally got around to importing my CD (!) archive of old iPhotos libraries into Lightroom and came across this gem of an iPhone 3G screenshot.
On Friday, we got our first date night since the before times thanks to my mom who came to visit.
Date Night, the first since the Before Times.
Got some developed that has been sitting for a few months. This shot, cropped from 6x6 medium format, was among the gems.

My mom came into town this weekend and is enjoying every minute she can with her grandkids.
Oof. The 3yo just spilled cup of noodles on himself after insisting he could “do it himself.” Poor kiddo.

We did a mini adventure this morning.
The baby was up all night, so she wasn’t having it,
But her brothers, had a great time.
Home now, out of the afternoon heat.

Whenever I dip my toe into what’s going on with Twitter, I’m always struck by how the outrage level is always a “10”, no matter the topic.
I think was Bruno Maçaes who put it best, Twitter is where we reenact the French Revolution every day.
I was told there would be NO clouds in Arizona. No clouds! I demand to speak with a manager.
Got my first MRI today. Looks like a bulged disc in my lower back. Wanted to take a photo of the machine or of me in the unit but giant medical grade magnets do not play well with consumer electronics.
No, not good news at all
In China, Apple Compromises on Censorship and Surveillance
Tim Cook, Apple’s chief executive, has said the data is safe. But at the data center in Guiyang, which Apple hoped would be completed by next month, and another in the Inner Mongolia region, Apple has largely ceded control to the Chinese government.
Chinese state employees physically manage the computers. Apple abandoned the encryption technology it used elsewhere after China would not allow it. And the digital keys that unlock information on those computers are stored in the data centers they’re meant to secure.
That’s a wrap on spring soccer. Nacho had his last game today. His coach (and coach’s eldest) were just terrific.
I know sports are good for instilling character, but to see it happen in real time over these last few weeks—just splendid.
