that didnt take long

The wheels came off of the whole one post one pic one tweet thing and there’s no good reason. I feel like my eleven year old. I just forgot. I’m still shooting for the pic and post thing but the tweets will have to show up when they surface. I am not a twitter guy. I use this thing on the iPad called Flipboard that lets me read the tweets I follow and Facebook like a magazine. Honestly that’s why I started the picaday thing because the people who only post words make for boring magazine reading. I already write in short bursts so I figured I would cater to another segment of my audience who cant tolerate more than a couple of sentences. Even the shitty pictures make me laugh like a couple days ago when I was bored sitting in traffic coming out of the city so I decided to take a phone picture of it. Great idea but apparently when your having a mild full body tremor you don’t really know its happening and the picture turned out like Michael J. Fox was riding shotgun taking the thing. We were at a dead calm stop and I sent the pic in without really looking at it. I am a safe driver.

You think those texting death safety commercials are bad imagine my poor kids shame talking into the camera. “my dad was taking pictures and posting them to his online diary.” Ouch, that one stung a little to type. And then there was the one that didn’t make it to air because we started moving.

This was supposed to be a shot of my hand holding my iPad just like the huge billboard but to take it I had to completely turn sideways and lean way over toward the window. Just as I was trying to get my big fat finger to touch the part of the glass that represents the button we started moving so the pad god dropped on the seat and I turned to face forward and drive like I was taught. The camera fired proving how spectacularly stupid I really am. By the way if you have wet age macular degeneration all of my pictures look crystal clear. I am a niche photographer.

 

Ow I

I don’t know what is going on with my eyehole but it feels like the ball isn’t there and someone is ringing it like a chuck wagon dinner bell.

Seriously I have been in eleven solid hours of meetings and the last one turned into irritating annoying pain. Then we went to a wine bar which is as fun for me as a couple hours in Nordstrom watching my wife try on clothes we can’t afford.

This trip is almost over and I can’t wait to get home. I can’t believe that I’m walking around downtown St. Paul Minnesota without a jacket. This weather is freakin me out and I have a feeling we are going to pay the piper at some point this winter.

Cool view out the window though.
