i’m on my third proposal at work, and i had forgotten that you need headshots and bios for this sort of thing.

so i had to break out the camera this morning, perch it on a file cabinet or two, and take pretentious, thoroughly awkward headshots of myself posing like an idiot.

not exactly my favorite part of the first week, needless to say.

it’s the most wonderful time of the year again — when summer flex hours start, and good conservationists get every other Friday off.

a couple months ago, the lady and i were looking for photographs of mount pleasant to hang on our walls when i realized that i hadn’t taken any — like none in the four years i’ve been here, outside of a couple batches from snowstorms.

so, during my flex days this year i’m going to spend some time wandering around the neighborhood.

this week i knocked off all of ingleside, 18th and 19th streets, most of lamont street and half of newton. map of the route here, and photos below.

a friend showed up today with an actual, honest-to-God film Polaroid camera. it’s quite possible that this is the first time that sparklet’s ever been captured on film — and frankly, could be her last. it’s all pretty crazy if you think about where we’ve come from in just the last ten years.

we don’t have a lot that passes as family traditions — my father cooking great breakfasts, his menu for thanksgiving/christmas dinner.

somehow a small wooden rocking chair has lasted through the decades of our tushies to be featured in three generations worth of 18 month birthday photos.

that’s gramma on the top right, and it’s been 65 years (almost to the day) between her picture and the one we took today with sparklet.

amazing.

in case anybody was wondering, you can drive about 2.18 miles with a really expensive camera on the roof of a 2008 prius without it falling off.

i don’t think i would recommend it — just sayin’ it’s possible.
