When it's springtime in Alaska...

It's forty below, Johnny Horton tells us. However, when it's January in Tucson, we sit in the mid-sixties.

Things here are going well, but kind of slow. I got a massive amount of laundry done yesterday, which was good. Amy is work, work, working on her capstone project, and it is looking really nice.

It's hard to get used to the weather here. I keep forgetting that it's only January, because it feels like mid-spring would in Logan. I don't miss the snow one bit, or the cold for that matter. But I do miss the seasons changing. Here, there are only two seasons, cold and hot, and if you just looked at pictures, you would notice no difference between them. But, I can deal with that, I suppose.

Anywho, thats about all for now. I leave you with a picture from last Saturday, from Sabino Canyon.

Take it easy, all.

Second today...

Here we have it, folks, two posts in one day. What more could you want?

Anyway, I said earlier that I would update when I heard back on different things.

Firstly, I got the job that I interviewed for, that is very exciting, and my joy knows no bounds.

Also, I got my film processed today, and I would like to put in a plug for Photographic Works in Tucson, they were very friendly and provided excellent service. Check them out (click the words), maybe they have some services that you can use.

Here is what I got:

The mountains from our patio area.

Anyway, thats about it for now. Not much else to report.

Take it easy all.

Small calzone (feeds 2)...

Yum


Well, last night Amy and I got ourselves a calzone from the northside Mama's Pizza. If you are ever in Tucson, eat there. It will make your belly happy.

Things here are pretty normal, really. Not much to report. I finally used a sheet of 4 x 5 film, now I just have to get in to get it processed. More on that later.

I went in for a job interview yesterday as well, more on that as soon as I know something.

Soooo, not really an exciting update right now, but at least it's a post.

I'll leave you now with some fun and exciting pictures. These are as they were scanned, no altering. So, sorry for dust spots and such.


The Family Christmas Portrait


The 'Rents
(The 2 pictures above were taken with a c.1950 Kodak Duoflex IV. With flashbulbs. The world is a better place with flashbulbs.)

My Grandpa (Earl). This is such a classic picture, I had to toss it in there.


Rollin' in the rumble seat.

Well, thats about it for now. Take it easy, all.
