It's cloudy this morning, with a 60% chance of rain in the next hour. I'll believe it when I see it. Out my window I can see the rising sun peeking through a crack in the clouds in the east. I don't think it's gonna rain this morning.
I was on campus yesterday to conduct a skills lab for our students. It's the first time we have been together as a group this semester. It's the first time that I met most of them, other than talking with them via Zoom. I discovered that one of them lives next door to a doctor I worked with for many years. Another is the cousin of the husband of one of my first wife's nieces.
It was challenging to maintain any sort of social distancing. We lost one of our rooms because another class got displaced from their clinical site due to a COVID outbreak. I had made a schedule that had staggered start and end times, but pretty much everyone showed up at the same time. It's the first time they have been together as a class, and I think everyone wanted to see each other. In normal times we would have had a pot luck. I don't know what I would have made. Maybe some cranberry bread.
I took a photograph of the moon the other night, for no discernible reason. I don't really even remember doing it. I think it was a few days after the blue moon. Anyway, here is the moon.
Somewhere in this mess, I have a list of things I thought I could write about if I went back to writing here. I can't find it, but it's probably a stale list anyway. Many of my random thoughts have a short shelf life.
One of the last of my fall color shots for this year. This has a sort of spooky feel for me. In spite of everything, I managed to get some good pictures this fall. I expect most everything is gone now.
I put down a deposit on a new camera the other day. It's not in stock yet, so I am waiting. It's back to Canon for me after a short excursion into Olympus cameras. They're pretty good, but they just aren't Canon.
I'm glad I didn't sell my old lenses. My old Canon 5D (and the lenses) will be 16 years old next month. I bought them just before my birthday in 2004. At the time, it was pretty expensive, but I think got my money's worth out of it. It's been a journey.
This used to be one of my favorite coffee cups. Now it is relegated to the back of the cupboard, and when it is the only choice I sigh, and reluctantly pour. I don't know what happened between us. Such is life.
