I’ve decided to blog for half an hour a week. I’m a very slow writer when I’m trying to be funny, so these posts are going to be short and funny or long and boring. I can tell already this is going to be the long and boring type. Also, there will be no editing after the post, so typos are staying in. I plan to post regularly on Wednesday evening, but this week will be an exception.

I’ve been planning for the last few days for Thanksgiving dinner. I’ll be cooking as usual, with Jennifer’s cousin stopping by for dinner as well as one of my coworkers. In all, I think there will be about eight hours of cooking involved. The menu:

• Turkey (butterflied)
• sage cornbread stuffing with sausage
• garlic mashed potatoes
• sweet potatoes
• corn pudding
• apple crisp

At least half of the cooking I can do Wednesday (which is why I’m blogging on Tuesday). Thursday, there will be a family & friends football game in the morning, so I don’t want to leave it all for Thursday. I don’t have any plans in particular for the weekend, however the next weekend I’ll be going on a multi-day shoot in Palm Springs. It should be pretty darn interesting.

I don’t remember if I blogged at all about the fitness competition I helped shoot a few weeks ago; I had learned quite a bit from shooting the Hooters pageant in Vegas, and applied those learnings to the fitness shoot. One of the things I learned is that I really need f/2.8 lenses to shoot indoor events, but I think that I’ll just have to wait until Canon comes out with the 5D Mark II, and I’ll hope the lower noise will let me shoot saleable photos at ISO 3200.
