Planning
I haven’t taken a film photo since late August last year. August 22, 2025, I think. Almost seven months ago. I think it’s time. The cameras are calling me. The unopened rolls of film are calling to me. Creativity is calling me.
Also, tomorrow is the 250th anniversary of the end of the siege of Boston. The British army occupied the city in April 1775, and March 17, 1776 was the day we booted their sorry asses out of town. First they sailed to Nova Scotia where they hung out for a bit before heading south and occupying New York. As a Boston Red Sox fan I say that the English troops could have New York and all of those Yankees fans.

My step daughter is flying home from a trip tomorrow. I don’t know what time yet, but I think she’s landing in the early afternoon. If I have to go into the city to get her anyway… maybe I could go in a couple of hours early and take a camera or two with me and do an Evacuation Day celebratory photo walk around the place? I have the day off from work already so… weather permitting… maybe it might happen? It’s also St Patrick’s Day. I’ll wear a green shirt (though my red hair should be enough to mark my Irishness) to cover that base too but I don’t drink so I won’t be partaking in quite the full celebration there. Oh well.
How does that sound? A chilly morning photo walk followed by picking up my step daughter at the airport? That sounds like a plan to me (though there’s probably a 75% chance that I’ll wimp out on the photo walk part of it… okay, so maybe it’s closer to a 95% chance).
In unrelated news, I am working from home today. Someone put a fidget spinner on my desk and I cannot. Stop. Playing. With. It. Help!
