Wandering Home

Sometimes it's looking back that fuels forward momentum.

last night's election was incredible.  i just hope that the tide of change keeps moving, keeps gathering momentum.  as high as this nation is feeling right now, we have so much potential for falling hard.  i just wish that the change in political attitude had impacted the ballot referendums.  at least three measures passed limiting gay rights, making today rather bitter-sweet.  now i'm just waiting for the results on california's prop 8.  i just don't understand how so many people can be comfortable with treating 10% of the population as second-class citizens.  we are unequal under the law.

 i've noticed a pattern here recently.  there's post after post of photos without writing.  and despite the old "picture's worth a thousand words" adage, the thousand words conveyed usually say more about the audience than the author.  i'm going to work on remembering to add text more often.

i work on the 18th floor of a boxy office building in downtown atlanta.  though not the tallest building around, we usually have a pretty clear view of the city from up here.  today though, the fog is so thick we can only just make out the buildings closest to us.  and even they fade quickly into grey space when the eye moves past their leading edge.  the cold always creeps in through our windows, but the fog makes it seem colder than usual.  it's fitting for october though.  i do wish i'd brought my camera today.

my step-brother, andrew, loves to skate.  his socks never even stand a chance.

this is him just about to kick everyone's ass at wii sports.

 

 

 

Oops.

kf and i went to the atlanta botanical gardens this past weekend.  with the fall flowers in bloom, it really was beautiful. 

i have an extra day off this weekend!  and with the recent gas scarcity that's hit atlanta, i'm thinking about taking my extra day to find a bike.  it'd save me about two tanks of gas a month i think, (assuming that it's sunny most days and i don't start somehow compensating by driving more during the week).  i'd still drive to work since the blocks around my building aren't safe to travel through alone after dark.  but i could bike to most other places i go, especially on the weekends.  with three day weekends, it really adds up.  and money aside, i loved riding my bike as a kid.

my itunes doesn't seem to want to update to the latest version.  so no new music for me today.  guess i'll tackle it again tonight.  

today's been moving at a snails pace.

i think it may be time to get organized again.  i've been misplacing things lately.
