what's next?

I've got 36 "emails waiting":http://revjim.net/page/inbox/ for response (17 from this past week), 71 items in my "TODO link list":http://del.icio.us/revjim/todo/, 10 or so images that are edited and ready to go, a poem that's half written in my head, a new engine for this site about 2 hours worth of work away from being ready to [...]

Coconut Lined Hanging Baskets of Satan

We bought two of those coconut lined hanging baskets that look oh-so-nice out there on the porch. We filled them with a really long and thin variety of white petunia. They were beautiful.

Yesterday we drove out to Arlington to visit Arlington Camera. I've decided once and for all that there is absolutely no reason for me to set foot into a brick and mortar camera retailer again.
