Well thanks!

it was a really good time.  I meant to write a 'journal', but I kept
forgetting to get a notebook, and then the trip was half over...

the light painting was done by using a remote shutter release which
'locks', then using an led flashlight pointed in the camera's direction.

Thanks.  when I read it back to myself I'm usually pretty non-plussed
about my writing.  I try to convey the relevant details to flesh out the
impressions, but I often get mired in one or the other.

m-w.com word of the day!

besides, it's the only word I've come across that really conveys the way
the trees seem lit from within, the way they just *glow*.  It's really
hard to capture that glow on film...    I'm going to have to try some
filters so I can get longer exposures.


> 3:  You're definitely not geezing.

heh.  I went to see Joe Satriani last night at the Warner.  I had to
wear ear plugs.

"If the music is too loud, you're too old" kept going through my mind.  :~)

the good thing was that I rode down, and got to park right in front of
the Warner theatre.

As I was backing into the spot between a black suburban and a mercedes,
I bumped the suburban with my muffler.  not hard, just a bump.  next
thing I know, there's a *big* black lady DC cop standing in front of me.
  she asks, "did you hit my car with your bike, or your body?"

"My shoulder, ma'am.  Sorry about that."

:~)

[Dave]  Maybe we need to reevaluate your current geeze status on the geezer scale ;-)

[Dave]  I would have gone with:

"Wat chu talkin' 'bout Willis"...  YMMV
