Photowalking
The 2010 edition of the Worldwide Photowalk is coming up soon (July 24) to a location near you. Helping to organize last year’s photo walk was a lot of fun. This year there will be two photowalks happening in the Charleston area.
The Charleston photowalk is meeting downtown at the Powder Magazine in the morning and is being lead by Adam Barret.
Later on in the afternoon, I’ll be leading the North Charleston photo walk starting at the North Charleston Riverfront Park and then wandering through the old Navy base.
Feel free to join one or both photowalks!
Politicking
The thought occurred to me today.
US politics isn’t about politicians representing their people.
It’s about politicians trying to convince the people that his/her beliefs are their beliefs.
Missy the Ball Fiend
I’ve had Missy out at the dog park a couple of times now, and she is a huge ball fiend. She can barely sit still waiting for you to throw the ball and takes off like a rocket after it. She’s a lot of fun to watch chasing after the ball.
She even brings it back to me, unlike some dogs I know (Nala and Simba, I’m looking at you…)
This makes it easy to tire her out. She also doesn’t know when to stop and take a break. Now that it’s getting hotter out, it’s easy for her to run herself into heat exhaustion or worse, which is bad, especially being a black dog and smaller than the others, who do have the sense to stop when they get too hot. That means rationing the ball throwing and making her take breaks, even though she looks like she doesn’t want to.
An evening with Barenaked Ladies
This evening I got to see Barenaked Ladies in concert for the first time. Not sure how, but I’ve managed to go this long without seeing them live.
The show was a blast, and the Performing Arts Center was pretty much packed.
The concert opened with Serena Ryder, who I enjoyed more than I thought I would. I thought her acoustic guitar set was well done and very dynamic. Listening to her sing made me think of a combination of Melissa Etheridge and Alannah Myles (but not quite so country).
BNL definitely did not disappoint with the show today, with a mix from their new album (All in Good Time) and older songs. Even their theme song from Big Bang Theory made it into the set. It was different listening to them without Steven Page, but they were still awesome.
Now I just need The Tragically Hip to come to Charleston.
