On days like this we also reflect on what it is we are thankful for.  So, here you go.  I am thankful for my health, my life, my wife, my job, my family, my friends, my freedom, football, and of course, all of you dear readers!  Call it hokey, but it’s true!  What are you doing today, and what are you thankful for?

Today isn’t Friday…at least in my head.  Today is really Thursday night!  I am winding the clock back a day just because it’s been a super busy week.  In addition to the regular job, still adjusting to the time change, and prepping the house with the honey-do list, I’ve been prepping for a very exciting shoot I booked a short time ago.  It’s gonna take about two weeks of preparations, and with a shoot date of Dec. 3rd, the clock is ticking…

So, to give myself another 24 to catch up, ya know what today is?  Yup, no blog Friday!  Have a good weekend all, and we’ll see you back here bright and early on Monday for another week of photo goodness!

Just as I start to insert myself back into reality, civilization and all that “real” stuff, the very real weather of the East Coast yesterday decided to extend my trip by another 24 hours against my will.  Yes, the flight was delayed sufficiently from my starting city that I would have completely missed my connection flight back home.  So, I must spend another 24 hours here with the family in upstate New York – oh the tragedy! 

It does mean that my blog post schedule needs to adjust slightly, so consider today a pseudo “no blog” post day.  I may have time to get the article finished that I had intended on putting together before too long, but in the event the traveling bug has other plans for me, decided to make a judgment call.  Have a great weekend and we’ll see you back here on Monday with a lot of news and photo goodness to catch up on!  Happy shooting!

So, today is officially a “no blog” Thursday.  See you back here again tomorrow…

Yep, that was me last night and much earlier than usual.  So, instead of the typical pithy witty, jovial, humorous, enjoyable, and informational material that you are used to seeing – let’s take a day off and call this a “No blog post” day.  Happy shooting and we’ll see you back here tomorrow!

Happy Shooting!

Sorry all, the fog is just too deep to come up with anything coherent.   Don’t drop me from the feed reader just yet, as I think the haze is starting to clear some.  Be sure to stop back friday for a hopefully more coherent post about something related to photography – perhaps even a podcast (if you like the sound of hacking lung, runny nose, and pregnant pauses as I try to remember what it was I wanted to say…).  In other words, today is officially a “no blog” day.

In all seriousness, I should be back to form tomorrow – just ran out of hours in the day today, and this cold is kinda kicking me out of the game early at night time due to well…the meds.  Batter up on Friday!  Happy shooting!

Yep, the ole Spring Forward/Fall back bug bit us this past weekend.  On top of that, a rather late night on Saturday has re-doubled its effect on me today.  Since I am an admitted night owl, the mornings did not afford me the time to put together the blog post for Monday.

So…sports fans, today is officially a bleary-eyed no blog day!  Tune in tomorrow for the (semi) weekly podcast, some photo goodness, and a tweak in the podcast format for even better delivery to the fabulous listeners.  In the meantime… zzzzzzzzzz

It was quite refreshing to be honest, and is due, in no small part to the lack of a post at all yesterday.  (I did get back in time to cobble one together, but rather chose to bask in the last few hours of what was truly a wonderful holiday weekend, Hallmark though it was!)

Of course, I did take the camera with me, and will have many to share over the course of the next few weeks as I post process things, and filter out the keepers.  So, for today let’s just leave things where they are.  Rest assured though, I am “back in the saddle”, and will hopefully have the weekly podcast up for your listening pleasure tomorrow!

Happy shooting and we’ll see you back here bright and early!

Tomorrow, the last What’s This of the Year, and then lights out…nothing again until next week. The next edition of Thursday Thoughts will come back the second week of January (I couldn’t find it in myself to ask someone to put something together for New Years Day any more than Christmas Day!) That means you’re actually gonna have to spend time with family, friends, and loved ones for a few days. Oh darn!  Hope that shopping is almost done!  If not, be sure you tune in for those last minute gift ideas!  Thanks for tuning in and we’ll see you back here tomorrow!

P.S.  What made this week’s podcast different from any other podcast I’ve done this year?  (Other than the fact that it’s the last one of the year…)
