Backing Down

OK, I'm officially backing down from my quest to post weekly. Either I don't have much to say, don't have time or I don't think the daily routine in interesting enough to post the same things each week. Any way I look at it I'm changing my goal to every two weeks now. If more than one shows up - call it a bonus of Reeve material.

I did promise an update to the Salt & Pepper shoot. It was a long day but we got it done. The camera guys were late so we ran late. The first things we shot were the intros and bios. I didn't do that well on this part. Drakeel had asked me before and I had some things that I wanted to say but by the time we started the cameras rolling at about 1pm I just wanted to start cooking and eat something. I'd had a couple of doughnuts about 9am and that only cut it for so long. We were supposed to be about done by 1-1:30 so I didn't eat breakfast. I wasn't thinking correctly or thouroughly to properly express my thoughts and feelings. That will be the first thing I change when we have a chance. The acutal shoot went very well. We did our dishes at the same time pointing out the differences as we went along. We had a lot of fun doing it and I just hope that all came across on film. Now comes the hard part of editing. We should have something to show at the beginning of the year. No worries - I'll let you know when the site is active.

For Thanksgiving Mom & Dad came out for a few days. They arrived Thanksgiving morning. Steph took the kids to go pick them up and I stayed behind to get the food prep started. I did put them to work when they got home. Steph finished the Sweet Potatoe casserole, Mom made a 7 layer salad and helped with the gravy, Dad carved up the turkey. It all came out perfect and with all that help we at relatively on time. I think that's a first.

It's always great to have Mom & Dad visit. They watched the kids so Steph and I could go on a date Friday night. We went to see the movie Fireproof. If you are married, go see it. We had to drive to Baltimore to see it and it comes out on video soon. Dad and I along with my brother-in-law Scott are taking a 'Winning at Work and Home' class together online so this movie played right into that. It offers an interesting perspective on marriage - go see it.
