Family art
In the sibling dynamic, the relationship between elder and younger never really changes no matter how old you get.
My little brother is a grown man, with a kid even. Although we are adult peers, and respect is given accordingly, it's still a Big brother/Little brother thing.
And from time to time, I still get the Big Brother props. :
(I once dated a art history major, who turned me onto art)
lilbro: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=20136&item=7311215776&rd=1 target="_blank"
lilbro: like?
JPennant: Yah. I prefer Monet's haystack series meself.
JPennant: More importantly - is that YOU like it
lilbro: u really r the FUCKING man!!!
lilbro: shoppin 4 some inexpensive paintings to put in the house. bought a car today too. toyota tercel
JPennant: good :-) Park that SUV.
lilbro: no doubt. 15$ to fill tank

JPennant: I need to get my big printers set up so I can start sending you art for your wall

He doesnt like when I say 'when Im gone'.
When he was a kid and he'd come to Chicago for the summers, Id take him to Wrigley Field for Cubs games. Back then, the Cubs sucked - so we could usually get good seats. He's a New York sports fan, but he will always go to Wrigley Field.

I just flew back from LA, and boy are my eyes tired.
According to the counter, I took over 1,000 images between 3/15 and 3/17. 1,014 to be exact.
So my 'eye' has been a little tired lately. So much so, that Ive not taken many pics after coming back, often leaving the camera home and not missing it.
I get noticeably tired after shooting over 150 shots a day, such as when on a photo safari or trip. And with the expanded capabilities of the new camera - being able to roll a lot of shots with a somewhat casual disregard to storage and battery limitations - the fatigue hits harder.
Ive not been feening photography that much since Ive been back, but the feeling is coming back.
And this morning, Im feeling pretty good.
-------------
k a t e: hey
k a t e: how are you
JPennant: preedie good. rediscovering my joy. :-)
JPennant: how you?
k a t e: pretty good
k a t e: so what is your joy that you are discovering
JPennant: oh just appreciating where i am, what im doin, what im gonna do etc etc
JPennant: lotta power and joy in that
JPennant: heh, plus ive watched the Incredibles like 6 times now
k a t e: hehe
k a t e: love that movie
JPennant: 'aint it great
k a t e: and YES you should appreciate who you are
JPennant: yep
JPennant: you know its working when youve got things that would normally pull ya down and think... ahh, Ive got it good
JPennant: make a decision, and know its the right thing to do
JPennant: and the incredibles make me laugh and (sorta) cry at the same time, helping to release stress :-)
JPennant: so alla dat
JPennant: So, Im gonna push and try to get to hawaii sooner than I planned
JPennant: then when I come back, see what I need to do with my life as far as job and whatnot
JPennant: And, ive been looking for an excuse to do Reno & Vegas.
k a t e: hehe
k a t e: well, tell me how hawaii is
k a t e: i have been dying to go there
JPennant: you know im gonna take pictures

Spring Break in LA
True LA Story
"Cool Dog. A chick magnet too. Mind if I take his picture?"
"Sure. Scooby doesnt mind the camera. He was just in a picture with Jennifer Aniston."
"Uhh.. cool."
The dog has a resume. How LA.
Personally, I was more impressed at the dog being a total chick magnet.
