Yesterday's Stay Late proved to be one of the longer ones, still a good choice to trade because this morning I am off. Later today won't be so exciting, much later, as I head in to Hospital for that Midnight shift. Still, at the moment Houdini is quite happy and occasionally nudging me. As it, perhaps, to ask Are you Really Still Here? He did let me sleep later than the usual Wake Up Time, and started nudging me about an hour later as intracystic hydrostatic pressure built up.

Catching up on browsing and web comics and such. Reviewing in my head things to do today, related to that big December thing.

November's thing is attending a state-wide camera club convention. Registration is in, lodgings booked, and a specific workshop signed up for. We'll see what happens related to that on arrival; I should be good, as my registration is fairly early in the game. However, one workshop is sold out. Then again, I wouldn't expect a workshop with Claude Butcher in the Everglades to remain empty particularly long once registration opened.

Small progress to be pursued again today in clarifying some things over in Studio 318. Herself plans on getting some planting done in the two plots recently tilled. That's a portion of gardening I will not be helping to do, thanks to the Black Thumb. And a nap, this afternoon, for sure. Particularly if thunder rolls in, to provide Houdini with some shelter from the Sky Grumblers.

With Clyde Butcher, huh? One of the all-time greats. Still kicking myself for not buying one of his famed Everglades or Big Cypress prints in the 80's when they were affordable at local art shows. (Then again, it was that or paying my utility bills back then.) Enjoy the workshop! I hear he's an excellent instructor.

Workshop, ah, yes, believe I mentioned his is sold out? And before I registered, so that's not the one I'm going to attend. However, he is also a 'keynote speaker' and that I will attend.

Whoops! Sorry. Skimmed that too quickly and thought that was the one you'd luckily skated into before it closed. Ah, well. CB as keynote speaker is good. By the way, he updates regularly with interesting stuff on Facebook.

At any rate — have fun in November! I love going to workshops and am long overdue for one. I've decided to replace my (lately) limited SF convention-going activities with a workshop every once in a while that I can drive to. An expense I can justify by learning something new & fun — and also write it off. (On the down side: no hall costumes...)

Hmmm. On the plus side: no hall costumes. Now that I think about it...

[madshutterbug.livejournal.com]

LOL! Then again, one could consider a bunch of people running around with cameras draped all over them as sort of hall costume.

Learning something is definitely the plan. Plus, I figure I'm doing fewer SF cons than you, so I'll stretch a bit. Plus, it's one day of workshops, one day of speakers so some of the workshops I'll miss, can catch the presentations by them as speakers.
