So dear pal Amy has been tagging some of my flickr photos to Bostonist, which has put them in consideration for photo of the day… and today the first photo in my previous post got the nod! Thanks so much, Amy my star!
I’ll have more for you soon, I promise!
Can she meet the challenge?

Every day from now on, I’m going to try to post a photo I’ve taken. It’ll force me to post more often, so likely you’ll get not only more pictures from me, but also more words.
Here’s today’s photo. Kim mentioned it in her comments on a previous post, and it seems to be one of the most successful of my recent self-portraits.

In other news, today I heard from an old college friend I’ve been seeking out for years. I’m thrilled to hear from her. This is why the internet is a good thing. I imagine we would never have connected again without it.
