What’s Up? I am somewhere in South America. Actually, I arrived in Santiago a bit early at 7:10am. I slept more on the redeye flight than I ever have before. That said, I arrived exhausted and will be resting up for two full days before heading to the Falklands for a week with three wonderful […] Against All Odds … It is 2:16pm on WED 12 OCT as we head out of Indian Lake Estates. Jim is driving me to the Orlando Airport for my 6pm flight to MIA and my red-eye flight tonight to SCL. I am scheduled to arrive in Santiago, Chile on Thursday morning at 7:35.am. If […] What’s Up? Good news. I am heading to South America with bells on this afternoon, Wednesday OCT 12, 2016. Gear Questions and Advice Too many folks attending BAA IPTs and dozens of the folks whom I see in the field, and on BPN, are–out of ignorance–using the wrong gear, especially when it comes to tripods […] Great News! White blood cell count is 8.1. Both docs have me good to go. Now I just have to try not to do anything too dumb. Thanks all for your good wishes. I have prepared and scheduled 46 brand new, educational blog posts to be published from tomorrow through and including […] What’s Up? Feeling much better. Hoping for a low white blood cell count report this afternoon so that I can head south. Otherwise, very busy getting ready for 9 1/2 weeks away from home… var ftClick = “”; var ftExpTrack_1705289 = “”; var ftX = “”; var ftY = “”; var ftZ = […] What’s Up? Felt pretty good on Sunday but bloated from the air that they inject into you with a laparoscopy; that should last just a few more days.It is a small price to pay for the relative ease of the surgery. Finally slept pretty well last night. Took two naps. No swims till DEC 19. […] What’s Up? I realized on Friday, the day after my surgery, that if I had assumed that the gall bladder pain was actually referred kidney stone pain and/or waited a day or two on the gall bladder pain and it had gone away, that it might have ruptured. This would have required a much more […] What’s Up? I am home and still feeing great despite 2 1/2 hours of sleep on Thursday night. I can say that I probably did close to 20 hours of work stock-piling new blog blogs post to keep the streak going while and if I am away. Again, huge thanks for all the positive messages. […] This Just Out! Me. From the hospital. And home, ready for a nap. Had a great follow-up with my most wonderful surgeon, Dr. Howard, with permission to take it easy and fly to Santiago, Chile on Wednesday, October 12. And then had my release formally approved by my D.O., Dr. David Holmes. But I am […] What’s Up? As noted yesterday, when I woke up in the recovery room I asked, “When are they going to do my surgery?” All I felt was small pinch in my lower right abdomen. By Thursday evening I was still feeling fabulous. Thanks a huge stack for the outpouring of good wishes and get-well-soons! […] What’s Up? I woke up in the recovery room and asked, “When are they going to do my surgery?” All I felt was small pinch in my lower right abdomen. I have not spoken to the surgeon yet but hope to do so soon. We chatted briefly in the pre-op waiting room and he was […] What’s Up? I worked on this blog post while in the Emergency room at Lake Wales hospital on Wednesday morning waiting for a CAT scan that will hopefully show no appendix involvement as far as my lower right abdominal pain. Time will tell. Well, it wasn’t the appendix… Right now it is looking as […] This Just In… Right now it is looking as if I will have my gall bladder surgically removed early on Thursday morning. I am lobbying for tonight but that is not looking too likely. Gall bladder is enlarged and inflamed along with gall stones. With my white blood cell count at 18,000, Dr. Cliff Oliver […] What’s Up? Monday afternoon and evening at least through Tuesday morning was great fun. I was and still am the process of passing a kidney stone. Not the worst one ever, but plenty painful. I got into bed at 8:30pm and did not fall asleep until 1:00am 🙂 The best thing about it is that […] What’s Up? Monday was spent stock-piling blog posts and finishing the “UK Puffins and Gannets” article for Helen Longest-Saccone and Nature Photographer magazine. Both the Fort DeSoto IPT and the Sunday morning Cheap in the Field Session (I need to do more of those) were huge successes filled with great folks, tame birds, and more […] What’s Up? The DeSoto Fall IPT went off flawlessly and everyone went home happy. And most folks on the Sunday Cheap In-the-Field Workshop went home happy as well. I drove home midday on Sunday and then pretty much took the rest of the days off… Unusual for me. var ftClick = “”; var […] What’s Up? On the morning of Day 3 of the DeSoto Fall IPT we absolutely killed. We had a feeding spree with eight totally tame Roseate Spoonbills, several Great and Snowy Egrets, a gorgeous Yellow-crowned Night-Heron or two, Tricolored and a Little Blue Heron, a dark morph Reddish Egret, and several dozen winter Laughing Gulls […] What’s Up? Things were looking really bleak on Friday morning for the DeSoto Fall IPT group but by refusing to give up we pulled a rabbit out of the hat at the last minute. Story on Sunday. Gotta get some sleep… Gear Questions and Advice Too many folks attending IPTs and dozens of the […] What’s Up? On Thursday we had a great day (even with wind against sun in the morning). We endured the threat of thunderstorms pretty much all day long but escaped unscathed. As the skies got black toward sunset we beat a hasty retreat and as we headed back to the hotel it poured. It is […] What’s Up? It is almost 9pm on Wednesday evening as I type. I woke at 2:56am this morning, finished 2 1/2 days of micro-adjusting my two new 5D IV bodies with four lenses and five different teleconverters… I swam a half mile at 9:30 and drove across the state arriving at the IPT hotel at […] |
