What’s Up? The Book of Mormon was energy-filled and as superb and as wildly irreverent as advertised. I just love great musicals. Cody Jamison Strand in the role of Elder Cunningham totally stole the show. The Book of Arnold indeed … Sunday was the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the morning and Hamilton at 3pm. […] What’s Up? As I began working on this blog post for the second time, it was 1:07pm on Thursday, December 14, 2019 and I was on the LIRR train to Ronkonkoma. I was thrilled to have made the 12:58 train. I could not wait to have brunch when I got back to Lissy’s house (after […] What’s Up? It’s 6:38am on Tuesday, December 10, 2019. I am at the gate at MCO headed to Islip. I will be doing an Event Space program at the B&H superstore on Wednesday and Thursday, seeing Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday evening, and seeing Hamilton and the Book of Mormon on the […] What’s Up? I am busy packing for Long Island. Bringing some of my SONY gear for the Event Space “Birds in Flight” program on Wednesday. And I may get out a bit with good friend Tom Pfeiffer the week of 15 DEC … Wednesdat evening I will be seeing Billy Joel at the Garden for […] What’s Up? Dr. Cliff Oliver’s intermittent fasting/keto diet/no insulin plan (suggested originally in part by good friend Anita North), seems to be working quite well. My blood sugar levels are getting close to normal. I weighed 173 pounds this morning, December 8, 2019, and have been feeling and sleeping great. And swimming a half-mile or […] What’s Up? Bosque must have tired me out. I slept nine hours each of the last two nights. On Thursday got back in the pool for the first time in two weeks. Seventy-three degrees is quite chilly but with my snorkeling booties and two neoprene hats I was not cold until I got out. […] What’s Up It is 10:23am Mountain Time and I just began typing. I am at the gate at ABQ headed for Houston Hobby and then Orlando. If all goes perfectly, Jim will be picking me up at MCO at about 7pm. After we stop for dinner we should be home about 9:30pm. I woke early […] What’s Up? The morning of Monday December 2, 2019 was my least productive morning at Bosque this year. The sky was dead-clear and the bulk of the fly-in was late so I hightailed it to the crane pool. The winds were light from the NNW and the birds were taking off every-which-way. I moved and […] What’s Up? Bosque continues to be excellent. I have been having so much fun that I am staying two extra days. I fly home on Wednesday, 4 DEC. It looks as if the great bad weather is over; the forecast is for Boosque morning death: clear skies and NW winds … IPT Updates The […] What’s Up? With the unsettled weather and tons of geese, Bosque has been great. The other day I was standing below the tour loop road at a barrier gate to a maintainece road. We had been there several times as it got us a bit out of the wind and a bit closer to the […] Wild Turkey tom, Indian Lake Estates, […] What’s Up? With the somewhat unstable weather (that is getting worse at the moment), Bosque has been quite excellent. The group is at least tied for the best-ever group. They are all eager to learn, attentive, and they ask tons of questions. Happy campers all. Today our morning session lasted six hours. I have been […] What’s Up? Bosque has been so good and conditions at 1:56pm are so perfect that I am skipping Instructor Nap Time to head back down to the refuge early. I meet the complete IPT group tonight 🙂 IPT Updates The 2020 San Diego 4 1/2-DAY BIRDS AS ART Instructional Photo-Tour (IPT) WED JAN 8, […] What’s Up? On Thurdsay morning, November 21, I headed down to the lake before I even started packing for Bosque. Though the wind waswest of north, I did quite well with Black Vultures in flight with the a9 II/600 f/4 GM combination. It took Jim about 3 hours to get us up to Orlando because […] What’s Up? I headed down to the lake on Wednesday morning hoping to do some vulture flight with my new a9 II and the 600 GM. With a gentle wind from the east and lovely light early on a clear day I had high hopes. I put out a load of smelly fish heads and […] What’s Up? I finally got down to the lake with my brand-new SONY a9 II this moorning. I loved that the ergonomics and controls are virtually idenitcal to the a7TR IV. There was no flight and not much around besides the cooperative Black Vultures. So those are what I photographed. Learn more below. The […] What’s Up? On Saturday past, I woke early and decided to go on the local Audubon group walk at Turkey Creek Preserve. I brought my 100-400 thinking that there might be some nice flowers. There were. My two favorites were Day Flower and Silver-leafed Aster, but it was too windy for photos. We saw a […] South Plaza Island. And the SONY a9 Mirrorless Digital Camera Body Makes the Impossible Possible ...What’s Up? Thursday morning dawned cold and grey — at 9:00am the sky looked like snow (depsite the fact that it was 58 degrees). The pool is down five degrees in just a few days but swimming still feels balmy as compared to the air temps. It is looking like mostly cloudy here this morning, […] What’s Up? It is getting chilly down here … On Tuesday morning the sun rose through a light layer of fog and the light was gorgeous for more than an hour, sort of golden and crystalline. But I was sitting on my couch having committed to setting up my brand new SONY a9 II … […] My Dad at basic training in a rare photo of him with two arms Honoring My Dad, Private First-Class Robert Edward Morris I’ve told parts of this story here before, but what the hey, it’s Veteran’s Day. My Dad had had both my kindergarten and first grade teachers — sisters Mrs. Wood […] |
