Who on earth thinks of it that way!?

I do ;) - I'll wait an hour in line for a good deal, but won't wait an hour in line for an ok deal. Most people think this way, but just don't think about the numbers :p.

A friend of mine once waited in line in the Red Light District in Amsterdam for a particularly pretty one.:o

Sounds like a great day!
And there is absolutely nothing (sorry, not even canon gear) that would get me to shop out in the real world on Black Friday. I slept in...late. And I'm not doing a thing today.

I took a long walk and have hunkered down at home. I won't go out on Black Friday either. Actually, the best sales are on Dec. 23rd and I have already bought Aaron's & Ryan's gifts.

Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

no.. it's really good for my bank account.. except when I go down to the valley and spend with abandon just because I can... somehow I feel like I have to go shopping when I get there because I can't when i'm up here.. I get dizzy with all of the traffic and then I go to Walmart and Target and all the choices go to my head...

McCall is in the middle of the panhandle.. about two hours straight north of Boise.. but, if I remember correctly a bit south of Ketchum...

McCall is well known.. as a playground for the rich and a hideaway for those that don't want people... great for camping and fishing and all of the other outside stuff you can think up and some stuff you can't.. But, it's also very, very small...

Sari, I'm going to be in UT in Feb. for another wedding. Getting tickets this weekend or next week. My husband is set to go to Park City, unfortunately, so we won't head north to Idaho, but I'll be thinking of you.

No black friday today for me, Maureen. I was in NYC with my mother and family. I even ate amazing Dim Sum, brought some home, even. Should be yummy when I have leftovers. :)

I drove past the Canon Service Center in NJ on the way home and snapped a shot, but we were going too fast. I sent my 24-70 there for service and next time, I may call ahead and ask if they will clean my sensors for me while I wait. It's just off 95. My husband laughed when I said I need to visit that place. With all the things to see in NY, I want to see B&H and the Canon Service Center. You know you are a photographer when you think B&H is a tourist place. :)

My children and grandchildren are the reason, but it's the passion that drives me to get the perfect image of everything.

I like small. I get queasy when the population tops 25,000.

I tend to ramble. Feel free to put me on ignore.
