Hallelujah I have a desk and computer again. It is amazing how nice it was to sit down on my chair at my desk with my computer in front of me. Instead of having to stand at the computer and crouch down to use my mouse as I’ve had to for the past two weeks as I have been installing our new wood floor in our office. Now to get to all those unpaid bills and maybe get some backdated blogging done.

Well Bruce finally made an honest woman out of my sister. The ceremony was held at Cliff Park in Newport Beach. Renee sure as the sun rises and sets every day was late. However, it was not her fault. The limo driver’s brain took an unscheduled vacation and he thought he had time to go get lunch, get a root canal, clean out his rain gutters and god knows what else. So the driver kept the cosmic order intact. The minister had a second ceremony to perform and they were on a strict time-line with the setting sun, so she had to leave before the Bride and Groom arrived but assured us that she would return, which she did. While the delay didn’t sit too well with Renee at first, it was a blessing in disguise for Bruce as it allowed him time to relax. Everything worked out well in the end. Renee looked great and Bruce wasn’t too shabby either.
I was charged with photography and got to break in my new Canon EOS 30D rig. I had to wing it as I’d had almost zero time to get used to the new camera controls settings and all. I managed some decent pictures with only one major screw-up which of course was for all the ceremony photos. In changing the motor drive I managed to change the ISO to 800 and had the lens wide open so I had more than a few over exposed shots. Thankfully my DxO Optics program came to the rescue.
The reception was at R & B’s house in Huntington Harbor, they had Jay’s cater the affair and ordered enough food for what seemed like 150 people for a 50 person gathering. So no one went hungry that night or that week. We did manage to make a sizable dent in the cake. As you can see in the photos.
By the end of the party my cover was blown by some unknown person(s) to Laura’s friend Denise. She had discovered that I was musician and a professional photographer. Being a music snob as she put it, she was quite interested in my musical exploits not to mention my photography skills as she has done some fetish modeling and is quite comfortable with her body. So she is quite down with lingerie and nude modeling. This was quite amusing as she had a great case of the hiccups and had more than her fill of alcohol for the evening, as the police can attest to but that is a different story. So she’s holding her stem glass very close and high on her chest, the glass is filled to the brim and every ten seconds lets out a cartoon hiccup which causes her to spill a bit from her glass. The one thing that was perplexing me other than WHO LET MY CAT OUT OF THE BAG was how her glass seemed to remain filled to the rim despite her constant sipping and spilling.
