Visitors

So, besides “we’re gonna get drunk for breakfast!!”, as was yelled by Deborah Silver before cracking into a plate of rum battered french toast, my favorite quote over the weekend was…”for most people it only takes about a half-hour for a hair cut. For me it takes about two days,” uttered by my friend Ted McLaren, who came to Stuart with his girlfriend, Lara Cerri, to visit for the weekend. Lara had cut his hair Sunday afternoon, but on Monday morning discovered that she missed more than a few spots. The patient Mr. McLaren propped himself up on the trunk of their car as Lara fixed the mess she started ;)  

The two of them met at Deborah’s housewarming party 5-and-a-half years ago in Stuart, FL, and I think this weekend was the first time they’d been back there together since.

Remotely Interested?

Filed under: 9 to 5 — alexboerner @ 8:52 pm

Remote set-ups are nothing new, but they’re new to me. Yesterday I shot my first photo utilizing a remote, so I thought I’d compliment that event by posting that photo in my very first blog entry.

The credit for this photo actually should go to Bill Brown, who owns the diving show in which he was performing at the Martin County Fair in Stuart, FL. He had the magic arm, mount, clamps and transceivers with which to do this. He had done this before to promote his shows, which are all over the world (www.highdiveshows.com), and he knew what he was doing. He set it up and I just pushed the button from the ground. Thanks Bill!! The diver is Joe Egan, from San Antonio, TX.
