Well, yesterday was my birthday and I certainly feel much older but that might just be the hangover. Overall, it’s been a good year though filled with many challenges. This was my first full year in Oklahoma after fleeing from Chicago with debtors chasing me all the way. Initially I thought that Oklahoma would not be a place for me to live happily, but really the old line about “anywhere you lay your hat is home” holds true. I have gotten the chance to reconnect with many old friends and to develop a full life, at least by my standards.

Random Picture of the Day - 09/19/2003
This is a picture of my old friend Scott in the process of telling an involved and very dramatic joke. The light leak on the edges and top initially annoyed me (I didn’t have this roll developed for about 3 years) but I’m starting to think it adds to its surreal nature. Shot with my Olympus OM-1. Shot on Tri-X.

Killer Headache
An uneventful day to be sure, in fact almost all of it was spent sound asleep. It had been a long week so I celebrated a bit last night with Andy and Lisa. Went to one of the great music joints of the world, Danny’s Blues Saloon. This place looks like the movie set of every roadhouse bar scene. Rough wood walls and floors surrounding a large dance floor filled with the gyrations of some of OKC’s eclectic night life. The band was Scott Keaton and the Deviants and they were hot with their standard cross of rockabilly, Texas blues and classic rock and roll. I had a few more than usual drinks and actually asked a woman to dance. God, it’s been a long time since I’ve done that. Nothing came of it, but was good to feel like I had a youthful life again.

I guess I’m just in a posting mood this evening. I recently found some ancient rolls of film (some of them over 5 years old) including some snapshots from the Sears Tower which I’m including as a mini-gallery.
