In other non JanPhotoADay challenge news, today is my son’s birthday. My little man turns 11 today! I guess that makes me an even older fart than I thought I was.
I need a nap.

This one is kind of obscure… Well maybe not. 
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a cowboy, an astronaut, a race car driver and then drive a plane on the weekends. You know, I was a normal kid.
The first time somebody asked me seriously what I wanted to be when I grew up, I answered that I wanted to be an architect. For some reason, that memory is still crystal clear even after not being an architect for the last 40 years. Funny how the brain works, right?
Of course, if you know me or if you read the previous sentence and you don’t have ADD, you know that I’m not an architect. Odds are that at my age I can say that I’ll never be an architect.
I did however design a lot of buildings when I was a kid. First in high school for arts projects, then when I started playing role-playing games I would always draw maps, and then I started running games and I designed whole towns from scratch. Later on, computers came along and I started to play with CAD programs, and I even modeled a complete 3D house for one of our RPG games.
These days when I get bored I fire up Google SketchUp and draw a house or two.
Also, if you have OCD you noticed that it was not the previous sentence but the one before that and it’s been bugging you for 2 minutes.

I definitely need a tripod. Do you know how hard it is to take pictures of the night sky without one? Let me show you some examples…
That’s the moon.
Again, the moon and some stars.
I definitely need a tripod.

My kids make me smile daily. The way they act. The way they talk. The way their little eyes look when they try to understand something, and the way they light up when they do. The way they get up on their days off to hug me before I leave for work. The way they squeeze me as hard as they can when they hug me. The way their little hands rub my back as they hug me. The way they grow up. The way I comment to myself that they grow up too fast.
The way they paint rocks specifically for me, so I can put them in my office. The way my daughter hunted down a rock of the exact shape she wanted, and painted it like a Lady Bug because I always call her ma Coccinnelle. The way my son painted a spider in a web on a big rock, because it looked really cool and he thought I would like it.
That makes me smile.

Letterbox.Letterboxing is the practice of transferring film shot in a widescreenaspect ratio to standard-width video formats while preserving the film’s original aspect ratio. The resulting videographic image has mattes (black bars) above and below it; these mattes are part of the image (i.e., of each frame of the video signal). LTBX is the identifying abbreviation for films and images so formatted. The term refers to the shape of a letter box, a slot in a wall or door through which mail is delivered, being rectangular and wider than it is high.
Well, thanks Wikipedia.
I’m so sorry, I wasn’t at all inspired by this prompt. What would you do with it? Let me know…
