This post is like one of those episodes of "Lost" where they summarize the whole season in a single hour...
Aiight, many weeks (months?) since my last post. Busy beyond reason. Here's my "season summary":
--Finished the planning of, and participated in, the perfect wedding to the perfect girl (awww). Complete with slideshow.
--Went on a 10 day honeymoon to Maui. Vacation...fantastic. 12 hours in the airplane each way...not so much. But it was a good enough reason for me to buy a fancy new iPod. Welcome to 2001. I love the bleeding edge.
--Biked down a volcano on a too-small 60lb beachcomber while wearing a bigass motorcycle helmet.
--Snorkled with sea turtles
--Watched the sunset (and sunrise...different days) from the top of a 10,000' volcano.
--Saw a sugarcane harvest, where they flash-burn acres of sugarcane fields creating mushroom clouds (and tons of smoke and soot all over the island).
--Saw the grave of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh on the absolute ass-end of Maui (but oh, what a scenic ass-end it is!).
--Snorkeled at Molokini...extra cool, half-eroded volcanic crater just off of Maui.
--3 or 4 days into the trip, I dunked my 20D in the Pacific right about here, killing it. Worst part about it is that I had to spend the remaining week of our trip with an extra-crappy semi-underwater point-and-shoot. The resulting shots were not pretty. Anyway, here's the final shot (at least it was a nice one). My girl, in the rain, in front of a rainbow while stopped along the Hana Highway in NE Maui. Shot number 16,932. Only two years old. Last frame of the 20D. Farewell, friend.
--Filed an insurance claim for my soggy camera.
--Bought a new 30D. Hello, new friend!
--Did tons of other fantastic, touristy things on Maui, but I can't remember any more. Besides, my eyes are going crossed from looking at this computer screen all day.
--Came back to an office moving in two weeks (that was two weeks ago).
--Moved the office this past weekend. Including new phone system, new phone service, new network hardware, and countless glitches. Today was the first day back for the users. Oh man. I need a vacation.
