magical lights
I will always fall in love with a nighttime street that’s got lights hanging over it. Always. Every time.
I mean, I don’t fall in love with it enough to photograph it the “right” with a tripod and focused and stuff. But anyway, my brain likes this more ephemeral look so my brain and I are going to make you look at this version. That’s the way we roll.

number 8, on the move
Number eight, over there on the right is in the fifth grade. She’s been playing soccer since she was in pre-Kindergarten. She’s also played volleyball, basketball, and softball. She plays golf with her dad and can’t wait until she’s old enough to run track at school.
This season, she’s also playing flag football so there are two games almost every Saturday.
And she’s my granddaughter Bennett.

mr. ellis at the pit
I could not be more serious about this: go down to the Depot District one of these nights, the later the better. Look for the BBQ pit building on the corner of 18th Street and the alley. Get yourself some chicken in a flour tortilla. You’ll see Mr. Ellis himself at the grill, with his roll of paper towels on hand as he serves up deliciousness.
(Bonus activity: take the burrito with you, sit outside in the night, and enjoy friends and bbq and conversation (and whisky). It’s the perfect way to end your day.)

last rider
And then, when it was fully dark, the last rider left the rodeo arena.
We left too, but reluctantly, because it had been just an outstanding evening, one that wasn’t planned but that was the perfect end to a trip with my friends. It just goes to show what can happen if you decide to cross the highway to the rodeo arena to see why the lights are on. Or whatever: just go look.
