Our parents grew up with the Yankee motto: ”Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.” It has served them well. In our modern, consumption oriented society though, Mrs Mack505 and I have decided to adopt a different philosophy: “Put it way, give it away, throw it away, or sell it [...]

It has come to my attention that 2012 is a leap year, so welcome to Project 366. I started the year back at work for 24 hours. It was a theme day, with multiple overdose calls. Here’s hoping that’s not the theme for the coming year. [...] For those who may not have seen it before, the idea behind Project 365 is to document a year of your life using one photo each day. I succeeded with it in 2010 and found it uplifting. Let’s see what 2012 will bring. 8/17 – stalls @ the Big E 8/21 – feeling a bit artsy 8/30 – Second grade!! 9/2 – Seen on the Mass Pike. I’m not sure what it means, but I bet the local fire marshal might find it interesting. 9/3 – Family weekend in Buffalo. You get to [...] Tags: EMS, family, landscapes, Project 365 | Category: Project 365, Uncategorized | Leave a comment |  Print This PostBeth and I spent some time in Boston’s Public Garden and the Back Bay today. She loved these flowers. I find them very Seuss-ian. We strolled down Boylston Street looking for lunch.

It’s even cooler than a cardboard box! 6/9 – The best place to be on a hot day is stretched out on a cool floor. 6/8 – We stumbled across this old Revere ladder on the [...] Tags: antique, cats, fire apparatus, Project 365 | Category: family, fire, Project 365 | Leave a comment | Print This Post4/2 – Good morning, Sin City.
4/4 – Good morning, Witch City. I find that I’m missing Project 365. I can’t guarantee that I’ll manage a photo every day, but I intend to start shooting and posting again. So without further ado. . . March 13 – In Quarters. . .
March 14 – Making chips on the Sherline mill with Beth. I’ll learn [...] Tags: cars, cats, family, Project 365 | Category: EMS, family, Project 365 | Leave a comment | Print This PostToday marks the official end of Project 365 for 2010. When I started it on 1/2/10, I had no idea where it would take me. With all of the negative memories from 2010, I’m glad I have a positive photographic record. In the end I missed a few days, and a few others have multiple [...] Silence The low hum of fluorescent workshop lights No TV; no family The gentle rasp of an old abused paintbrush A project draws to completion I can hear my breathing; feel the blood in my veins Heating pumps click and whir The boiler whooshes to life Oh, hello Hal [...] |
