I took the afternoon off and went to the Puyallup Fair.  I brought along a camera intent on taking a bunch of photos and sharing them with you upon my return.  But when I got there, and turned on the camera, nothing.  A quick check of the battery compartment revealed that I had left the battery at home on the charger.

     I enjoyed the Fair but would have enjoyed it more and longer if I could have shared.  I used to be able to drag my kids with me, but they’re grown up, one is 900 miles away and I’m not allowed to contact, another doesn’t speak to me and is I don’t know where, a third can’t be dragged away from video games that long without going into convulsions, and my oldest never has time anymore or can’t get girlfriends permission.  I know it’s only going to get worse as I get older but sooner or later I’ll die then it will be resolved.
