I have an appetite for so many things, but if I try to do everything the overriding hunger soon becomes for sleep. There's only one of me and only twenty four hours in the day, which is quite enough of each. It's all about making choices.

I took a break from writing over the weekend. Corky and I had projects to do around the house and I wanted to focus my non-house-project time on my film developing and scanning backlog.

Follow your dreams, they say, and that's very fine advice. Perhaps better, though, to say, follow your dream. Focus. Flitting from one flower to the other is fine for bees and butterflies but not for you and me.

But I do have an appetite for writing, so here I am again, letting Amanda's daily prompts poke at me.

I did, however, get assorted painting done and two sets of shelves hung.

And I did develop the test roll from the Canon AE-1.

And we fired up the grill because we had an appetite for the Zweigle hots.

It was a gorgeous weekend up here by Lake Ontario.

I bought the Canon AE-1 from a friend at work. I had performed well for him in years past, but when I tried it the shutter curtain was not opening correctly and I had two rolls come out completely blank. I picked it up again a couple weeks ago and the shutter appeared to be firing, so I switched a roll from the Argus for the last couple of shots. They both came out, so I tried a full roll. The shutter appears to be working flawlessly.

I took it on my walks and wandered around the house with it, shooting this and that, trying to get feel for it. I think I'm going to like it.
