It sucks to have back problems. I feel like an old man walking around - all hunched over - walking slow - making grunting sounds. Oh man - it sucks, but I'm much better today. However, the weather sucks. It's all of 46 degrees at the moment. I woke up several times last night - back pain for sure - but mostly the awful racket made by the basketball size hail hitting the roof and siding.

I haven't picked up a camera in over a week now. I'm getting itchy. I've been poring over my collection of photo books - and visting lots of photoblogs - it's time for me to make my own images. I hope to get out to the botanical gardens tomorrow - and spend a little time in the city.

It's Friday -- Friday the 13th! Here's a little information about me: I'm superstitious - very, very superstitious. I typically do NOTHING on Friday the 13th - I don't go out - I don't take calls - nothing. I'm afraid something bad will happen. So - I hide out for the day - hide out from bad things. It's worked so far - knock on wood.

While I'm hiding out, you should enjoy your Friday - and have a wonderful weekend. Oh -- if you want a great movie to see this weekend - see CRASH - then, tell me what you think. Take someone you love - and get extra butter on your popcorn...
