Aside from my Scoobie-like crime solving hijinx, I’ve been rather busy lately. Here’s a run down of what’s been going on.

Last weekend Corinne and I did our final open water dives to be certified scuba divers. The weekend went well and our c-cards are in the mail. I was expecting to be uncomfortably cold (water temp was about 55*), but the wet suits did a great job of keeping us warm. Diving takes a lot out of you – if for no other reason than carrying all the damned heavy equipment!

Wednesday was the first day of the photography course I’m taking at the New England School of Photography. Given that it was the first class, we didn’t do a lot, but the bit we did do sure did help solidify a few of the rough concepts that I had begun amassing. I’m really excited to build a real foundation and know what the fuck I’m doing. Since next Wednesday is the 4th of July, we won’t have class, but will pick things up on the 11th.

Last night, Corinne and I went to the Medieval Manor in Boston to celebrate one of my friend’s birthdays. It was a lot of fun and I think everyone had a good time. There was some frustration getting there in the first place (damned big dig), but we got there on time regardless.

Tomorrow, we have a party/BBQ to go to in the evening hours and before that I’m taking Corinne somewhere. I haven’t told her where (it’s a surprise), but it should be fun. Her persistent attempts at tricking me into revealing the location have all failed – she’s just going to have to wait until tomorrow afternoon. I love a good surprise.

And that largely brings me up to the present. I’m sure there’s all sorts of random things I’ve left out, but that’s the way it is.
