Today I had the joy of photographing an event. This particular event was for a 50th Wedding Anniversary! It was so great to see so many friends show up to help celebrate this special occasion. It’s encouraging to think about Leslie and I, 50 years from now, still being in love. Sappy, I know. She’s the one who has the hard job. She is easy to love, and I am … well, I’m me.
This weekend we had a great time hanging out. Saturday morning I bought some storage for our kitchen, and she went to work, but after that is when the fun started. We went to the local Lexus dealership for a radio event. My buddy, and DJ, Chris Cantore was hosting an event with a sweet jazz band and some giveaways. We were going specifically for a getaway trip (for a honeymoon that we’ll take someday) or tickets to go see Phoenix in September. We didn’t win the trip (because they haven’t picked winners yet) and we didn’t win Phoenix tickets, but the person who won them did give them to us!
After that we went to the beach. We were talking down the stairs and saw a rock that looked like a sea lion on the beach. Sure enough, this rock was breathing!! I took a rare chance and kneeled down and pet its tail. It looked up at me like, “What the crap do you think you’re doing?” and eventually made his way into the waves to escape my tormenting. We walked a while, saw a jellyfish, and then made our way back to the car. Here’s where the weekend gets really good. We got SLURPEES! If anybody knows me, you know how much I love these things (hello 7-11 sponsorship).
So there you have it, my weekend in a nutshell. I’d add more about a great conversation with Chris Cantore but some secrets are better left as secrets. All I have to say is that I’m glad this guy is on the radio again, and I’m glad he stayed in San Diego. He loves this town and that’s what really counts.
