Staying Focused

We finished our photography class last week and I wanted you all to meet our instructor, Lou. In general, Lou is a great person. He teaches photography at Spanish Fork High School by day and community ed classes by night. He is excited about what he does and has a genuine passion for photography and teaching. Lou is friendly, talented, and knowledgeable. Beyond photography basics, I learned several things from my 5 weeks in his course. I learned that I admire people who are willing and excited to learn. . .regardless of age. I learned that instructors (with entrance keys) should never be late to class. I learned Mark is serious when he says tardiness irritates him. I learned that the history of photography gets to be BORING after an hour. I learned that I didn't learn how to make water milky. I learned that my XT is no "point & shoot." I learned the Mentos can save your life. I learned that one of the most difficult things we'll ever do in life is to stay focused. . .

So what you are saying is: He was late and boring?

From a fellow XT owner, I can help you with the milky water, because every thing I take a picture of is milky. I need help! We must get together so you can share the great tips you learned from your late, boring teacher.

people who are tardy are a means to help those who can't handle tardiness learn patience...and we all know that patience is a virtue.
also, it is a common misconception that is must be the wife who makes the duo tardy...husbands are not always prompt and punctual.

Husbands are ALWAYS prompt and punctual. They don't always look great or are prepared, but they are prompt and punctual.

Oh and did the Cub Bear Mother get my email that I sent?

Sorry to interrupt your blog comments for my personal benefit, but yes Eric I did get your e-mail and Cub #3 is working on questions he wants to ask. Thanks so much for your help. We will be getting in touch with you shortly.

You know Cub Momma and Logan Eric are asking questions about ARCO. Now I can tell them about ARCO. You just go to the map and look at the smallest town in Idaho - ARCO.
Well maybe it isn't the smallest but close. Cub Bear told me he is going to ARCO - doesn't anyone believe him but me?
