We attended ACMA’s Root performance, which featured student choreography including our neighbor Annabelle as a soon-to-be graduating senior. It was beautiful to see creative and artistic movement from the minds and hearts of students.
I personally enjoyed the “hair-ography” in a piece that Annabelle choreographed with two other dancers and the use of the giant screen and lighting to set the mood of several pieces.
I’ve wanted to visit the renovated Portland Airport to see the hyped timber ceilings and modernized welcome point for both visitors and residents. Jenni and I picked up my parents, and we enjoyed the main concourse without the deadline of rushing to a terminal for a flight.
I’ve put this off for too long and we made fun progress through the 147 miniatures we own for Marvel United. For this batch, I worked on finishing the Guardians of the Galaxy characters, but also anti-heroes and villains for gameplay variety.
We were delighted to photograph Steve and Pam’s 50th anniversary party–to see a marriage after many seasons of love instead of the beginning, like a wedding.
I’ve grown to appreciate the optimism and hope that Annie’s story brought to my Christmas season. While I was not impressed by the 1982 movie when we watched it for educational purposes, unsurprisingly, I’m fond of Lovegood‘s production.
Amazon’s expedited delivery is a blessing and a curse. Jenni got a wig delivered on Halloween morning so that I could be a KPop Demon Hunter Saja Boy (or should I say Saja Dad). Kadie used her tattoo markers and drew some of the demon marks on my neck.
Jenni tested 1920s-1930s makeup as an experiment for the upcoming Lovegood production of Annie where she plays in the band.
As for the kids, Kadie was a Chemistry teacher, Violet dressed as a character from her friend’s story, and Bruce was a hitman.
Russell invited Bruce and I to fish in the Columbia River for salmon. We were joined by his friend Harry for an educational morning. Bruce and I learned from working with them to catch Bruce’s first salmon.
