Awareness

One of our good friends, Melissa, was sexually assaulted last weekend during “Spring Weekend,” the University of Connecticut’s biggest party weekend. She was brave enough to publish the story in The Daily Campus and also on her blog. I’d say more, but I’ll let her tell her own story, so please click those links.

Update: Her story has also been featured in the Hartford Courant and Journal Inquirer newspapers.

April 23 & 24 – Recap

Just a quick update for those of you on the edge of your seats when it comes to our lives.

  • I re-chipped the tooth that was repaired on Monday.
  • I sent my favorite lens – a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM – in for repairs. The front piece of the lens body was coming loose. With just under a month left on the three-year extended warranty, the timing was pretty much perfect!
  • I stepped on a hot coal from the grill. The coal became embedded, resulting in what appears to be a black crater in the ball of my foot.
  • I discovered a deep laceration in Data’s left rear leg that has become infected, so he is now on antibiotics (again) and will need hot compresses twice a day.

    In other news, Julia completed all of her classwork for a S.C.U.B.A. certification. She has promised that she will post about it, but has not done so yet. Also, I’m working on a really big photography-related post, but it will take me quite a while to finish.

    Bike Ride

    Today I went for a bike ride and took a few photos.  Click “there’s more to…” to see them all.  Bonus photo of my chipped tooth before I had it fixed earlier today.

    first of all this little black pomeranian that lives near julias house gave me a real hard time this morning. then a boxer growled at me too! but that was nothing compared to what happened later!

    i went to visit bretts aunts dogs but one of them was really mean! she bit me on my lip and both ears! she even put a rip in one ear and i have a fat lip! brett and his mom gave me an earring to hold things together and used some glue on my lip and i am on some medicine for a little while so it looks like everything will be okay. i am going to have a nice long sleep tonight and try to forget about it!
