SLR

Baleen and Grizzly are speaking a foreign language. Something about apertures, shutter speed, and 18x55. I think it's got something to do with Baleen's Black Friday toy which has everything to do with Baxter.

I've retired to the kitchen with Wood Duck for extra helpings of apple streusel ala mode where we still can't escape what they're talking about. Wood Duck is telling me that Grizzly's interest in photographs stretches back to Alaska, when he earned a relatively high wage compared to his immediate needs and bought himself an expensive camera, then got out in that great wilderness to use it and even developed the pictures himself. This was back when he built himself a bark canoe and kept a wolf that you didn't get near during feeding time.

There's a pile of books I'd like to read, but shouting for attention even louder than the baby books is a 200 page Samsung manual. We can't have all our family photos of just Baxter or Baxter and me. Baleen needs to be in one or two, too.
