Hi ya--
I just did something I haven't done for a long time--I went for a nice, long, hard walk by myself. I was on my way to the store, but looked up at the sky and said to myself, "hmmmm," meaning, maybe its a good evening for a sunset. I know I've missed a number just from glancing out my window, and I have felt very constrained for a long while now (made all the more real when right after the clock got set back I was up before the sun and saw several very sweet sunrises). Anyway, I turned around and went back home, grabbed my camera and set off for the neighborhood park which is just a few blocks away and has a nice rugged hill on it which I proceeded to climb--which proceeded to kick my butt. So I hiked up the trail to this gazebo there and snapped off about 20 photos of the sunset, then sat down and enjoyed the view as the lights of downtown Reno (7 miles NW) came on. It was a rough day, a rough couple of days actually, but I'm glad I got to go up there again--I really miss those long walks up into nature where I can decompress and just be happy and at peace with myself and my surroundings, and I just had to share this tonight while those pacific feelings are still with me. I know you had a shoot this AM (I am sure that not only that Rob caught everything with his characteristic true-to-life style, but you and your partner had a ton of fun, too, and I am sure you are just about to burst with excitement when your premium site opens for business in just a matter of days (hours, minutes, seconds ...

!!!), so while here I also wanted to say once more how much I appreciate the time you've given to the free site folks, myself included, and while it breaks my heart to say it (and I only say it this way because its tradition), break a leg!
