When I agreed with Kathy to restart our blog with Project 365, I didn’t think she would be quite so … relentless about it.
My share of the project sounded like not such a big deal — just post a quick picture every other day — what could possibly go wrong?
I didn’t know there would be all kinds of rules.
Today is an odd-numbered day, so I’m responsible to uphold the sanctity of the Project. Never mind that I’m tired, and my bus was late, so I missed my train. Never mind that I spent all day in a 5th floor cubicle, and that I didn’t take any pictures today. Never mind that it is 10:40 pm, and I have to be up at 5:30 tomorrow morning.
“I’ll just use one of the great pictures I took yesterday,” I told Kathy, confidently. I took 87 pictures yesterday while we visited Mount Rainier for David’s birthday. A number of them were pretty darn good pictures, if I do say so myself.
“No, you can’t do that!” Kathy was aghast. “You have to take a picture today!”
“Since when?” I challenged, lamely.
“That’s what Project 365 means,” Kathy insisted, rather scornfully.
Fine. She doesn’t want one of my great pictures from yesterday, and hogged the day for her own pictures of that glorious mountain? I can roll with that.
This is the face of a man who forgot to take a picture today.
Today is also an historic moment in the life of our blog — with this blog we will exceed (in 2015) the number of postings from all of 2014, so some might say we have already succeeded in our effort to enhance our blog-writing.
It looks like it might be a pretty good year, for blog-writing.
Project 365, Day 48

Haha nice Selfie!
Now see how easy that was? And the photo shows real life, raw emotion. Moving, very moving.
Thank you dad for having a …. “Cheerful” spirit!
This gave me a good chuckle. Speaking of chuckle, I hear you had a good one at my daughter’s expense. Chris Tomlin’s Jesus Loves Me ring a bell? She is her father’s daughter…
My goodness. Give the man a public forum and look how he presents me. Relentless. Tyranny. Rules.
Sigh. Look at what I put up with. I’m a Project 365 Martyr
LOL Martyr – the very word I was thinking as I read….. love the selfie, Tim.
