Cape Things

In honor of being mindful of how lucky I've been to be living here this last year or so I've set myself a goal to do a Cape Thing every day, or at least several per week. They aren't necessarily things that can't be done elsewhere, but are things that I enjoy doing here and that make me happy. There will certainly be repeats, and that's fine. The point isn't to come up with 50 new things before I go. The point is to savor what I have while I have it.

I promise not to post more than once a week. No, actually, I've decided it'll be once a month.

TvFILM season 8

I got word last night that Passing and Take Out will both air on this season of TvFILM. You know what, it doesn't get old. Clearly the producer there likes my style, but there was no guarantee, especially for those films. They are both older, and neither was made in Albany. So I thought it was worth sharing with them, but I didn't take it for granted.

And now, once again, I get to be part of the quality programming made possible by viewers like you.

Herring Run

The herring are definitely running. So I went to the Brewster Grist Mill (along with every family with small children living on the outer cape) on this fine spring day. I parked myself at one of the waterfalls and shot 90 photos pointing that way. 18 of them managed to have a fish making a run for it. 1 of them anyone other than me would be able to actually see the fish. I just looked for so long I know what to look for.

It's starting to get real

The good news is I found a house while I was in Milwaukee last weekend. I made an offer, we did a little negotiating, and the offer has been accepted. So now it's down to things like the house inspection and the financing. Those are the common things to sink a deal at this point, but I'm not expecting trouble with either.
