A Bad Day With A Camera

The Name Game

I have a bad habit of casually assigning names to people and things, only to discover afterward that the names have stuck. I referred to Jennifer E. who got me floating on the Bow River this year as Sugar Jen. This is because she does sugaring, a sort of hair removal. I needed to differentiate her from the other Jennifer I know, the one I am married to. That one is Boss Jen.

Anyhow, Boss Jen and I visited Sugar Jen for a backyard BBQ yesterday evening. We had originally planned on a picnic at Johnson’s Island for after work Friday but wind. So much wind. Again, or is that still? Ugh.

Of course my casual nicknaming came out in the introductions wherein I felt the hair being removed from the back of my neck by Boss Jen’s laser gaze. No sugaring required for that depilation.

It was a most enjoyable evening with Sugar Jen and her husband around a fire pit in their lovely backyard. Of course I got some pictures. I usually do, but it was nice to have a relaxing night and not have to think of chasing down images, just letting them come to me instead.

Oh, and there was visiting as well. More my wife than myself as she is the better socialized of the two of us. I guess that’s why she’s the boss.

Samsung cell phone images. It’s a thing.
