My cousin's child is doing a class project. I'm sure many schools from all over the country do the same project, but I received an envelope in the mail with a flat version of Braeden, he's my cousin's kid.
I wanted to get this in much closer to the holiday season, but with the busy work schedule, filling in for vacations and taking my own vacation time, I guess this is better late than never.
As you can guess, a photojournalist has to drive around town quite a bit from assignment to assignment. We see quite a bit as we're out on the roads including bad drivers, a lot of road kill, and more red lights than I care to mention.

I had the chance to meet Sandy Dalton yesterday as we had a story today about her upcoming appearance on the Price is Right this Friday. Sandy went to Hollywood in July for a taping of the show and was asked to "Come on down."
After the Cleveland Browns blew their lead in the Thursday night game to the Broncos I swore I wasn't going spend another Sunday watching them play again this season. Now I have to watch just to see what else could go wrong on a season that had so much promise.
Best Buy, Wal-Mart, Kohl's and Toys 'R Us are probably the most exciting and extended lines to wait in during Black Friday. And believe me, I have seen quite a few of them since working as a photographer at the Register. People wait for as long as 30 hours to get their "deal of the year."
Tuesday was truly a historic day in not just the United States, but in the world.
Regardless of your political party, race or economic status, most of us cared enough to get out and vote Tuesday. And all of us are concerned at some level with what is happening in the world around us.
