RICK PRESTON ASKED,
Are you thinking of stopping this blog? I hope not....I come for the photos and for the occasional dig at those grumpy grandpas at TOP.
My response: No. I am not thinking of stopping this blog.
That written, the wife and I took a 2 day break from our 6 week break at Rist Camp. She had a conference to attend in Cooperstown, NY (a 3 hour drive from Rist Camp). ASIDE: if you did not know, Cooperstown is a small, pictureque / quaint village-at the foot of Otsego Lake in eastern mid-state NY-which is home the National Baseball Hall of Fame. END OF ASIDE.
It has been 30 years or more since I have been to the Baeball Hall of Fame, even though I have been to Cooperstown about 8 times over those 30 years - several times for a couple of gallery photo exhibits and, of course, for few other of the wife's conferences. And, it was while I accompanied the wife for one of her Cooperstown conferences that I attended, at the Fenimore Art Museum, a very engaging photo exhibition, "HERB RITTS / The Rock Portraits.
In any event, I enjoy visits to Cooperstown cuz, while the wife does her conference thing, amongst other things, I get to golf on a beautiful course-albeit, iMo, at $130.00US a round, a bit over-priced-that is part of the hotel and I get eat breakfast at the Cooperstown Diner.
