As of yesterday morning I have purchased a new camera. I have purchased a Nikon D90 with an additional 18-200mm lens. I did so at Ritz Camera in Old Town Alexandria. Well I did so with the help of my credit card, photography equipment is very expensive and I really don’t have a couple grand burning a hole in my pocket. With the purchase Ritz has a multitude of classes I can take and which I plan on taking to gain even more knowledge and hopefully I can help pay for the camera thru work I do with it. Atleast that’s the plan. Ambitious is my middle name. Well its really James but ambitious sounds cooler.

I have run twice with my friend Melody this week. What began as a handshake at a Old Town Tri Club meeting had me working with her as she is a realtor and we have quite a bit in common. This week gave us a chance to run together twice which is something that hasn’t happened in quite some time. I haven’t run twice in the same week with someone since living in Plymouth. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction as to
Last night Danielle and I attended a Navy basketball game. We have the common thread of loving collegiate sports and really have no allegiance just love good competition. I had looked at tickets for Georgetown games or University of Maryland but it is insane how much people wanted for tickets to nosebleed seats on Craigslist. I decided to look into Navy and it was an awesome desiccation. We sat in the front row with a couple great couples in their 70’s they were a trip and one of the guys was a former player for the Midshipmen many moons ago. They also honored the 1986 NCAA Elite 8 team for the Midshipmen which included David Robinson. I have been a fan of him since he went to Navy and no one has been classier in the Pro Sports arena over his entire career. It was a thrill to see him up close.
The rest of the night tonight I am trying to hash out my race calendar for 2011 as the bound planner I have for the year begins to get full pages. I will post as soon as I am done.
My last bit of writing is for my sister Alicia. She is due any day now with her 4th installment of a child. A boy it has been confirmed, Danny and she are quite eager to see the latest arrival. I ask for well wishes as she has entered the final stages of pregnancy and hope for health and happiness for the entire family. I am very excited to see what the bundle of joy will be like and he will be in my thoughts tonight. Have I ever mentioned how much I love being an Uncle? Goodnight all.

Fantastic stuff man, you and I are kindred spirits with the camera, and it is one reason I splurged for my new trail cam, which I got the loot for by picking football winners last year, LOL.
Keep moving forward and living for those dreams!
Great post Josh! Would love to meetup a run either up in MA or down in the DC area in 2011!
Good luck!
