Of interest to @jimstares, today marks the 49th anniversary of the Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes at Disneyland.
Granted, the canoes were there since 1956, but theĀ āDavy Crockett Explorer Canoesā name came into being in 1971. They were the āIndian War Canoesā from 1956-1971. Thank goodness for the name change.
But as I know you were a Canoe Guide, I thought this would be a good thing to point out.

Love the playlist, if I may make some suggestions (unsure if all are on Spotify or not) - Everybody Fits (Altar Boyz), Finale: I Go To Rio (Boy from Oz), For Now (Avenue Q), Raise You Up / Just Be (Kinky Boots), Forget About The Boy (Thoroughly Modern Millie, I prefer the Sutton Foster version, but that's mostly because I love her). Stay safe and cheers - Jim
ahh i will check them out, thank you!! š„°
You are a wonderful person and your blog always brings a smile to my face. No question, just thought you should know. Cheers - Jim
You're so kind! š„°
Music questions - The 1's please. Go!!
1. your favorite album openerChris Young "That Makes Me"
11. a song from an international artistI Googled "international artists" and seriously didn't recognize anyone. Ā I don't listen to international music, so I really have nothing to offer.
21. a song from a local artistKenny Loggins "For the First Time"
I also Googled 'San Diego musicians' and came up pretty empty. Ā I recognized a couple of people (Eddie Vedder?), but nobody I really listened to. Ā So I decided to use Seattle as my "local".
B - You asked for questions... I see that you've highlighted the bokeh technique in you last couple of picture posts, any tips for us beginners trying to learn how to do this? Thanks and cheers - Jim
Hi Jim!
Yeah, so Iām OBSESSED with bokeh right now. I donāt know if itās Christmastime that brings it out in me, or if itās just theĀ ātaste of the momentā kind of thing. Either way, there are a few things you can do to achieve this look. The first being a wide open aperture on your lens when youāre shooting. The Christmas photo I posted of Soley was shot at f/1.8. That creates a very shallow depth of field, and really blows out all of the detail in the background, creating the bokeh on the tree.Ā
The second thing I did with that image is a bit of a cheat, but I stand by the creative process. I work almost exclusively in Adobe Lightroom, and there are some amazing presets you can download that composite bokeh on top of your images, with incredible customization.Ā
The presets donāt work for every image, and using them sparingly is the absolute key. But, when they work, they work.
You can also get that bokeh overlay look the old fashioned way, by holding some fairy lights super close to your lens when shooting, so they fall way in front of the plane of focus, but I only had two hands - one to shoot and the other to keep the toddler from yanking the string of lights out of the plug.Ā
Hope this helps!

Dude! What's the average life expectancy of your family, cause I kinda get the impression that you're trying your best to bring down the average ;-) Hope you're feeling better soon!! Cheers - Jim
73 for the gentlemen and 95 for the ladies. Ā barring the occasional ER-worthy trip, we tend to be an astonishingly healthy lot. Ā Mostly Iām really fucking itchy and grouchy right now.
@jimstares mentioned you in a post: āOne of our SIP (Shelter In Place) projects last weekend was to go...ā:
@ahnsaelā - It's possible my memory is faulty, but I seem to recall that it was only CM's and invited Guests (friends and family).
My memory could also be faulty. I may be confusing it with the hula hoop record they also set.
My one CLEAR memory from Blast to the Past was winning a yo-yo when I went through the entrance one day, and having a cast member later tell me to stop doing theĀ āaround the worldā trick with it because of the danger of hitting someone (and the cast member was right to confront me on that).

Okay, last time I tried to install a light I KNOW...
Well done mate!
Thanks, Jim! I avoided any expletive-filled tirades today (the second time with the same setup let me learn from the last time). I was surprised that I hooked it up to the second switch (the one that used to control the fan, not the light) but Iāll take it. There also appears to be some sort of label on the inside of the dome below the light, so thereās one dark spot, but that was all one piece and after the last one fell apart when I tried to take it off, Iāll just deal with it.
Itās notĀ āprofessional installationā good, but it works for me.
