Well I made it to the great white north all in one piece. It's 25 degrees outside and there is snow on the ground. Will probably snow tomorrow sometime they say. Minnesota is a beautiful place. Very secluded and quiet, just the way I like it. I ended up not packing any of my camera gear this trip. Not enough space in my carry-on. I will have to figure it out before next week's trip, or buy a smaller digital camera? Oooooooh that sounds good too.
The trip up sucked. Both my flights were delayed, one of them by about 6 hours. Yeah I said 6 hours. You heard me right. Northwest airlines bites. That is all I have to say about that.

long time no freakin "hey yo ya doin".. so hey.. how ya doin?
on the small camera... gotta tell ya, do it, it's fun. I finally, just a week or two ago, gave in and did it. Always thought "I should get a good, small digicam.. but I could spend that money on a lens!".. not until my birthday a few weeks back did I give in.. we were at a bar w/ a bunch of peeps and my brother's fiance whips out her like $200 kodak p+s and I played w/ it in some and realized, screw it.. Imma do it.
Picked up a Canon S80. So far, very happy.. it's the higher-ish-end of their small p+s line.. Over all, love it. I'll warn you on the two down sides, #1 -- max iso of 400, #2 -- no RAW. Those two put together kinda suck, but for the shooting I do it's really not THAT BIG an issue... except for concerts... but, I can drag out the big gear for that. Quick "snaps" (with flash), or well lit shots (even a decent macro) at low iso.. nice, works.
