Sorry, no Misadventures in Stock Photography today! (Surely there must be one from a couple years ago you haven’t seen yet?!!) I waited until too late Sunday to start working on it, and by then I was cranky about my washing machine’s spin cycle going out, plus vaguely migrainey (a theme throughout the weekend) on top of that. On the plus side, I did get the place cleaned and even grouted the tub over the weekend…

Think cool thoughts – Minneapolis and environs are going to be in an excessive heat/humidity warning for much of the week.
