Tooled Up
Yesterday was a normal day, and on my way to work I was carrying:
A laptop
A mobile
A digital SLR
A video ipod
I’d be the first to admit it’s a ridiculous amount for a body to carry on any given day.
And to top it off I forgot my jet boots.
Actually, no. What tops it off is that by 7:55 in the morning I had used all of them (see yesterday’s post)
Apart from the jet boots. I prefer to travel by bus as it makes me less conspicuous. I don’t really enjoy being noticed.
…..and publish.

The words seemed to echo endlessly around their cell. Digging a tunnel had proved fruitless and oddly phallic. Finding a vein had been the laborious task ahead, but they opted to forge ahead while singing “We Are The Champions”.
It wasn’t until they stopped singing that they realised they were never going to see Gdansk. In the dark, damp silence, the candles sputtered out. “Bugger,” said the slightly balder spelunker, “we need tallow - and FAST!”
“WAIT!! What’s THIS!?”

I carry a Palm Treo 700W with me everywhere. It’s a phone, a camera, a
laptop, and an mp3 player and fits in my pocket nicely.
No jet boots though.

I found your blog quite some time ago, and have been a lurker, thought I’d comment. Daily, now, I carry with me my cell (and bluetooth), my laptop, my Nikon D70 (just in case) and the stuggles and drama associated with 3 kids, backpacks, homework, lunches and such. If/when you find the jet boots, please forward the link where I can get me a pair too!

Thanks Becky. I have a P50.
Snap, almost literally.
Two kids though.
You’re clearly an early adopter.
In the camera sense. I wasn’t implying anything else.
Is this answer why you didn’t comment before?
