About a week ago I noticed that my Joby tripod was missing from among my birdwatching gear. For those of you unfamiliar with this piece of equipment, it’s a brand of flexible tripod that uses jointed balls for its amazing flexible legs which allow it to change shape as needed and to grip on anything they can wrap around.
Yes, the legs look like anal beads.
I’d planned to go out and grab some coffee yesterday and I know my stepdaughter loves her iced vanilla latte, and so I went looking for her to invite her along. It was just us in the house for the day. I had papers to write and she’s studying for upcoming college entrance exams, so I figured coffee would be a nice way to build in a break.
I looked down the hall and noticed her bedroom door was open several inches, and not thinking that she was in a private moment, I pushed it open.
