Revved up like a…sorry, I’ll stop. It’s just the first phrase that came to mind when I took this photo the other night. As Jojo and I were leaving the table tennis club a few days ago, (after he beat me 5 matches in a row), we were stopped dead in our tracks by this sight in the parking lot. It was almost as if an alien ship was flooding the ground with light to prepare for a landing!
In reality, it was just a street light shining from behind a big tree. But the intense burst of light, the rays shooting everywhere, was awesome! And this picture barely does the real thing justice, it was way more amazing in person. This photo was taken with my iPhone!
I wanted to share this with everyone for a few reasons. Number one, I just love this photo, it embodies and inspires the sci-fi hemisphere of my brain. And second, to encourage all of you to find the amazing things that typically appear “normal” in our everyday lives. This was just a street light and a tree. But when viewed on a foggy night, lined up just so, it became so much more. Now go and see what’s really out there!

Hi Marissa:
I sent you a card but it was returned because we had an incorrect address. I had wanted to apologize for the way you were treated before the Gala by some folks I won’t mention. I wanted to see if I could convince you to come back to the club. We truly miss you and Joe. What I said in my card is that I would support you as being the official photographer of the club. Please either give me a call or email me so we can discuss things.
Sincerely,
Mark Adelman
Chairman
