Mother’s Day Present…attempt

by

About a month ago, Sarah sent me this really cool link. Someone had attached a camera…some disposable job…to a park bench and invited folks to take pictures. Some were of themselves…others of things around the bench. It was like a day in the life of the bench. It was pretty interesting.

So, I got this idea. I proposed to Sarah on a park bench at our local park. I decided to take the idea of the “day in the life” one step further. I planned on attaching a camera and leaving a note explaining the connection between the bench and my family and ask people to shot away. I then planned on taking those shots and making a coffee table book for our new house. I was going to use the note as a front page of the book.

So Tuesday I set my plan in motion. I figured that would give me time to get the pictures on a disk, upload them to “My Publisher” and get the book back by mother’s day. I was outta town most of this week and it’s supposed to rain this weekend, so Tuesday had to be the day.

I dropped Tony off at daycare and swung by the park. I used some aircraft cable… it’s good to work in theatre… and attached the camera and left the note. The plan was in motion.

That evening, after dropping Jack off at his house, I raced through Wal-Mart and grabbed a couple things. I figured that would explain why it took me so long to get home. I then raced to the park…

And the camera was gone.
