de-framing photos

I decided to do some more cleanup around my home. it meant looking at the framed photos i had, and there was way too many. this was due to many of the early 'ring of honor' photos being framed. i stopped doing that when i realized i was running out of space, and it can get expensive to get all of those frames. so now those photos are all in the 'ring of honor' photo album. i did well on getting it whittled down to the highlights in my life. there are now just six framed photos on top of my fridge. two are friends from high school, one from college, two are office colleagues, and one is from performing. it was the cast of the fringe show i was in, with the resistable comic. in some ways it was like what i learned in history class about the American flag. where at first they gave each state a star and stripe, but this didn't work well. so it was changed back to 13 stripes for the original colonies. even in my bedroom, i cut back, now down to one, it had been two. i say all the time i am 'stressing quality' and this is yet another way of doing so. actually i am waiting to change what is in that one. it was a giveaway item at a st. louis cardinals baseball game many years ago, and i decided the proper photo for that frame was one of me at the all-star game in st. louis in 2009. plans are to get one of me with my st louis friend in there, from when we attended a game together last summer. i was at Walgreen tonight getting more photos on a disc, and a few printed, as well. it took a while as i had two memory cards and a USB flash drive, and when it was 'copying files' going from one media to the next i had plenty of waiting. a employee said i could walk around the shop while i was waiting but i said i was paranoid that somebody would prank me so i told myself it was best to watch it while i was waiting.
    i did a few other things today, starting with going to a college baseball game at the saints stadium. there as a doubleheader scheduled, hamline playing Augsburg. found out later on what hamline won both games. i left after 9 innings in the first game, tied 8-8, Augsburg rallied and got 5 runs to tie it. the games were to last just 7 innings, the website said the first game lasted 11. i needed to go as i wanted to get to an open-mic, the one where the resistable comic is show runner. then in the evening i watched the historic 'simpsons' episode, as it passed 'gunsmoke' for most prime time episodes.
   the 10pm news was on by the time i got home from Walgreen, so i did the dishes and said i would go back and pick up the photo order in the morning as i knew i was tired.
