Tuesday Trips to Cunningham lane

On my last trip to Mom and Dads, I left the room for about five seconds, returning to find both Dad and JT fast asleep. This is one of those moments that needed to captured for posterity, but I was without my own camera.

I raced back to the kitchen to grab Moms digital camera to get the shot, but then to my chagrin, found that the batteries were dead. Later I found out that she stopped using her Cannon PowerShot once she drained the rechargeable battery the first time. This was a Christmas present from her husband, which I can only assume is thought of in the same light as the bicycle helmet purchased years earlier. I ran to the computer room to try dads super mega digital SRL, with similar results. The camera had enough juice to power up the lens, but any attempt to actually take the picture shut the camera down.

My only remaining option was to pop out the trusty camera phone and take the shot. Dad began to snore at this point and woke himself up shortly after the picture was taken.
