It's late at night. I got back from an RCIA meeting and I just got
finished uploading some more pictures over at
Sights and Sounds. I just wanted to mention a
few quickie news tidbits before I log off. Excuse the lack of
coherent thought flow...
Claire is working on a new poem called
The Turtle. Look for it
soon. We just got finished reading the classic story, Hans
Brinker. Tomorrow I go with Claire to get her sized up for next year's
school uniform. We also watched a funny Jerry Lewis movie last weekend
-
Rock a Bye Baby. Claire also saw his version of
The Nutty
Professor today as well. I hope to see it soon. Corny... a bit,
but at least I don't have to worry while Claire and Abby watch it.
I recently picked up a high capacity memory card (96MB CF) for the
camera so that I could take some high resolution pictures with the
camera. This should allow me soon to set up some albums on a service
like
ShutterFly
so that friends and family members can get "real" prints. One needs to
save at high resolutions for printing, as opposed to web site images.
While a co-worker from another ARC division visited last week, he
showed me some nice (and reasonably inexpensive) software for
cataloging digital pictures into albums, including the creation of
thumbnail previews and automatic generation of web pages for the
albums. Shweet! I may have to look further into that.
Taxes were done last week. Thank goodness this year it was pretty
much a break even year. I hate tax debts
and rebates that are
excessive. Now if I could just get things settled this easily regarding
this year's medical expenses...
Oh yeah, I almost forgot!
Mr. Russell is leaving VAutomation
after this week. Just when we were enjoying hearing about his
vacation.
The girls will certainly miss the instant candy fix
they got at his cubicle whenever they would stop by the VAutomation
office for a visit. The boys will never really know what they missed.
