New Camera

Wednesday, May 30th, 2007

With my old HP camera dying a slow and undignified death, it was time for a new camera.  I talked my lovely wife into letting me get a new camera for an early Father’s Day gift.

St Simon’s Island

Saturday, May 26th, 2007

We thoroughly enjoyed out trip to St Simon’s Island last weekend. It’s not a bad ride, though a tad long at a little over three hours. The atmosphere and amenities of the island itself were great. I look forward to going back sometime soon.
We arrived at noonish on Friday and checked in [...]

Now, granted, Marilyn could be exaggerating the superlatives heaped upon me. Okay, myabe heaped isn’t the [...]

Distracted By The Beauty Of It

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

I’m supposed to be building the bookshelves for my next door neighbor’s den right now.  I keep looking at the wood and thinking of the things I need to do to it and then I look around outside for a second and those wood thoughts are immediately erased.
