Another Happy New Year!

Let’s see, since the last time I posted an article we’ve had Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza and New Year’s, plus some others that escape me on account my particular ethno-centricity. Out of all those events, I’d have to say Christmas was the most eventful and memorable. Whew, what a stomach flu! Aside from that, I seem to recall a trip to California’s Bay Area.

I could, of course, write several hundred words about the trip, the visit, the relatives, the events, but I think I may have to break it up into additional articles. I spent most of the day today (Saturday Jan. 6 – not sure what date stamp will show up on this) offloading image files from the camera’s memory card to the computer, and then going over them with a bit of cropping here and rotating there, and then uploading them to my Flickr account where they are, for the time being, designated as “private” so only the chosen few to whom I’ve sent the magic URL can look at them.

I also edited and stitched together some video files that I took with the digital camera, to make a three minute “movie” that y’all can watch by clicking here, assuming your computer has Windows Media Player or some other program capable of playing “.wmv” files. It’s a “mere” 7.4 MB in size, so it’ll be helpful if you have a broadband connection.

After all that, it’s a bit after midnight, Becky’s gone off to bed, and I’m about to go that way myself. But, I couldn’t call the day’s work complete until I got the movie uploaded and got the announcement thereof posted; not that anybody will be wanting to check any of that stuff out until sometime tomorrow, I imagine.

To wrap things up for now, Happy New Year, everybody!
