She was lucky--Coming from Kauai and showing up in our area on a beautiful, sunny day--What are the odds? When I picked her up at almost 5 o'clock pm it was in the middle 70's, and for the last day of September that's pretty good.
So now she gets to immerse herself in the family drama unfolding down the street. I won't get into that here because I hate emotional drama and I also don't know facts. No dirt from me... Sorry.
I bought a new video card for her computer a couple days ago and it showed up at work yesterday. I had just enough time to install it before I ran out to pick her up at the airport. Her computer has two monitors plugged into it, and it needed more video crunching power. Her system just ran two slow on anything graphical in nature. It seems to be filling the bill quite nicely so far and it was only 45 bucks. I may have to get myself one while they're still out there to pick from. Ours are not the most current computers in the world and we have to be selective about what will fit and work in them.
I looks like Sarah's college trip to India this January may be in jeopardy. According to her, they need 3 more bodies to sign up for it or the program/trip could get cut. In my opinion everyone that is going should be doing everything humanly possible to get the word out on campus. Sell, sell, sell! Get out there and get more people on board!
My 365 Picture-A-Day blog is officially half way through it's year-long run! Yesterday was post number 183. Posting any picture is easy, but posting something that looks like you put some thought into it is not so easy. Some days the pictures are effortless. My daily activities provide me with some sort of opportunity to be in the right place at the right time to get some good shots. I might also go on the hunt for something good on the way home from work to see if I can get some good shots. Other days (like yesterday) I just don't have the time to get anything good. I have a self-imposed rule that I must take the picture that day--Even if I can't actually get it posted until the following day or whenever (which has happened due to lack of internet or whatever). It's too easy cheat and use pictures from one particular photo event to fill more than one day's post, and many people do that. I won't do that. So, another half a year (groan). It has been a learning experience. It's an exercise in will power, motivation, creativity, and perseverance. While I have had several "make do" pictures over the last half year, I have had some that were amazing. I hope there will be more, but it's not going to be as easy during the next leg of the journey. The daylight hours will be much shorter, and the weather much colder and wetter. Translation: Less time outside.
I'm so glad it's Friday. I normally don't care all that much what day it is because I try to enjoy each day as I can, but I just want to spend some quality time with my wife.
Welcome home Suzie!
