Long time no blog!

It's been a while since I've taken time to blog. It seems as if I have a hard time deciding which way to utilize my creative streak: writing? or photos? Lately, photos have been winning out. I was laughing with my friend bill the other day, explaining how I always make sure I have my camera first, then my wallet... to me, my camera is like an American Express card: Don't leave home without it! cuz you never know what you'll see on the roads!


School is going well, although some of it can be boring. We've been covering computer hardware in one class for the last two weeks. Classes must be geared for a little bit younger set, most of them were just babies when the first computers came out, broke down and we tore them apart for fun. My other class is more about libraries and how they function different from a patron standpoint vs a librarian standpoint, specifically lately, search engines such as Google or the academic kind. All in all, its a good thing!

I'm also in the process of house hunting. What a chore! I'm not liking it one little bit. As a single income, of course, funds are limited. And I'd like something in town for the time being, what with school and all. If I got way on the outskirts, I would become lazy and not want to drive all that way twice a week for classes. So... I'm still hunting.

This morning I went for an early walk, and parts of it turned into a jog -- that must be related to the cool hi-60s temps; I'm never much of a jogging type person! But I love being out in the early morning, watching the other folks who are morning people like me. There was a group on one hill doing some very vigorous calisthenics; another group that seemed more theatrical in that they seemed to be posing for photos and rehearsing some sort of choreographed type thing. (I was way across the park and by the time I got around to that side, they were done!); and yet another group who seemed to be "practicing samurai warriors". Some in long skirt looking things, with a long stick in their hands, brandishing it in arcs up over their heads as they marched down one side of the hill. Interesting sight!

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was performed by a local theater production here in town. Two of my fellow Walmartians were in the production. Steve, as always did a fine job as Pontifer. And Mark --- BRAVO! on your execution of Pharoah, Elvis style!! Nothing like watching a co-worker strut his stuff on stage!

That pretty much sums up the little things going on in this corner of the world!

HUGS to everyone!
