The curse of the dorks

My aunt Ruth sent a bunch of wonderful slides for my parents’ anniversary, and I wanted to incorporate them into a movie. I needed a slide scanner, though, and didn’t have time to go buy one. In a quick internet search I found a diagram for making a low-tech slide scanner attachment out of paper. [...]

Cedaredge Lodge

So, here’s the story of our hotel. Since all the siblings were descending on the parents for the weekend, we thought it would make everything easier if we just stayed in hotel rooms.

Box of Yawn… then Yay!

I came home tonight to a box on the front steps. Woo-hoo! (That’s always exciting, until I realize it’s boring technical stuff that Lloyd has ordered for school.) This box, though, this box had handwriting. Sellers of technical stuff don’t have handwriting, so this was a positive sign. It took me a minute to realize [...]

Eighteen Years

Happy Anniversary, Lloyd! One more year and you’ll have put up with me longer than my parents did! Lloyd and I are spending the weekend in a less romantic way than last year – he is working on the school website and I have a video project to work on and a series of naps [...]
