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.

Late last week my adorable little laptop decided to die. I would turn it on and it would go through the motions, but right before I could log in it would shut off. This was frustrating because Lloyd has been so swamped with working on his school’s website, I didn’t want to trouble him to [...]
