After being in this community for ten years, we were finally in town on the weekend of their biggest annual event — The Dewberry Festival. It’s a nice, little local event. The Classic Car Show brought an interesting variety of vehicles — most newer than 1950. There was a pleasantly … Continue reading →
Yes, I sound pretty annoyed lately. I’m not quite as annoyed or frustrated as it might sound, but if these things are bothering me, they may bother one of you some day soon — or maybe it already is bothering you. I will say this: I should have emailed Easy … Continue reading →
I probably haven’t mentioned my strong distaste for iTunes’ draconian presumptions about how I want to manage syncing my iDevices. I presume the presumption that data must only flow one way — especially with respect to music, video, books, etc — is based entirely on the presumption that if people … Continue reading →
Hubby and I bought our wedding rings at a Montgomery Mall jewelry store shortly before our wedding in 1994. They are a white gold outer band and yellow gold inner band. Mine has been spinning on the band since shortly after we got it. This year, my two bands separated … Continue reading →
Hubby and I observed something surprising the other day. I know I’ve mentioned that Natasha isn’t fond of Ajax in these spaces before. She’s more tolerance of the kittens.

This won’t be even remotely comprehensive, but after 24 hours, I wanted to capture my first impression of the iPad2. This thing is really light. Could it be too light? And slippery. Yes, it’s every bit as slippery as the original iPad. And I can’t find a case that I’m … Continue reading →
I went back to the Apple Store (North Star Mall) yesterday to see about getting an iPad 2, 64G WiFi model. All they had was a 64G Verizon model. The Apple Store rep suggested the best chance would be to come in Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday between 8:30 and 9:00 … Continue reading →
We’re working in San Antonio for a couple of weeks. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, but the transition between houses seems to have thrown the kittens for a loop — especially Tarzan. I went to the Apple Store for a little while tonight and perused the new MacBookPros, iPad2s, and … Continue reading →
The new camera was at the PO Box this morning, a Fujifilm FinePix F550EXR. So I mailed off the completed tax return (61 cents postage) and picked up the camera. I’d checked the measurements, and it was supposed to be about the same size as my Sony, but in reality, … Continue reading →
We’re very pleased. Someone hauled away all our bulky free stuff yesterday. We put out a few more items that we scrounged yesterday afternoon for today, but the only taker was someone who hauled off a stove vent hood. Other people purchased a mixture of large and small items. The … Continue reading →
