It is the Holiday, not the Season

I relish the escape from Christmas in December when I go to Florida. It is easy to just kind of slide by the hoopla under the palm trees. Now it is evident that the stress is self induced. Janet is mistress of the vittles and I am master of the revels. The Christmas in July event has grown to 20 guests and tomorrow is the day. The main fly in the ointment has been a photo project for Guy and Janet. Her mom is also a recipient. Kodak "easy share" (har-de-har-har) digital frames are not the cinch the the name implies. I have lots of photos taken over the last 10 years ( lots of his recently departed dad) and I sneakily copied Guy's recently because Guy has trouble erasing his camera cards. I emailed Janet's brother and he emailed quite a few. Of 2700 pictures, I winnowed them down to 547 and had to load a thumb drive one picture at a time with the proprietary "easy share" software. It seems they don't duplicate. I have product but it is not the product I wanted. I started early and am running out of time.

I will assemble 20 packages tomorrow for a random drawing. Inside each is some cool stuff and a gag or two. Should be fun. It will be good to have it over-lots of fun and glad to have it over-sounds a lot like traditional Christmas.

Nasty winds today. The Lindy was rocking and it is well protected. I have pretty much lived out there the last few days working on pictures. FortunatelyI have been feeling well.

One nice thing was a technology success story. The 3G store has USB gadgets for about $40 which turns the old computers into WiFi enabled computers. So my aircard now extends to the Lindy, the deck, the old tower computer and the laptops. The oasis is wired.
