Nesting
Looks like our springlike weather is slipping away. Saturday and Sunday were near short-sleeve shirt weather, although yesterday was wet and windy. THEY are calling for WEATHER tonight; freakin' snow through tomorrow.

I'm back to the grind of doing the last of the business taxes and reports for 2009. Carolyn got a phone call from one of her accounts she lost January last. They are wanting to know how much she will charge to clean offices three nights per week. Although they are looking for sales/production to pick up later this year, this move to get Carolyn back seems to be one of desperation. They are a housing construction related company. Should she get the work, it will just offset the pain of losing the other two buildings which I mentioned a few days ago. She was forced to sell one of her vans last week, so at least we can make one more mortgage payment. Life continues for all living things on a day-to-day basis.

Lots of football idiots are calling for Brett Favre's head after last night's loss to the Saints. It is obvious he made a couple of bad decisions in their final possession, but without his abilities, the Vikings would probably never have gotten into the playoffs, much less the NFC championship game.

I watched a captioned Chinese movie on tv Saturday. It was very, very terrible. It was a historical version of one of our slasher style movies; lots of blood. The plot was excellent, characters, and actors were excellent, but it had some wicked flashbacks all depicting the same thing in an entirely different way; very confusing. Let me say it this way, the movie was so sucky that I couldn't stop watching. Jet Li was in it.

A little more on cameras: If you go with the new lightweights and you are creative in nature, make sure you get a model with easy to use manual controls. Canon has this down pretty well with their p&s S3, except manual focusing can be a pain. My Pentax dslr has an awkward manual mode, but that is not unusual for an entry-level model. In manual, I have to push a button while turning a thumb wheel to change apertures. I mostly used full manual on my Canon S3, but because of design stupidity, I seldom use it on the Pentax. Whichever type of lens-changeable camera you get, you will probably be very surprised at how fast it auto-focuses compared to your p&s.

Happy wash day (or worsh day as we countrified folk called it).

Well it was not just Favre who lost the game. There were all those fumbles that were quite costly. Favre did not have to be in that position if they had been able to hold on to the ball. Poor all around when it counted.
It has to be tough to lose a customer and pick one up that you already had. The back and forth has to get old after some time.
If Canon comes out with the small camera soon that is most likely the route I'll take. They do make it pretty easy for the most part.
For sure the whole team played poorly; it was sort of a weird game. Saints or Colts?
I wish she would retire.
I don't know how soon it will be, but I'm sure they will go where the market leads them. I will keep and eye out for new stuff.
Saints all the way.
If she could retire it would be nice. You could actually spend some time together.
Hopefully they will have one soon.
