My new scanner has been fun. I played around with it over the
weekend. It is quite amazing what you can get for $150.
Julie had a photo that was too small for the frame so I scanned it in
and enlarged it then printed it out on glossy paper and it looked just
like an original photo. I found a photo of the cherry blossoms
around the tidal basin which I'll send you.
It sounds like your exam was hell and put you through a lot of stress.
It is getting pretty common to raise tuition but to not give more
warning is really poor policy. It really makes it hard for persons
on a limited budget.
I had a good weekend although it was quite busy. Anne (my
daughter) found some fish super store in Lancaster PA. and want me to go
with her to see it. They also had a very large line of outdoor
fish pool stuff so I agreed. I thought it would take about three
hours to drive there but it took just over 2 hours. The place was
about the size of a Wall Mart but for fish, cat. dog, reptile supplies.
I bought a 6'x4' pool liner, filter, pump and accessories for a pool out
back. It is going to make a really nice pool out back next to the deck.
Sunday we went to yoga in the morning and then spent all afternoon
weeding, planting and mulching our plots out front and out back.
We pulled up all the pansies and planted impatiens and petunias. I
also repainted the front door and various other house maintenance items.
We are trying to get the house "fixed up" for a diner party we are
having this coming Saturday in which two other couples from my old job
are coming over (was three but one couldn't make it). Julie has
planned an all vegetarian meal. We haven't done anything like this
in years so we are quite excited about it.
I have read a little about feng shei, it seems interesting. I
haven't been doing as much reading the last few weeks, I got my new
color printer and scanner and that seems to keep me busy. I did
watch X-Files, not a real exciting episode but it was interesting.
Let me know what you think after you watch the tape.
I find that bicycling really helps strengthen my knees.
I have been quite busy today working on configuring one of the servers
for the project I'm working on so I didn't get a chance to write until
just before I was leaving. Till, tomorrow.
