I found an interesting “problem†today as I went through the photographs for this recent trip to the mountains. Both my wife and I had digital cameras and I’m loading all the photos into the same iPhoto library. Usually, only one or the other of us are using a camera at the same time, but, … Read more

I forgot to get pictures and will try to get some later, but it is basically several pieces of deep fried batter in long stick shapes, wrapped by another … Read more
8:11PM Well, we’re off. Our flight out of Phoenix was delayed because they had to replace “a gyro†in the cockpit, but despite the 15-20 minute delay, somehow they managed to get us to LA on time. Not that we cared, since we have some much time to kill. We arrived at exactly 6:00PM and … Read more
