Got four movie tickets.

Took the kids to see "The Good Shepherd" (not that Good Shepherd, it's
a movie about the CIA). Excellent flick, by the way. Judging by the
previews for several upcoming films where graphic violence and special
effects have been substituted for plot, dialogue, and character
development, we won't be seeing too many movies for a while. It's nice
to head into the post-Oscar wasteland with a good one under the belt.

Four movie tickets and an afternoon with my son and daughter home for
the holidays?
Way cool indeed.

We tried that several years ago. The GSD unwrapped them and thought they
were squeak toys.

We got an iRobot "Roomba". Strange and amazing little sucker.

After watching it vaccuum a few rooms in it's own silly OCD way... we named
it "Little Mr.Monk".

I'll know I've mastered the dark side of the force, when it runs away in
terror at the sight of me approaching.... :))

Yep...

An 8 piece S&K 3/8 extension set. From 1-1/2 to 24 inch extensions.

Not the biggest or most expensive present, but I love nice tools.

Oh, and a gift card from Northern. They have a workbench on sale,
half rubber topped, half steel topped, 2 drawers and 3000 lbs
capacity. If they have one in stock, it'll be in my shop today.

I hope you are going to take some photo classes to go along with the
camera. You do know that camera was designed to for nude photos.

Yeah, pretty cool. One question: What the hell does the winding lever do
on a digital camera? Wouldn't it be cool if it was attached to a little
internal generator that recharged the battery in the field? Maybe not.

Nice camera. Isn't that called a
point-n-fiddle-n-measure-n-tweak-n-shoot? :-)

Reminds me of a friend back in my college days who was attending the
Art Institute of Atlanta, taking photography. For a class project, he
checked out two 4x5 view cameras, in their big, heavy cases, and a
large, heavy tripod. We hiked those cameras about a mile upstream
somewhere in northern GA to some falls, and set them up in the middle
of the stream to photograph the falls. Managed to do it without
dropping anything into the water.

That broke me from ever ever wanting anything bigger than a 35mm SLR.
:-)

It is - I've spent the entire morning just reading the get aquatinted
material. :)

And it looks like I'm going to have to break down and buy Photoshop
CS2 (or 3 - apparently there is a Beta version out).

Take a hard look at PhotoShop Elements 5.0 before you write the check for
CS2 or CS3. Elements provides at least 85% of the photo editing
capabilities of the CS product, but with is much easier to learn and a
fraction of the price.

OK, it's an old style designed digital camera. Prolly very expensive too
(hats off to the kids). Is it really practical though? What do lenses cost?
Are they even available? I'll take my 10 meg Canon Rebel any day. It's the
same one my bud (a professional photographer) makes a VERY good living with.
No offense.

Oh yeah, the spelled color wrong in the specs. ;-)

I finally levered one of those little "spacesaver spares" of its rim and
gave it to him to play with. He still has it and loves it.

Up in NH I have an old 15" 60 series "Belted T/A" spare for the Vette
hanging around. He still tries to drag that out of the shed to play with it
when he sees it.

What's odd, is that they spelled it BOTH ways in the same document. That's
very unusual.

I tried a wheel barrow tire for my guy and it didn't take long before I was
cleaning up pieces of tire from everywhere. I'll give that mini-spare idea a
try. The BEST part is that he chews on nothing unless I give it to him. No
furniture, shoes, kids balls, etc. He's a good pup.
