I'm baaaaackk...

This has been a really nice vacay. The last two weeks have been spent spring cleaning, the house, the head, the heart, etc. There is still residual clutter but fresh air is flowing in. I love the *idea* of a blog, just as I like the idea of a profession. It is the day to day that is a real bitch. Basically, life in the moment is one massive sensory overload. Just trying to keep up with my parents, my kids, my friends, my relatives, my interests and current events is freaking impossible. I'm trying to put all my photos into digital format, learn photoshop, learn iPhoto, organize all my music and update my iPod (the coverflow feature is pretty cool btw.) This is a big task, made difficult by my deficit of attention. But I have to keep plugging away, after all, I only have to do this once- on a go forward basis it will be cake. Oh, that reminds me, I have to learn how to use the advanced features of my camera. My Dad thinks I am lazy about learning computer-related stuff. The truth is that with the warp speed that is modern life, it doesn't matter if you skip some things since they will be obsolete before you can afford the newest nicest techno toy you crave.
