I had to re-install windows on my laptop today. Now I have to make sure that everything that should be working is. Then there are some other programs I use that will need to be re-installed. This machine is getting older, so I may have to shop for a new hard drive soon. Seems like […]

or was that a tube? Or a film container? What was the latitude? I decided to go on a treasure hunt while my daughter was in play rehearsals. I was thinking it would be a good way to get a little exercise and play with my new GPS. So I loaded in a bunch of

Derek (another Tangents’ Blogger), posed the question “Who wants to be a superhero?” in his blog. My first thought was about the Saturday evenings I spend with my oldest daughter, her husband, and a few friends. For the past few months, we spend Saturday being superheroes.

Trying again to move pictures and other files around to help keep thing in order on my computer. I’ve never really been much of a picture taker, but with a digital camera it is so easy just to keep clicking away. I’m still trying to file all of my video files, but they take much
I usually spend Saturday evenings at my oldest daughter’s house. This is 1 hour away from where I live, so it is a bit of a drive to get home. We go late into the evening playing all sort of games, the normal game is some sort of ‘role playing’ game. The games are always
