Picasa 3
I just saw an ad for a free download that lets one do amazing photo edits. Rather that download an unknown program from the web, I look for what I need on the Google More tab from the Google main page. I have been a fan of a Google application, Picasa 3, for several years. It has just about every basic fix Adobe photo shop has, and it is free. (Not that I dislike Adobe, I just appreciate high quality, free, fully-vetted software.)

Dallin has successfully "graduated" from Christopher Academy...
Weeks are like days. Days are like hours. That is how I described how fast life is going for me right now while on the way home from Dallin's elementary school graduation ceremony. Amber and I are just amazed at how quickly the last five years have passed since we attended his kindergarten "graduation" from Holy Nativity School in Panama City, FL. Christopher Academy, here in Portsmouth, VA, has been a great school. Dallin's class is highly regarded by the teachers at the school. Most of the children were together since kindergarten, with Dallin joining them in first grade. It's fun to see their friendship.

Trying to figure out how to make the Amazon search window work
I'll be honest by saying I think Amazon and Google are amazing companies. Now I just need to figure out how I can be a part of their teams.
First Post - Weekend travel
I'm looking to get something on paper about this last weekend. Amber and I made plans to drive to D.C. and stay with Juli's friend, Eden. Friday afternoon, my sister Wendi called to say she was in town (and had been since Tuesday). I was happy to hear from her, but Amber and I decided to press with our weekend plans. We visited the Mormon Temple and the National Cathedral on Saturday. We are listening to Dan Brown's newest novel, The Lost Symbol, on CD. With an imagination whetted by the book's plot, we were on the lookout for Free Mason symbolism. It did not take us long to find some. This weekend I learned that George Washington was a Free Mason of the highest degree, and that our nation's capital was built according to principles of Free Masonry. It was interesting looking at all the monuments in Washington, D.C. from the perspective provided by this book.
