Some text

At long last I got my new digital camera. It took forever. The camera went out of stock especially at the discount place where I ordered it to save a dollar and ended up getting a head ache. They kept promising it the next day and it never came, so I ended up just getting it at a local store. So much for shopping on the internet.

I decided to experiment a little to learn about the camera. Jane actually experimented quite a bit more than I did.

All of the pictures shown here are small versions of the original. The thumbnails are shrunk to 5% of the original size and the pictures that pop up are shrunk to 1/6 of the original size. (Actually 1/2 x 1/3). eventually this will change.

There are also movies that should play on Windows machines if nowhere else.

I assembled the camera in my study and took the first picture across the room. Then I recorded the empty chair that I'd be using for my meeting. Then it was outside where Jane and Benjamin were about to start a basketball game since the line for 3 point shots had been drawn. Jane moved well without the ball to get in good position under the hoop but the ball went out of bounds. Jane threw it in and Benjamin got ready get the hoop to the amusement of Fred and Danny causing Danny to strum a few bars. Benjamin brought the ball up He showed it to Jane. He started to dribble. He spied the hoop. Here he was. Here was the basket. Up went the shot. Tune in next time to see if his shot fell.

Meanwhile, Suzanne was preparing hors de ouevers for the half time snack.

Play resumed with Daniel joining the game and Kaylen talking on the phone

until she hung up and joined the game.

John Huang pulled up to drop off Justin and since he had no place to eat and Benjamin had no one else under 21 to eat with, he came back for dinner after taking the kids to the movie and Montgomery.

Dinner was good. There was a bowl of cherries because life is like a bowl of cherries. I had vegetarian wings covered with salsa so there wasn't much left. Benjamin had the real things and these were left for Jon. as Suzanne hid and Benjamin tried to run away but the camera caught him and Jon arrived. Sarah came in from Shirley's and left for Spiderman but she paused for these 2 pictures.

Then it was Saturday. Jane got this manicure and posed for the camera before taking this picture of the flash and of me serving gourmet lunch first to the empty table and then to Nathaniel making his dork face and Benjamin looking away as Jane was amused by the Capri Sun and Nathaniel did his blind man imitation

Jane recorded her hand and fingers as her plate and Benjamin's and Nathaniel's got cleared so that the boys could play basketball at the hoop

As an experiment, Jane made this movie of Benjamin in action with the ring from FristFest
