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

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
