With a few of the dollars I received from my parents, I decided to do minor splurge and replace my older tape-based Sony handycam with one of the newer digital units which record directly to a hard drive in MPEG2 format ... wow .. this unit even records audio in Dolby 5.1 surround sound .. !!

I was also thinking a lot about my mother .. she and my father divorced when I was about nine years old, and like so many nasty divorces, I ended up with not one photograph of my mother. Any photos that my father did have were cut up so that the portions that included my mother in them were missing.... I do have a lot of memories of her, starting at about 4 years old until my parents part... read more A picture began circulating in November. It should be 'The Picture of the Year,' or perhaps, 'Picture of the Decade.' It won't be. In fact, unless you obtained a copy of the US paper which published it, you probably would never have seen it. The picture is that of a 21-week-old unborn baby named Samuel Alexander Armas, who is being operated on by surgeon named Joseph Bruner. The baby was diagnosed with spina bifida and would not survive if removed from his mother's womb. Little Samuel... read more

I was in our home theater building at the time which is behind our house, and was on the internet at the time .. this building sits on 8"X8" pressure-treated skids that run the length of the building and the building sits on concrete. Some stuff fell off some of the bookshelves and I was holding on to the computer LCD screen so it wouldn't fall over ... S... read more

Elaine has a mind that move from High Tech to High Spirituality. She is brave, vulnerable, & sometimes, I think a touch wicked.... heheheh. But mostly, she is sweet, & a truly good sport. It was fun meeting her, & Carla last time I visited the Bay Area. The first day Elaine & I met, in the city, we went to a Burmese restaurant, where the tables are very close together. We started chatting a bit w/ the folks next to us. Elaine spilled some pretty personal beans quickly about her life- next thing y'know, the other folks were sharing some pretty interesting stuff too! That sums up a lot of what I like about Elaine. She's a GOOD instigator!

Trish and Carla were so much fun, very intelligent and their house rocks! I am glad to have two new friends in this community! Pam MsBootlegged December 22, 2005
