A Gift for Ben

Paul and I spotted this wonderful cat statue at the local nursery the other day and just had to buy it for Ben's birthday present.

The tail wraps around to form a neat bird feeder; pretty cool! Yesterday was Ben's birthday but he was up in New York rock climbing, so we gave him the cat before he left.


As I type this the school graduation slide show is playing on my DVD player. Yeah! Getting this show made is my big end-of-the-year project, along with several other smaller ones that keep me plenty busy the last eight weeks of school. It's a high-visibility project that is very technology-dependent. The first year I made the show, I didn't have a working video or disc as of the afternoon of graduation. I think that experience took about five years off my life! Then I switched to iMovie and everything got much easier.

Still, I'm always happy when I get to the point where I can actually burn a DVD. Even if it has some errors -- and this one has at least two small ones that need fixing -- I have something that can be shown, and that's a big relief.
