I don't believe the adage that "he who dies with the most toys wins." Far from it--but there is certainly something energizing about new toys. Verily, I sit here at 8 a.m. on Saturday, after not enough sleep, Diet Pepsi in hand, playing with my brand-new, sleek black Dell Studio XPS with 23" monitor. I swear this thing is as long as a classic car with fins.
My friend Andy unpacked and installed it last night, in record time. I'd been thinking it would be a marathon hassle getting cables and cords matched up, and he had everything necessary done by supper and was out of here by 8:30. Myself, I was up till midnight, exploring. Now I've installed a version of Word I like better than the preinstalled word processing program and am preparing to spend the day transferring data (mostly photographs) from five flash drives, repopulating Picasa (sounds like science fiction), and trying to navigate my way through the unfamiliar twists and turns of Windows Vista, after cruising along with XP for years. Right now "I wanna go home" because I can't find any of my familiar landmarks. But. . . .
This baby is gorgeous and I look forward to taking her out for a ride, many long rides. It's the first time I've ever had a black car.
About Me
- Lynn Park
- I'm middle-aged, single, and use a power chair because of osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as "the brittle bone disease." This is both central--and peripheral--to my existence. I have a bi-chambered heart in that my sensibilities are both Christian and Buddhist. I am a transplanted Southerner glad never to have lost all my accent. I believe that every event is proof of the possible and therefore must not be discounteD--AND that it's never too late to have a wild and gracious future. I have a passionate attachment to DietPepsi and don't particularly like vegetables! The last six years, since I've been concentrating on photography, I feel as though I've come home and finally found what I'm supposed to do. Here I let my pictures speak for themselves; in thebenigneye.blogspot.com I combine words and images.

Lynn,
Congratulations on your new toy, which is also a tool for creating and distributing your art. May you have many happy miles together.
