Big week for the Schulz's

Margaret and Eldon celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary AND Eldon got his chair. Seriously, he actually got a chair you can sit in. Very cool.

They threw a big party at Acadia. Lots of good food and drink. There were a lot of testimonials, remembrances, and toast. They tended to get longer and longer the more folks drank. It was a hell of a party.

So Schulz's, congratulations. You guys deserve the best

Oh...I took pictures here

Costa Rica video is finished

I finally finished the Costa Rica video. I edited 12 hours of raw footage down to 40 minutes. The wildlife stuff came out pretty good. We had the party for the folks that went on the tour and everyone seemed to like it a lot. I am posting the short intro on YouTube. Let me know if ypu like it

The Wedding

Janet's college roommate, Cindy, got married this weekend. We made the trip to Fort Worth and had a good time. The wedding was pretty hip and casual. I took pictures and really am just posting this now quick and dirty to provide a link.

Cindy and Thomas, best wishes. You make a great couple.

Now, off to Costa Rica...

Showing some improvement

I have been doing a lot of video and am getting a bit better. Final Cut is very cool and the camera is awesome. Chris had a car show last weekend and I tried to do a project. I think it turned out OK. Take a look

We're at war

Someone left a little present for us. Apparently someone tried to burn our house down. Well, maybe not that bad, but it was suspicious. A bottle, broken and burned in the driveway. It had a rag stuck in it and looked like a molotive (sp?) cocktail. I called the police. They sent the fire department (sirens and everything), police and fire inspector. Pretty exciting. The fireman in charge said if this would have happened two miles east and south of our house, they would not have responded, but it was unusual in our neighborhood.

Time to review the insurance policy.

Kip Rides Again

I tried my hand at video production. Kip is in referee training and it seemed like a good sequel to the hardware store story. He did better than I did. After a dozen or so hours of editing, this is what I came up with. Enjoy

I always wanted to try this

A plus to having a burned foot. I got a chance to try out one of those sporty motorized shopping carts. Kip needed cereal and Toby wanted Granola bars so we headed off to Sam's. I have always seen people using those motorized beauties, and I was jealous. Today was my day. They are really sweet. Acceleration isn't bad and it really handles well. The upholstery wasn't great; my seat was torn, but there were no dents. I am sure they get a lot of abuse so they must be well made.

I am now looking forward to old age when I can call the Scooter Store and charge one to my Blue Cross card. By then (if I make it that long) they may have sat navigation and XM radio. Very sweet.
