Today ... Tuesday, another day

Thomas woke sore and needs the rest for a long day -- golf in the sun followed by poker til 11:00. Lois went to a meeting with a small group who support each other in a task -- Christian-based. She has had a few meetings and seems to like it well.

Marcus, having yet, another few days off, has spent time searching for prices on old multi-national beer cans, an old collection of a neighbors. He also unsuccessfully tried to sell an old camera on eBay. One person has posed questions to him and to aid this interested party, started a quick-to-be terminated blog showing pictures of the camera. If Marcus collected anything, he could begin selling stuff, but Marcus isn't a collector of anything to sell.

Marcus does collect music -- lots of it. Naturally, he tends to favor things he likes, but will venture out and get stuff for others including Red Skelton, Bob Hope, Amos & Andy, days worth of childrens music (based on cumulative lengths of songs), 60s - current music with about all of the 70s, most of the 80s, lots of the 60s and 50s. You'd think he was an old fart, but just a fart. When you reach 85, you're old, until then, you're only working on getting there.

Another project that will require all three is the archive of photos from so many decades. Thomas and Lois have the names and activities of these 1,000s of photos and Marcus presently has some time to scan them to flickr for archival use. If there were ever a fire ... the pictures wouldn't be lost. Now, Marcus has almost all of his reasonable photos online. The scanning and uploading of photos is a long process. It isn't difficult, but Thomas and Lois are not interested in learning how.

It is another glorious day -- Marcus plans to make some time to enjoy it!

Thomas, Lois, and Marcus are also interested in hearing news of Angel "Goldilocks" as Lois calls her), Diane's family's dog, who needed an emergency hysterectomy. Diane made no mention of her health yesterday, so still, we are concerned.
