I have a blazingly fast Epson Workforce 545 that I like a lot, but it costs $10 more and it doesn't scan slides. That's a really nifty feature of the Epson Perfection V330 Photo Scanner. My sister has lots of the slides my father took, and if I ever get my hands on them, I might get a V330 just for that purpose.

I really like this scanner but it has to wait until after I've saved enough money to book my holiday.

I'm now waiting until it's time to rinse the hair dye out of my hair.

I just danced a dance with Crystal. It's good exercise, and she enjoys it. I'm trying now to dance at least once a day with her. It gets the juices flowing. Shes a great dancer.

Just booked my ticket to go North again. Jetstar would have been $3 cheaper, but you have to pay $10 more for baggage but the credit card fee is $4 less than Qantas??

So am I $3 better off going qantas - not to mention they feed you that would be another ???$$

Life is too hard these days.

How far North, Sneaky?

I saw Danny Boyle's Frankenstein last night. It opened with the creation of the monster. It took many liberties with Mary Shelley's book, but was still far closer to the original than the 1931 version starring Boris Karloff. My wife was feeling a tad under the weather, so I took my 13 year old grandson. I was afraid he wouldn't like it, so I showed him some YouTube previews first. Surprisingly, he liked it quite a bit. I was afraid it would be too talky for him. A monster who quotes Milton isn't necessarily appealing to kids that age. I wasn't too crazy about the $15 ticket price, but I would have paid far more to see the actual play in London, England rather than a film of the play in a theater here in the USA.

Well aren't you heading for the depths of Winter right about now? I can just see the howling winds, swirling snow, temperatures in the minus twenties...

I believe the winner of this year's "Britain's Got Talent" was a young girl who danced with her dog....maybe there's an opening for you two?

Just wanted to share a few recent pix of my little darlings ....

Stella has become a couch potato .... and is demonstrating how to create hairballs ....

Doubting my choice of going to Birmingham in August this year. I've been looking at trips to Dublin. I've always wanted to go to Dublin and after looking up prices it's a bit cheaper than a trip to Birmingham and has the added bonus I don't have to exchange my money from Euros to Pounds (getting money from the ATM is also free).

Is there anyone who knows a good but reasonably priced hotel in or near the city centre of Dublin?
