Wind and rain and computer files
The weather network warns of a chance of snow today or tomorrow. The wind was a bit strong, but I think we are taking forecasts a bit too seriously. It's windy. We live in a windy place and sometimes the wind tries to kill us and we need to deal with that. Margaret worked without power for a while today, but the house was fine. I realized that the tapes I've started digitizing are coming in at a lower resolution so I need to start again. However, higher res video creates file sizes that the computer doesn't like, it being a Windows XP machine of a "certain vintage" as they say. I am looking at firewire cards that I'll be able to install in my up to date machine. Looks like there are some.

Painted
Painted this little toy camera/viewer today. I feel pretty good about it, although it seemed like I was never using the correct brush. I switched brushes three or four times and nothing was coming easy. It feels right from a distance but up close I was a bit less certain.
Coffee with Kevin this evening. Until the donut shop reopens, our default has become the French Press. He'll be opening his cottage this weekend and it collecting banana boat ingredients for the occasion. Envious.

Mother's Day
Breakfast for Margaret this morning. Brunch with mom later. With mom, each of us was given our own small pot of coffee. It was only after careful scrutiny that we determined that mine was tea. We played some cards afterwards and had a nice morning.
