Fall is arriving in Hollister

After a visit to Michaels recently, we have our Fall decoration for the cabin. It has now been installed after nearly of week in the 70s and lots of drizzley rain. The scarecrowman had gotten positive comment.



Today was the first non rainy day in several - but humidity made you wonder if it could rain at any time. We made good use of the day by going over to Forsythe this morning and getting our flu shots, with Medicare cards, then, we stopped by the 36th Annual Autumn Daze Festival in downtown Branson - big craft tents set up in the parking lot behind Dick's 5 and Dime, and the adjoining street on the east. We shared a tenderloin sandwich for lunch. We have been to this event in past years - very much the same. Good crafts mix and quality.

It was a very good day! ;-)

Creating e-memory legacies

Check out The E-Memory Revolution.

I have been giving these concepts some thought, but this puts a whole new spin on it - note the "three streams of technology" suggested: recording technology, rapid increase digital storage capacity, and software to take advantage of a life-time of e-memories. Is it really true?

My concern was more that the current generation is not "saving" hard copies of photos, writing, etc. How will we "look back" and be able to collect anything that is not "physical"?? This suggests just the opposite - that we will be able to retrieve "everything" electronically - all those facebook entries from college, all those email from work and home, every photo anyone every took of you, every transaction you made...

What do you think? Is this great? Is this awful? Is this preposterous....

It has been an interesting day, so far! ;-)

P.S. Just read to the end of the article on libraryjournal.com cited above... written by two researchers at Microsoft Research. That opens up another whole topic of conversation, if one cared to!

First Full Day of NFL Season

I was pleased that the Dallas Cowboys won their first game, over Tampa Bay.


I did keep track of the Kansas City Chiefs, who were 24-24 late in the fourth quarter before they lost to Baltimore. Tiger got a good look during the afternoon, as well, as he cruised to his 71st win, after the big day yesterday.

Wonderful to have Football Night in America back on NBC, with Keith O., Dan Patrick, Bob Costas, et al. - civil discussion of the day's NFL action!!

I'm watching Bears v. Packers, as I write this!!

It is a very good day!! ;-)

Tiger has his mojo back

I know this is supposed to be College Football and U.S. Open weekend, but at Cog Hill, in south Chicago, Tiger Woods finally looked like the "old" Tiger Woods again. Just a 62, -9, a Cog Hill record... and he started the day with a bogey. Welcome back!

He leads going into Sunday final... ;-)
It was a very good day! ;-)

Iowa at Iowa State football on TV here on Sat

Happy to see that Iowa at Iowa State College Football is the Big 12 early game on Fox Sports Net.


It is a very good day! ;-)

New NFL season begins

Does the real NFL season actually begin tonight?

Bring it on!

It will be a very good day, when it is done! ;-)

09-09-09

Mom reminded me of the day date, today, so thought I would post it.

Hope and assume it will be good luck for us all. Just read that the worst recession since the 1930s may actually over, or at least ending. Things are looking up!

Assume it will be another very good day - aren't they all, really!???! ;-)
