Last Night

Guess what I got to do last night? Perhaps you've guessed from the photo at left (miserably grainy as it is LOL - boy do I need an SLR with a good lens!). That's right, I got to see an ex-president speak live and in person :) Whatever else you might say about Clinton, he's a fantastic speaker - I really enjoyed his speech. It's interesting to me how much the Democrats as a whole are reaching out to the center. I expected this to be a pretty party-oriented event, but I guess there must have been a lot of other independents attending besides me because that was definitely the target audience. It's nice to hear politicans talking about the "sacred middle ground" - that's certainly not the usual message these days, but there was a lot of talk about it at this event. Anyway, it's not everyday we get presidents in Tucson, so it was definitely a memorable event!

In more exciting news, my new printer/scanner arrived today! I ordered an Epson RX700 and I'm dying to start playing with it! It will scan negatives and slides and it's just a lot better scan quality than my current base-model HP. Plus, I can finally print 4x6's or cards or whatever at home - the sad old Epson printer I have right now will only print on 8.5x11 paper, so I have to trim everything, which is a huge pain in the butt. So, I have finally entered the modern printing world - very exciting!

Finally, Bob just called me and he has successfully burned his first CD! At 41 he missed the learn-to-work-a-computer-in-school era. I had some pictures from a former co-workers wedding that he wanted to give her today and so he had to do it on his own. Apparently it went off without a hitch! Yeah for small victories over technology :)
