Suzanne, it’s nice to see you blogging again! We even had great weather up here in Canada this weekend, and enjoyed some time outside. There won’t be much more this year, I’m sure.

There are probably some computer users today who don’t know that PS pre-dates those mass-mailed marketing letters.

Along the same lines I had to explain in a public newsgroup recently that BCC was NOT something Microsoft invented for Outlook.

It’s a good thing I took a picture yesterday. Today (despite heavy rain all day) the little pink house is a pile of rubble.

Happy birthday! And with the threat of swine flu, it’s probably prudent to take any preventive measures are offered, whatever your age.

Hope you enjoy a long weekend of celebration, and enjoy the next half of your life.

Hi Suzanne,
Congratulations on your birthday.
In Belgium you must retire at the age of 65. Although very slowly things are shifting, politicians are seeing the problem of the age boom, all those people who will retire, the baby boom generation. Heavy burden on our social security system.

Sure is a good thing to walk, keeps you fit. So keep it up. I know people who would park their cars just in front of the shop counter if they could.
Personally, my wife and I just do everything on bycicle or on foot. Only once a week we go to the supermarket.

Luc

I discovered your blog and saw your comments about your father and his Rotary meeting in Japan in 1978. I was a colleague of Glen’s at St. Maur International School. It would be interesting to get in touch with him. Could you send me his email address?

Rant-worthy material like this is truly a gift when it drops in your lap. Or on your front porch The email address, alone, is proof-positive that copy editors are needed FOR EVERYTHING!

A great story! It made me smile while enduring our own scattered showers.

Suzanne,
I share your problem with the earbuds, They just always fall out. I use the Zune, which also has a radio included. I bought it with my MVP-bucks, one of the perks of being an MVP.
I mainly download podcasts of my favourite radio programs on the Zune. Which make it easy to listen whenever I have the time.

There is music on it too, but no videos, I find that videos are not suited for the small screen. Or maybe it is just my eyesight which is not improving over the years.

By the way I loved the photos of your granddaughter.

Greetings from Belgium
Luc
