Engineering Based Reality

Jordan's daily postings has somehow motivated me to be more current. I decided that the previous format was a little too dark.....so I am going with a brighter drab beige. I intend to post some pictures if I can ever take the time to figure out how to do it. The advantage I have is that my readership is limited even though accessable world wide. Which brings up my next diversion. We recently went to a family friend's daughter's wedding. We found that the new fun activity is photo booths. Yes, those curtained booths that you may remember from the mall or in my case, P.O.P. There was a line of guests all night. The participants and wedding couple each get a copy of the pictures.

Now the engineer in me thought "I can do that", words that strikes fear into Gayle's heart. So my new diversion is creating a photo booth for the wedding. Engineers do tend to be cheap and slightly in touch with reality. The Internet only encourages the delusion and the cost of creating one often exceeds the cost of renting one. I already downloaded some software, looking into the printer, modifying the computer setup and drawing up plans for the booth. At least I have 5 months to create, test and get approval from Jeff and Tiff. My budget is set, not including the cost of the photo paper and ink. As if I didn't have enough projects to do at home.

Now that Jordan has settled into his new living situation, we can relax a bit. Jeff continues to play basketball once a week. I mention this again as he is still adjusting to physical limitations. He also went running last night with Tiff. These are good signs.
