Kitten posted a very nice critique of one of my images.  I'm hoping in the spring or summer to be able to take some photography classes with the girls at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center.  I tried to see if we could take one earlier this year but even trying to take a private class didn't fit into our schedule.  Maybe once school gets out we will have more time for that kind of thing. 9:36:10 PM

I found a new blog, to me at least, and have added it to my list of daily reads. This post on "How to Elevate Your Mood Without Smoking, Drinking, Eating or Taking Drugs" was interesting to me. As I read through the list I realized that I already do a bunch of those things at work every day. As for before and after work I'm still so busy that I don't have time to think about anything, although that is starting to get a little better with my oldest now driving and lightening the driving load. At work I've found that software projects are able to always take all the available time allocated no matter what the level of effort that was projected to be required. Somehow life is like the software projects in that my every day chores and tasks seem to take all available time. That seems to be driving me towards things like this article on how to Live Simple, to reduce the clutter in your life at LifeHack.org. Or this story about the obesity of the American consumption lifestyle which appeared in my Sunday paper this morning, although I can't find it at my newspaper's web site. I keep thinking that if my life were somehow simpler and more organized I would have more time. "All the time in the world...
