rolanniSo Steve made a much-needed paper order at Staples, and unexpectedly won a Free Prize -- a digital movie camera!
Now, I remember when digital movie cameras were great honking pieces of equipment, with wires running to belt units and add-on mikes and lights and who knows whatall else, the entire apparatus weighing slightly more than your average three-year-old.
This thing?
I could add it to my charm bracelet, if I had one, and it would look perfectly at home. It fits in my palm, and takes its power from 3 AAA batteries. Frankly, it's a little hard to take seriously, but I'm trying not to hurt its feelings.
Weatherwise -- bright, blue and warm. Steve has been doing outside chores while I put the bedroom curtains to wash and did some dusting. Nothing says First Day of Spring like a woman wielding a dust cloth, unless it's a man driving a vacuum cleaner, which I'm promised to see, after lunch.
And a blessed vernal equinox to you all.
