I really did have a great idea for a diary tonight. I really did! But it involved photos. Ones I took on Sunday, and I had to download them to the computer. I couldn't find the damned cord to link the camera to the computer. After a mad search of about 15 minutes, nothing turned up, so I decided to go to the local Wal-Mart to pick up a cord after dinner. (I hate Wal-Mart, but what can you do in an emergency?)
Except that after dinner, the guests arrived...

My partner was out watering the garden when friends of ours, a couple in the music department where I teach, were driving by, and they stopped to say "Hi." So my partner, sociable guy that he is, invited them in for a cup of tea, and we talked about their daughter away at college, about teaching music using digital technology, about our upcoming vacations, and so on...
Meanwhile I'm eyeing the clock. There's now no way I'm going to be able to sneak out and get my camera interface before TC publication time. There's another story I want to tell in a TC diary that doesn't involve photos, but it's kinda long and complicated. It will take more than an hour to put that one together. No. We're just going to have to do the minimalist thing tonight.
So I apologize. There was this vast, impromptu conspiracy that got in the way of my photo diary tonight. I'll just do that one on another night, once I either find the lost interface cord or buy a new one.
Besides, it's finals week. My imagination is just about wiped out by now. Please have mercy.
Enough of this--on to the comments!:
