That must be a mistake. But it wasn&#8217;t. 42 videos total. 24 of which I consider &#8220;finished&#8221; enough to put on my [...]]]></description>

In fact from time to time I still have to interact with a Windows computer in some way which quickly reminds me why I made the switch in the first place.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen if we didn&#8217;t get a chance to change to a new year every 52 weeks. Without that fresh set of downs would we operate in the same manner. I guess that&#8217;s why most of us like the change of seasons. We all look forward to something new and different [...]]]></description>

Of course I always like seeing the Capitol building when I visit Madison, but usually I don&#8217;t get to stay close [...]]]></description>

For me the music in that song creates a very soothing, easy going, comfortable feeling even though the lyrics might not quite support that.

The weather in Minneapolis, like most of the midwest this March, has been unusually mild, but that was not that case on this particular evening. [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s something I always talk myself out of&#8230; going out at night to take pictures. I mean why would anyone even think of doing such a thing?!? Well, sometimes the light at night can be just right. And such was the case last night over the Portage Canal.
