So Little Time

One of the finest souls to grace God's good earth walks among us lesser mortals here in the South Texas brush country. That is a fact. In the great cosmic scheme of things hidden and unknowable, a convergence of good fortune and Providence made it possible for moi to cross paths with this exceptional human being, and to make a long story short... I got my fortuitous little hands on the iMovie application.
Hallelujah! Can I have an amen? I have seen the light... and it comes from the 15-inch screen of a MacBook Pro!
My appreciation is growing for the software and the machine it's loaded on; so much so that I'm beginning to like it as much as a fat kid loves cake. My fidelity to the Windows environment goes back to 1992, so all this Mac business is new to me -- and as a lifelong-learner it is both exciting and strange. I am working hard at playing catch-up, but between work and hacking down acres of calite at the Ranch, there just aren't enough hours in the day to apply myself properly to the Mac world. There is so little time.

Some of that time was spent outside the office on Halloween. The company and its interests were passing out candied treats to the costumed kids that came by. It was all very entertaining. I used a Flip camera to record a few snippets of video. The raw footage would give me an opportunity to work with the iMovie software. I was anxious to just get something out there in cyberspace. I'll get better at it.
