Winter Arrangement

New n old-fangled contrap-
tions are keeping me wondering which end plugs into what n which end is up... wherever North went...

I died 50 times in rapid succession when at long last I finally got the new old-fashioned Atari to work on my tv. It came pre-loaded with about 40 games like Asteroids, Space Invaders, n Centipede. I'd forgotten how easy it is to lose those old, simple graphic games. Plus I'm not used to the joystick thing n had always used buttons on a controller in the old days. Then there's all the other games I'd never tried before to totally mess up.

For one of my my resolutions I'm going to take many  more photos this year. Currently tho, I'm taking tons of crappy pictures because I'm learning how to do it on a new Nikon digital. Still haven't gotten any into my computer, because I just found out the cord to the old cam doesn't work with it- but will try the card reader later when I have more putter around time. Still don't know how many megs the new pics use up or what will happen in Paint Shop Pro with my system of alteration.

Winter finally made a re-appearance n it's back to double socks n Long-Johns again. I'm making short work of the chocolate kisses, Hugs, n Andes mints. Leftovers have been whittled down, but I can't get to grocery shop this week either when my only free day is a holiday.

After skipping so much sleep to get holiday stuff done, I'll probably sit most of today. Was just going to post before getting up today, but magically my phone line went dead, so it will wait anyway...

I had to work New Year's Eve this year, but after work I had an eggnog with nutmeg. That's a treat but I've noticed the main ingredient is something I try to not eat anymore- High Fructose Corn Syrup. So I've only had a little bit, n may throw the rest out. I also have been making my own cranberry sauce in favor of the canned Jellied type since I noticed that ingredient in there. It's crazy how many products they sneak that into, including bread. Even into products made where I work. I try to opt for natural, raw sugar which costs more, but is healthier. That's not a resolution, just what I've been doing already.

Yippee, my line's on, but the high-speed is off. Will try to publish anyhow... n maybe get out for a short walk to test how bad I take pics again. A matter of learning the new settings thing- I'm so tired of re-learning new ways to do everything again every time a device is changed up. Hopefully the result eventually will be alot of better pics to post. So far too many are out of focus because I'm not waiting for the cam to do it... more megapixels...

I'm hoping for a much better year in 2015. 

N for all of you too!
