Here I am, back in my beautiful hotel room here in Desert Aire. However this time around I have a “deluxe” room that actually comes with a remote for the TV. The other two rooms I have occupied at this hotel had TV’s so old that they had the rotary dial that you have to turn by hand. I have my supply of frozen dinners and soups all set up for my meals to come. I usually try to save half of my per diam to take back home with me, but this time I am going for the 2/3 mark. There will probably be a lot of cold cereal dinners in my future.
FYI.. I look forward to reading the blog when I get back to my room each night. I get very disappointed when no one has written. The Porters especially have not been good bloggers lately and I want that to change.
And Traci, I broke down and open up my birthday present. I really like them and have worn them twice already. Thanks.
Goodnight everyone.

Melanie, I am trying to get this blog thing mastered. This is my third try and every time it is a different set up and nothing happens. If this works I will actual send a message of some kind. Grandfar
OK, the last one went somewhere and now to try once more. Every thing is pretty quite in my little corner of the world. I have tulips and daffodils up and I planted primroses in my window box. I have the hummingbird feeder up but have not seen a humming bird yet. Your Mom and Dad were over for dinneer Friday and Charlie came too. Your Dad installed a new doorstop for me that Charlie had destroyed on a previous visit. You don't need any other entertainment when she is around.
This is Sunday, what do you do on Sundays with the whole day to yourself or do you work on Sundays too? I shall go to church and then play pinochle all afternoon at the Senior Center. Hugs
got the presidential suite eh? Things are pretty crazy over here, but not like last term. Maybe i'm getting back into the groove, and it could be the lack of a 200 page project. I got over a couple of hurdles in Flash programming as a result of hours of trial and error/blind luck. two major hoops that you all will not appreciate-I got the thing to play a song when I put the pointer over a graphic, and I got a bar that indicates how far along you are in the song-a status bar. I created it using mathematical formula; check this out larry:
(time elapsed in milliseconds)/(duration of song in milliseconds) x (length of Filled bar in pixels). The answer is the length of the partial bar as time elapses which periodically redraws itself.
I made this routine check at half second intervals. It's my first legitimate programming created from scratch since apple 2e basic in the eighties. Now if I could only get the bar to point in the right direction!!! bye
