Waiting for my floor to dry.

I am currently stranded in my living room as I wait for my kitchen floor to dry. We got a new Apple computer this week (yaah!) We are loving it. It has this program called photo booth, where it takes crazy pictures of you. Here are a few samples.






Jason and I were practically crying after we first tried it out.

We have been attending a Congregational church here. We have been enjoying the pastor's sermons a lot. He was a microbiologist for 30 years, then had a career change to being a pastor. So, we particularly like his approach to his sermons. The only problem with the church is the lack of people our age. When I say lack, I mean that there is absolutely no one even remotely close to our age. I think there is probably a 10 years gap (either way) between us and the rest of the people. So, while we enjoy it, we may check out another church as well, maybe just so I could meet a few people my age.

Last weekend, we went to Southampton for the day. It's the town where the rich people of New York have their summer homes. These houses are pretty amazing, especially considering that no one lives in them for half the year. The ones we looked at faced the Atlantic, were right on the beach and were massive! We walked along the beach there, had lunch in town and did a bit of window shopping. It was a nice way to spend a Saturday.

Sunday, we went mountain biking. I was a bit nervous because I haven't mountain biked for 3 years. But the trail we found was pretty manageable and I felt quite comfortable (it's just like riding a bike...). Nice to know that there a some great trails so close by.

This weekend, we are going to look at some places to rent. I would like to move out of these temporary accommodations and find something more permanent. Perhaps the smell of urine on our green carpet is motivating me as well...

This picture is of a cool insect sitting on the side of our apartment.

You definately have to get out more. What would William Shatner think to see all this technology used for mere amusement.
So, was someone laughing so hard that they peeed themselves?
On the green carpet!

Jason said "Get a Mac" everyone that's cool and scientific goes Mac. But I was old and opening Windows at work. So I went the windows IBM pc route.
Now, after seeing those pictures, I wish I had a Mac.

I know what you mean about church age gaps. I'm the only one in the 16-45 year gap at my church!
