  1. Since I don't have to travel, any date in June is good. I'd be able to join a Saturday or Sunday lunch or dinner plan. And my girls would want to come too.
  2. Jan, that's a bit confusing as the nominations aren't based on chapters. It's the story that is nominated. Steve, what we're trying to convey is that only stories posted, or stories that were added to, in 2011 are considered eligible. You have to remember that, with the start of GA Stories, it looks like everything was posted in 2011 since everything from the Hosted and Promising authors sites and eFiction was moved in early January.We just want everyone to understand that a story from...say, 2009 isn't considered eligible just because its posted date in GA Stories is 2011. I hope that makes sense. It sounded like it did in my head.
  3. Shew! I'm late...uh...you know what I mean. Happy Birthday!!!
  4. I thought I'd update this thread. I replaced my desktop about a week after my last post with an HP Pavilion along with a little wireless mouse. While I love the freedom the laptop gives me, I hate the trackpad thing when I'm editing. My hard drive has a bad section in the boot area, I think that's what my IT guy said, so I was never able to boot it up long enough to do a backup of my music files. Luckily, I was able to use my daughter's iPod to move my iTunes library to this computer. I found really clear, easy to follow instructions after doing some research and it worked like a charm.

    2011 Fitness Totals

    My goal for 2012 is to not be out of breath and in need of a nap after reading your list of goals. Seriously, you're looking great...for an old guy. I want to learn tai chi this year.
  6. Dude! It's called fiction. We're allowed to bend the rules.
  7. I have lived on the east coast my entire life. I do not have leathery skin. In fact, I look at least seven years younger than I am. That's why God invented moisturizer and sun screen.
  8. Happy Birthday, Jack!!! Best wishes for a great day.
  9. Off to my dad's in about an hour. Traditional menu planned...lasagna, lots and lots of lasagna. With the most incredible red sauce. Even at 80, my dad cooks like a rock star! Best wishes to everyone for a wonderful day.
  10. Annual subscription to the Kennedy Center's ballet series.
  11. Liar, liar, pants on fire.
  12. This was excellent. Certainly one of my favorites this anthology.
  13. You never disappoint.
  14. This was wonderful. While all the entries in the anthology were good, there is a small number that I thought were top-notch. This one was at the top of my notch. Thank you, Bill, for a great story.
  15. Happy Birthday!! Best wishes for a great day.
  16. Happy Birthday, Jan!! Best wishes for a great day.
  17. Yeah - I don't drive in DC but the Metro works just fine. Used it this past weekend to see The Nutcracker at the Kennedy Center. Plan a date for May or June 2012. That way there's a chance the weather will be nice.
  18. Oohhh...Georgetown and Italian. Excellent!
  19. I vote for DC.
  20. Okay - I can do this. Thanks!
  21. I got it to boot, loads Windows, loads the toolbar along the bottom and the system tray. All my desktop icons are there, but that's as far as it goes. I can hear it clacking away like its loading, but nothing I click on will open. So if my hard drive is okay, that qizmo will let me read it from a new computer? I'd just plug it in like my iPod or my Nook?
  22. So my computer is on its last legs. I intended to replace it after the holidays, but it's starting to look like I might be shopping next week. The only thing on the computer that I need to get is my iTunes library. I've been meaning to do a disc backup, even made sure to buy blank CDs, but...yada, yada, yada....I haven't actually done the backup. My question is, if I can't get my computer to boot up long enough to make that backup, is there a way to copy my library from my daughter's iPod to a new computer? It's an 80 gig classic, the library itself is about 25 gigs.
  23. You always win 'best blog ever'. Now I have to explain to everyone in my house why I'm laughing out loud.
