The art of relaxation

I come to you today a relaxed and content individual. Normally I'm pretty close to this state of being but vacation give me time to refine the art of relaxation. It's very much like cooking. I may know the recipe but it's that personal touch of an extra dash of this or that which makes the outcome flavorful. Relaxing is easy out here in La Center. If I haven't the drive to go into town then I have no choice but to lounge around here and watch TLC's various personal shows, work on my website (which I'll mention next), or take pictures of nothing in particular. One such picture is a very close-up shot of my parent's black lab Katie. She's young and a bit of a spazz but she stayed remarkably still for this shot.

I'm very happy to be here at home but I'll also be very happy to 1) pick up Sarah at the Portland airport tomorrow and 2) spend New Years with my friends, on the coast, in a Yurt. This Christmas vacation I've got relaxing down to a science.

You may have noticed a little change in the upper left-hand corner of this website. It's nothing terribly new and exciting just a little modification to the organizational scheme for the journal entries on this site. Just click on the pull-down menu to see any entries from other years and, via the magic of the internet, you'll be whisked away to locations from another time. It's really just a modification suggested by a couple of my readers (e.g. Mom and Sarah) that mentioned to me they couldn't view the entire left frame on a screen with a resolution of 800x600. Hopefully this will do the trick. Now, I can't be responsible for people running at 640x480 or who have increased their default browser font size large enough that a blind person wouldn't even need braille to read what's on the screen. Those people will just have to deal with the abnormalities brought about by their settings. I like to think that most of the people viewing this site are more savvy than that or purchased a computer within the last couple years. Whatever the case, "Thank you, come again!"
