 Standing amid the tulips last spring. | Yesterday was my precious one's birthday. He didn't get an awful lot of gifts, but he did get spoilt rotten, and we indulged in some of his favorite activities. Sort of a "dream day." Or at least an attempt at one. The pattern of late has been to see what the things are that he really wants, and then giving him carte blanche to pick out the precise make and model, and the bells and whistles, of whatever that happens to be. For him, a major part of the enjoyment of anything is the research, the pondering, the selection, the weighing of options, and the final decision. Actually having the item in hand is almost a let-down. |
In other news, I have been working on getting a photo album structure set up. I didn't find what I wanted on the net, and I wanted the structure to be transferrable to any category without the need to redo very much - at least from the page code side.
I'm just about done now, and will have the Salisbury pictures (at least the external ones) up shortly.
And then I will actually post the travelogue section on Salisbury. My apologies to all who have been checking in regularly, presumably hoping that the next installment has made an appearance.

Happy belated birthday wishes! Your description reminded me of a line from a scene from the episode "Amok Time" of the original series Star Trek:
Spock: After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing, after all, as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.
(Sorry ... I was big into Star Trek in the late '60s, as were many future engineers ...)

Chrys - I'm a closet trekkie too :-) Although whenever I see reruns of the original series I cringe at the sets, the special effects and the makeup.
briggy - one day when you're all grown up I might even give you some details :-)
