Music:

I am not sure how many people know this but I love the music of Bette Midler. Right now I have “My one true friend” from the album “Bathhouse Betty” playing. This song is so poiniant. Once again, the lyrics are so powerful.

Movies

There are a couple of movies that I have been meaning to see… They are Beaches and Casablanca. I have a copy of Casablanca but I dont want to see it alone. And I dont have a copy of Beaches, and I have not seen it for years.

The Big Cleanup

I have a service call in on my Laptop. Dell should be here monday to fix my DVD burner so that I can put a whole lot of stuff onto optical media. I have something like 10 GBytes of WAV files to put onto DVD. And I have probably another 10 GBytes to generate so I can get rid of the magnetic media.

I found a stack of 30 CD’s of doccumentation. They are being copied onto my windows box as we speak to that I can move them to DVD. Then I have probably another 50 CD’s of stuff that I also want to get rid of. Old backups and the like. The problem is that DVD’s are too small 🙂 Well, not really. But there are a lot of cases where an extra GByte on a DVD would be really useful.

Church Reports

I have done the church annual report apart from the chore fo actually getting it printed. I will do that tomorrow before church. The copier is fast so that should be no problem. I hope there are no problems with the minutes of the last meeting. I just looked quickly at them. The meeting before it was agreed to call a ‘FINANCE’ meeting. However, as I typed this I must have got the spelling incorrect and it became a ‘Fiance meeting’, meaning that only our family ministry worker was elligable to attend. OOps.
