Christmas Hockey

Well, I am still a Senators fan even though they are struggling as a team. They lost again last night in a game that no one seemed to play well. They play again tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Ottawa. The game is on televison, so I will be taping it so that I can watch the game with the grandkids when they come. It will be quality time spent together, that's for sure.

It's cold outside! It's almost noon and the temperature has risen to -25 C. And, it is supposed to get colder and very windy. Yes, we have windchill warnings out for the next few days. I'm glad that we are sitting still for the next week.

This morning I packed up a bunch of books to be sold to secondhand book stores. The computer room is now less crowded as I took out the homemade shelving under the windows and moved Mom's sewing machine back there in its place. This afternoon I will return to scanning black and white negatives, a process I started yesterday. I am impressed on how well they are scanning. Again, the negatives are from pictures of the 1970s, many of which I had never printed. Of course, I have a lot that never will be printed. Once they are all scanned, I will then have to cull them as it is all too much. When that is done, then the real work can begin, the work of putting them together in a way that makes them more valuable to you and the grandkids. Well, time to get back to work.
