Still learning

Just had a good piece of luck with registering interest to follow a new site I found on the subject of black and white photography

The process went rather smoothly so I am quite happy with my self at the present

 Also bought a new digital camera to replace an old faithful 35 mm  SLR purchased some 27 years ago.  How things have changed and how far behind I now realize I am but I will enjoy the challenge of it all none the less

Milestone

I seem to have had success with the blood sugar business and without too much strain

I guess that the sugar may have contributed to my weigh gain so that's the next target.  A reduced me and with summer well and truly on the way this journey wont be comfortable

Needs must if I am going to stretch out  a few years into retirement

Discovery continues

I have always enjoyed the spectacle of black and white photography and have found many sites on this subject

It seems that there are also many sites where black and white photography means some sort of sexual adventure

I am beginning to realize that this internet thing is a really great spot for sexual adventure and its easy to see how people could get addicted

That probably includes myself if there is no one looking over my shoulder

The discovery

I must admit to being a rather late comer to this world of the internet and I am both amazed as well as shocked as to what is out there

There is just so much information  but little knowledge

I was rather surprised to find that the Wiki Encyclopedia is capable of being added to or subtracted from How confronting is that be to a person who grew up believing that what was in an encyclopedia was accurate

Ah well  - one learns I guess

The Themis experience

What an extraordinary five weeks it been with the final session for jury service just ending

The experience was very trying but worthwhile and I still believe the system of trial by jury is still the best

The time spent with eleven other randomly chosen jurors in all their diversity shows how sometimes we forget about the variables in people because we surround ourselves with friends who generally share similar views and values

However to have such diversity underpinned by the common elements of fair play and justice was hearting

I would not rush back into the experience because it completely puts your life on hold for the five weeks but at the same time I would not do anything to avoid any future call up
