The Day Before

Sounds like a movie title. Anyway, it's Thursday morning. Grey's Anatomy season premier tonight. Tara says woo-hoo!

Flying halfway around the world tomorrow morning. In the meantime, I think I figured out that I can take the SD memory card out of the video camera, pop it into the still camera, and download its data to the computer that way if necessary. Woo-hoo!

I was worried because I couldn't get the computer to "recognize" the camcorder, but it already "knows" the still cam. I'd also like to figure out how to download onto the computer the shows that were recorded by our DVR. But not the Oprah shows! :)

OK, enough technology. Time again to get ready for work. Who was it who decided we all had to work for a living?
