So it was late Monday night. I wanted to make the video. He wanted to sleep. I couldn't blame him.
We had planned the video: the two of us grinnin' and singin' and maybe shakin' a little virtual tambourine (metaphor) for our daughter's somethingth birthday. We do have a real tambourine. Originally it was going to be playing instruments. Hobbes, Cloe. Yeah. Life happened.
Last night, after I returned from a meeting, he brought in the little handy dandy camera that takes video and the usb cord and the disk to put the whole thing on my computer. It wouldn't work. The computer insisted I use the dazzle port. No. NO. No. I want the camera. It's getting late. Uninstall. Reinstall. Permission denied?
You are MY computer. You can't deny me permission to install the disk for my camera on you! Second try. Frustration. Sleepy man. Early morning for us both.
I finally succumbed. I could fight no longer. He went to bed. I made a slide show with the poem I'd written and the pictures I'd gathered before we got insanely creative. I liked it. But I wanted a fun surprise for my girl.
Happy Birthday Jonea!
Thats her on the left with her younger sister the first of February.
