Lightning bugs

As a child, my sister and I caught them and put them in jars to light up our night, now I smile when I come home in the dark and see lightning bugs (fireflies) outside my door.  Of course, that means I also have mosquitos, but it's worth the occasional mosquito bite to enjoy the lightning bugs.  Tonight I had dinner at Provino's, my favorite Italian restaurant in Auburn.  My waiter was very patient and let me eat my vegetable lasagna, drink a glass of wine and read my book until I was ready to go.  I needed a break from my La-Z-Boy.

Nicholas Carr's book about Cloud Computing is certainly thought-provoking.  I can't help but think that non-profits can use The Cloud to their benefit.  I'm hoping I can learn enough this summer to save the JCC some money.  Why should they buy another server?  It may be too early in the utility computing world for conservative non-profits to move in that direction, but I think I'd rather spend my time learning how to migrate to the Cloud than learning how to set up a Windows network.

I'm watching an older episode of Treme and I just saw my friend's son in a scene at the airport.  How fun! Speaking of Treme, I like Davis, the politician.  Who is he?  And, next time I'm home, I need to go to Lil Dizzy's for lunch.  Who wants to go with me?

  1. I'll go with you! We miss you in the Big Easy and would love to see you the next time you are here. Thanks for the congratulatory phone message. Megan is already using the quilt you gave her big sister! Wish I was smart enough to understand more of what you are learning, however I'll just have to wait until I see you to get a tutorial! Happy Summer! Susan and Lou
