• What a day: Prayer meeting, farmer's market, got digital camera, lunch, mother-in-law's, Fry's, now watching The A-Team with the family. #
• My sympathies for anyone with this cold, the lingering cough is annoying. #

• Had the whole day planned around picking up a camera at Nelson Photo. They're closed for the NY weekend. Ugh. Ritz Camera is next. #
• Ritz has dropped Canon (we're leaning towards the T1i). Looks like we'll find a local camera shop. #
