I may do some outside video shoots if the weather is nice. However, I have some legitimate health concerns.

I need to use a cane to walk very far outside. My walk is unsteady and I quickly run out of breath. I am concerned about carrying valuable equipment under those conditions.

I had already begun to scale down my studio. Both of my started proved to be unusable. I started using my trusty, but half-dead iMac for inside videos.

I also set up a second “studio,” using my JVC Everio camcorder, and doing “kitchen videos.” I still have some wild ideas for that format.

I’m a bit discouraged that over $200 of audio equipment died. The loss of the Internet made things worse.

I find it difficult to make videos if I’mTouch in touch with the Internet.

I am currently working on a surprise video project for my Dad.

When that is done, I will likely edit some old pre-recorded shows to eliminate my intro due to copyright concerns.

I hope to have the money to pay my bill by May.

Yes, I am going nuts without easy access to the Internet.

Oh but there is good news. I bought a new indoor digital antenna, and connected it to my TV. I am able to get two network stations, CBS & NBC!

I had tried this feat last year with a different digital antenna & failed. Common wisdom stated we are too far out in the country to receive signals with indoor antennas. I’m so happy to achieve “the impossible!”

Now, I spend some time every day lying on my new bed, watching “Live TV!”

Out of 20 attempts, 2 women were not interested. One woman just wanted to hang out in the site’s chat room. That didnrehab other me. Rach person has their own tastes.

One woman responded, and we agreed to meet for pizza at a local restaurant. Both of us regarded this as potentially a one-time meeting. We enjoyed ourselves.

She said she’sreally living a solitary life, but likes to get out once and awhile. We said our goodbyes, andwent our separate ways.

It was a good date. I went in expecting to have a good chat, and good pizza. That’s what we had.

I probably won’t get a dog for another 8 months.

I spent all day, trouble-shooting, disconnected everything and still have the hum. I’m quite discouraged.

I wanted a way to tag my cables on both ends so it would be easy to identify them. The Marker Cable Ties from Monoprice did the trick. They cost $1.30 per 100!

I bought two items in an attempt to get rid of audio hum. They didn’t work, and I’m returning them to Amazon.

My back is still very sore, and I don’t dare go out walking too much. Yes, my new bed arrives in a week. Yippee.

I decided to join the Gnomies. I’ve had a connection, of sorts, to Chris Pirillo for 3-4 years.
