Thing 5

I did not have More Fun with Flickr. Maybe it's because I'm such a non-visual person. I think in words--not images. So I'm completely nonplussed by the opportunity to do "creative things" with flickr images. I don't want to spell my name in pictures or find all the pictures in a particular shade of blue or any of the other proffered "10 Best" flickr applications. Plus, I'm sick of having to correct my typing each time I write f-l-i-c-k-e-r.

I'm sticking with my kid's prom photos, to be updated when my niece gets married next month.

Thing 4

I am now in proud possession of a flickr site, populated at this point exclusively by pictures of my 17-year-old son Teddy and his girlfriend, Erin, taken just as they were about to depart for the Junior Prom. Teddy and Erin are perfectly beautiful, although fiendishly red-eyed thanks to our camera technique. The pictures even feature cameo shots of me, my husband Paul and Erin's mother, hovering proudly on the edges of the action.
Oh, to be 17 again---but smarter this time!
