I came home this summer wanting to learn two things from my parents: 1) how to tie a tie and 2) how to drive stick. Tomorrow, my step-mother will be teaching me how to make and can blackberry and blueberry jam. Not exactly what I had in mind, but it should prove interesting anyway.

Simple Pleasures

I'm considering the purchase of a Palm 5 handheld from my friend Jeremy, so I've been playing with it for the past couple of days. I've been trying to learn how to use the Graffiti pad to write letters and numbers. After becoming quite frustrated because my letters kept showing up as numbers and my numbers kept showing up as letters, I realized that the Graffiti pad has two sides--one for letters and one for numbers--and you aren't supposed to draw in the middle of it.

It's the simple revelations in life that really make it worthwhile.
