The ipad is smaller than I would have expected me clumsy....
but I think for ebooks and communication alone it is fabulous, and also for having fun with photos, reading sheet music as well (maybe I can put it on a cooking book stand???)
Al for me depends on the quality of onscreen reading, and how my slightly less agile hands (due to the arthritis) will handle the touch-aspect, thus also the quality of the sensors.

yepp, me too, but I sure want one- fast!!!!

Unglaublich... wenn die Titelmusik von Bonanza anfing, richtig fetzig, dann wussten wir alle dass wir wieder was Tolles erleben würden.
Ein Mann, drei Söhne, alle für Fairness und das Gesetz, gegen Viehdiebe, korrupte Sheriffs und sonstige Gesetzlose standen sie mit klarem Blick, kriegten auch mal was auf die männliche Backe, sie kamen sogar mal ins Gefängnis in ihrem Kampf um die Gerechtigkeit.
Dabei war dann auch Hop Sing, der chinesische Koch mit dem unglaublich unechten Lispelakzent sehr wichtig- ich jedenfalls habe immer auf seinen Auftritt gewartet- vielleicht nicht so sehr wie Hoss, der Urtyp des gemütlichen Dicken, aber doch mit freudiger Erwartung.
Jetzt ist der letzte der Cartwrights, Adam gestorben, natürlich sein Schauspieler, aber ich sehe ihn als die letzte Ikone einer tollen Serie die meiner ganzen Familie viel Freude gemacht hat.
Auf jeden Fall schaue ich mir noch ein paar mal den Vorspann an- der war ja schon ganz schön modern. Ach, und natürlich bin ich ein bisschen traurig wenn ich an Ben, Adam, Hoss und Little Joe denke und sie vermisse - so wie das Fernseherlebnis mit der Familie vor dem altern Röhrenfernsehgerät.

actually, i do not know....
today i was looking if there will be a new book out by robert b parker, writer of the spenser novels.
no more- all i found were yesterday´s and today´s obituaries.
a lot of the authors pesonality went into his protagonists, both spenser and the harbour police chief. as i´ve read every single one of them i think i know the characters pretty well, and know that they cannot be recreated even by a fine writer, so they have effectively deceased with immediate effect.
mr parker died at his desk- writing, which he did every day for a few hours. i will miss him, as i know a bit of him, through spenser.....
so what happens is that i mourn my heroes, and in particular, mr robert b parker.

Quella vita che è una cosa bella,
non è la vita che si conosce,
ma quella che non si conosce,
non la vita passata,
ma quella futura.
Con l'anno nuovo il caso
comincerà a trattare bene
voi, me e gli altri,
e si principierà la vita felice.

Looking through some old pictures i had some fun, some sorrows today...
I love this picture from the days in Hutchinson Island- probably Floyd is just 3 or four days old, so April 2000 must be the date...
Chelsea seems to not enjoy the situation at all... maybe she had looked up the expression "Middle Child" whilst Mommie was on the way home from hospital- with baby Floyd in tow!
It was a fun time, even though a lot of not so good things continued to happen around me.
Still, looking at this I know nothing could have been better!
