The past few days have brought us some strange-looking skies. Instead of the usual gray, the sky has been blue! We grabbed the camera and took some pictures of this rare event.
Lara wanted me to make it very clear that I wrote the descriptions, by the way.

The GrabBag is the place for things that just don't fit anywhere else. If it's not Family NewsTM or Personal Reflections® or a multimedia-type thing, it gets tossed in the GrabBag.

The arrival of affordably-priced digital video cameras and easy-to-use video editing packages like iMovie has made it far too easy for the average person to start sticking bits of video together and unleashing them on their unsuspecting friends and relatives. Somehow the mere possession of a video camera gives people the impression that they can make better movies than Peter Jackson. Lara and I are two of these delusional people. We've joined a recovery program and are now a bit more restrained with our preciousss camera, but every once in a while, the urge hits...and the results are things like Frodo Ramsey (Quicktime 6 or higher required).

To start things off, here's what the view outside our window is today:

I can see you now. "Hey! What's this? There's actually something on their web site!" You're clutching your chest and breathing heavily and...hey, are you okay?!
Yes, just when you thought all hope was lost, a lovely Pittsburgh wintry mix went and coated our dead-end uphill street with ice last night, locking us into our home for the day. Like most folks would do after tiring of DDR and Zelda, we naturally figured we'd install a nifty content management system and open the site back up for the whole world to see. Or at least the two of you that actually visit our site. Thanks for the year-and-a-half of patience, Mom!
