Back to That Eagle Scout

I created a mini-movie for FTD's Eagle Scout Court of Honor (COH) and finally found the time to upload it to youtube. Of course, in order to do that, I've had a new hard drive installed in the computer, so now my 6000+ pics don't slow me down so much. Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to ditch the cruddy experimental movies. And now, with the new Canon, which shoots in HD at professional speeds, I have tons of geysers-going-off video. Sheesh.

I also tried uploading from youtube to here and here to youtube, with no luck. So you'll just have to click buttons for yourself.

Here's the link, I think: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRM_P_aVkYY

I'll get that 40 minute video of Great Fountain up pretty soon. . . . .

Fun With Autism or Catchy New Phrases!

Know how your kids said funny things when they were little? Like my nephew's famous line, spoken while holding a rock to his ear and apparently speaking to it: "It's my rocky-talkie"?

Autism is a communications disorder. My kids continue to come up with language use that makes more sense or is just plain funny.

I offer up this sampling:

"Boys have, you know--down there--acorns."

"My sleepy. My go bed now."

"What you me want get?"

"You fine okay that?"

"That rare to see."

"When you me want pack?"

"You me up pick it?"

"A CT scan is like being stuffed in a roll of toilet paper."

"Boy, I'm glad I'm not in that room any more," said FTD to me at midnight. "Why not? Don't you like the new look of it?" said I. "Naw," said he, "I just puked all over carpet."

FINISHED!
