That's what I'm talking about...

I managed to get 1200 words of the PowerPoint presentation under my fingertips, despite the little setback with WordFast Pro. That makes the day's total slightly greater than 4200 words, which is not as productive as yesterday, but much better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.

* * *Galina and I took our first hot-air balloon ride back in February 2003 here in Pagosa (documented in this post). If memory serves, there were at least two dozen participants for that event in 2003. There was a similar event this past weekend (though we counted less than a dozen envelopes in the air), and we only just happened to notice the event because one of the participants very nearly landed his hot-air envelope in our back yard. I took the shot below from our front door.


As it turned out, the balloon had enough "juice" to gain the dirt road that dead-ends around 100 yards from our property, so I guess everything turned out okay.

Cheers...

I'm still trying to get past that first line. 1200 words in a powerpoint?

Maybe I'm not so against capital punishment after all.

The 1200 figure represents the translated word count in the first 13 of the overall 118 slides in the presentation.

Do not get me started on the evils of PowerPoint.

Cheers...

Very nice! I love hot air balloons and zeppelins, especially ones that are NOT plastered all over with advertising. Have you see this photo? (http://velvet-granat.livejournal.com/176549.html)

P.S. You live in a very pretty place. What a great view to enjoy while drinking your morning coffee!
