Wants an $11 bill, you only got 10 !

Speaking of our "Quest + the Family of Women host A Co-ed Bar-b-Queue Event! " (my previous blog entry), check out today's Flash version of our invite.

The picture on the right is me riding in D'Anna's ski boat; nothing whatsoever to do with the bar-b-que event we're planning... though I have to admit, my expression does pretty much match how amazingly far I think we've come with technology. I only discovered this Applet today, and in about 10 minutes I was able to put my own words to a music video that was created in the 60s -- long before music videos were even invented. (or... maybe some of you think that Dylan actually invented MTV just by producing stuff like this... I dunno; ask Al Gore.) And in another few clicks, I transmit all this to friends (literally) in several differnet corners of the world.

Quest + the Family of Women host A Co-ed Guest Event!

In conjunction with my MDI men's team (Quest) plus some women from the Family of Women, we're making plans to host a backyard bar-b-que on the 23^rd September, 2007. The idea is that this will be a get to know one another event where all of the Sterling folks will bring guests and we'll just have a fun afternoon together.

What we originally had in mind was a roast...
but we've backed off that plan; see the invite (or ask me) for details.

For now — as much as anything — I'm planning to use this blog post as a way to host some links to various things that give a picture of what these types of activities might be like. For example, the O'Keeffe sendOff at Milt's shows the last event of this ilk that I was at (when the O'Keeffe family moved to Seattle) and this photo album links you to a community event that Quest put on to facilitate the community launching pumpkins into Harvey's field — a follow-on to Hallowe'en when no one knows what to do with their left-over Jack-O-Lanterns.

Intended as basically a relationship-building event, our expectation is that this will just be the first step towards long-lasting relationships which may involve more men or women going to Sterling weekends and/or men taking in what we call Legacy Discovery.

my sister's Lake Huron Trip Summer 2007

This is a test to see how / if I can embed a link to a WebShots slide show... in this case, my sister's Lake Huron Trip Summer 2007. The pictures tell the story that goes with this: "This is an end of Arthur's two weeks of holidays.The first week we had a 4 day trip to the shores of Lake Huron. We started out in Grand Bend and proceeded up the coast checking out all the beaches. We went from Grand Bend to Kincardine, then Bayfield, then Port Elgin, then Southamptom and ended up in Sauble Beach. Each area had something unique to offer. Ended up in Sauble Beach. It IS an incredible beach!!! Just like Sand Banks but it goes on forever. We came back via Owen Sound. "

what's gone wrong with Roy's blog

Here I am making another post to my blog, Roy.

It seems that when I sign in with my Google credentials, I see a "+ New Post" button on the "dashboard". Yet when I sign in exactly the same way as that only using your credentials, I don't see that. What I see instead is (I think) the "outsider's view" of the dashboard.

SO my conclusion would be that your blog is now "owned" by your Google credentials.

I don't have any more time to look at this now and/but maybe you can help by rethinking exactly how you created the blog.

Roy - I'm testing, again, to see if I can still add posts here... and it seems to be VERY str8forward. When it looks like it's making you reRegister again, just click "log in with my google credentials" and it works like a champ.

Here's my attempt to link up this blog with Picasa.

From Kevin Panoramas

Can you see that?

I've made the transition?

I think.... this process of moving my old blog account to its new home under Google seems to have gone OK, but as much as anything THIS post is my attempt to see if that's really true. I didn't at all take the steps that they said to because I couldn't remember or find the username that I apparently greated for the old account. But I did take the back door thru Google and if this shows up as normal, maybe I'm done with this.
