I realized this morning that it’s been more than a month since I last posted anything to the blog. That’s not because we don’t have stuff to post, but more because I’ve been unusually busy this month. January is usually much slower than December, but my job has kept me hopping this month.

The other thing that has discouraged me from posting is this: Sometime between the time we left for our short vacation in Nashville and now, we seem to have lost our little Casio camera. This is the one that I’ve been carrying with me almost everywhere for the last two years. Sandi bought me a new HD camcorder for Christmas, and we used it almost exclusively while making the Christmas video this year, so the Casio hasn’t been used much recently. We did take it to Nashville, though, and used it at least a few times on the trip.

I’m disappointed about losing the Casio, but since I have a replacement already, I’m not too upset about the hardware. On the other hand, I took the Casio with me to China just before I got the new camera, and all of the pictures I took in China were made with that camera.

So, guess where the pictures I took in China are located… That’s right. They are still on that camera.

I got distracted by the new camera and failed to dump the memory card in the old camera, and now it’s gone. I’ve been really good about making sure I have multiple backup of all the pictures and videos we’ve made over the years– at least since I had a hard drive crash that had our original christmas video on it. But this feels like a rookie mistake.

Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to plan to go back to China!

In the meantime, I’m just going to have to do better on our next trip.
