Modified Photo Pages
Over the last few weeks, I seem to have been working as hard on the computer at home as I would have been when in full time employment. The somewhat frustrating target of my efforts has been a new “integrated”…
Another Birthday
February is very crowded month as events go. First, there’s my mother’s birthday (6th), then, of course, we get Valentine’s Day (remembering to omit slaughtering people with our ever-present “Chicago Pianos“) and now, as if that weren’t enough, I just…
Woburn Photographs

90 Years Young
