Saturday we set off on our quest for the perfect tree. We found the perfect tree for us- slightly crooked, a little off-center, and full of life. Dan named him Karl. It was a good day.
Below is my first attempt at playing with my flip video camera and iMac. Not perfect by any means, but you get the point. The video is bouncy and I realized that once Dan started cutting down Karl, I pick the camera in my pocket & left it rolling for 45 minutes. Nothing but complete black. Oh, and you can hear some cursing when I realized that we had to pay in cash, and we almost didn't have enough to get Karl home. We had just enough, and the kind people at Good Spirits Christmas Tree Farm let the tax slide. How typical.
We'll put up pictures later this week of Karl all decked out.
Chemo tomorrow. Keep Dan in your prayers!

Good luck today.

Nicely done on the video Meg. Dan I like the hat you're wearing. And I hope Karl fit in the apartment this year, unlike last year when I think Dan got a little ambitious with the size of the tree.

Congratulations on your first film release. As the former caretaker of boxes of Christmas ornaments imported from Boston and Chicago, I know that Karl will be well dressed.
Dan should plan on minimal down time from chemo, so that he can show off his lumberjack trophy.

Good to see you both today. Dan, you look good. Meg, your videography will improve with practice. How fun to add the video for us to see. Now we expect lots more of it! Love, mom Cicily
