A New Camera but...

...the same old outlook. It's been a few weeks since I whined here about the holidays and the upcoming "days of nothing to do except enjoy nothing to do". They are here and I am doing nothing.

The problem is that it did not come with a booklet of tricks to get a new outlook or a renewed outlook or keys to finding moments of truth which have been hard to come by lately.

Getting a new outlook will be a lot harder than selling a few unwanted things on eBay, including the older digital camera and a few really older "real" cameras and some unusable laser discs of great movies. And some other odds and ends that I could just as easily have thrown away.

I am going to find that new outlook. I am tempted to erase all my old pictures and other histories. The clean slate approach......
