Tish and Priya were in Michigan for a baby shower (Tish's sister-in-law) and I got to spend the weekend by myself. I think it's a good exercise for all married men with families to spend a weekend once in a while like this (Fabio is going through the same thing, though for the whole week). It's a good reminder how much single life sucks (ummm.. sorry all you single folk out there!). What I mean to say is that it's a reminder what a blessing a family really is (does that come out better said that way?).
So I didn't really do much. Well, Saturday was DD and Beth's wedding. Did I mention how much it sucks being single at a wedding? Ok... We've been through this already. It was a nice wedding, and there will be pictures springing up in various blogs shortly.
I did play around with my newly acquired printer (see last post). The person included the Best Buy receipt with the printer. It was bought a little over a year ago for a total price of around $500, and it includes two additional years of the purchased Best Buy warranty. The Buy-It-Now price on eBay was $96. Hmmm... Is there something horribly wrong with this machine? So far it seems to have done what I want it to. The photo pictures are turning out great. Wireless works. B/W text printing works. I don't get it.
I am drifting away from my choice of the Nikon s7c (also see last post). My new choice is a Canon PowerShot SD700. This camera features a mechanical image stabilization (as opposed to the electronic in the Nikon). The former is supposed to be much better against image blur.
Hey my ClustrMap has finally updated! With 3000 hits the last time it updated, it takes a while for the next one (I figured out I'm at the 20% hit update rate). So now the next one won't take place till my hits get to over 4300). But I see I have made it out to Japan, Hawaii. several middle-Eastern destinations, and north Africa. Cool.
And now some pictures that you've scrolled down to see!

I like the fort!! and those snazzy tights!!!
She's lookin' like a little lady :)
wow, she is getting sooo big! and i lover her hair. the curls are so cute! :)
The thing I like about my old Coolpix 4300 is the 10x optical zoom. Man, the thing can zoom! (Of course, if you don't have a tripod or image stabilization, then it's not such a good idea to zoom in 10x.)
That's one thing more to consider, anyway.
Great pictures!

Yes, being married (and having a family) is definitely a blessing. We'd love to get together and do lunch with you guys in the near future...any Sunday after Church (except Nov. 5) works for us.
Hey, Bipin! How 'bout some encouraging, gracious things to say about singlehood - like about how single people sure are cool, etc.? And how your weekend excursion in singleness reminded you of how cool single people must really be these days?
:) ck
My self portraits always turn out and look great! Ha,ha! Check out Dana's on my blog! It must run in the family :) By the way, Priya, I love your tights! So Stylish!
darn, i was going to write about how much I love Priya's tights but now I just sound uncreative!
Good seeing you guys this weekend!
