Finally, the technical difficulties are almost behind us.  The only thing that remains, other than my lack of sanity, is music that is on the video but disappears when you view it.  I’m not into computers but my husband is.  By now I would have drop kicked that thing into the next room.  He has so much patience with this and it is pretty impression, considering he’s  put these videos online at least ten times and had the computer crash at least that same number.  I am so lucky to have him run the operations part of this.  I can barely keep the batteries charged and the camera on the tripod.  Ok, there are more times than I can count that the batteries weren’t charged and yes, I have knocked over the tripod a few times and dropped the camera more than that.  If technology was an Olympic event, I wouldn’t even be in the stadium to watch.  I like the results of technology but absolutely hate the learning curve.  I remember when we were kids and they gave us aptitude tests.  Mine said something like I have zero aptitude for anything mechanical.  No surprise there.  I may still be out of frame more than I would like.  Also my fault.  Every time I knock over the tripod or drop the camera, the frame I should be working in has changed.  I guess I need to learn to change with it, and that’s the least I could do since I created the problem to begin with.
