A story to pass the evening with. My seven year old nephew Mark, who you have met here, was just entering Kindergarten a few years ago. In his classroom was a chair called the "I can't chair". None of these little 4 and 5 year olds were allowed to say "I can't", only I can or I'll try. If they did they had to sit in the "I can't" chair for 2 minutes. Within a few weeks all these youngsters had eliminated the words "I can't" from their vocabulary. To this day it is a very rare thing for Mark to say I Can't and he will be a better man than I can dream of being for that. He loves to sit at the computer with me and look through the new images; he is fascinated when I begin editing my pictures to post. He has inherited one of my old point and click digitals, a 3.3 megapixel Vivitar. he loves taking pictures. One night in the car, after dark, he was snapping pics out the window. He caught a neon sign as we went past at about 40 MPH. He downloaded it himself and played with it in DI himself and was very proud of what he came up with. He asked to to upload it to my page. I gently explained to him "This is a big people site, Mark, I really can't". He banished me to my "I can't" chair. Then he uploaded it himself. Think of what a better place this world would be if we all had an "I can't" chair. Gentle comments and critiques please.
