I have been playing with a new toy today - - a software program that allows you to cut a long music session down to a clip that can be uploaded on web sites such as MySpace.com. music2work2 sessions are typically much longer than ordinary songs; that's part of their beauty and benefit as background music to listen to while performing a task or concentrating on something. In the past, Andrew had to be the one to make clips of the sessions since I did not have the software for doing so. Now that my computer is upgraded, I have the software, too. I haven't quite learned all about it yet, but it certainly is fun to be able to select certain portions of a session as a clip of the session. When I have mastered doing this, I will be able to prepare clips of new sessions Andrew records and upload them for others to hear, rather than him having to find the time to do it. I am so glad to have my computer upgraded!

It has been a while since I was able to post a blog; my computer was out of commission for a few days while I was trying to upgrade the operating system. It looked for a while like we were stuck in a problem with no way to solve it. Thank goodness Andrew knows so much more about computers than I do. We spent several hours on the phone on Saturday with him trying to help me.........and hallelujah, he was able to solve the problem. I got the OS downloaded and then spent most of yesterday putting the other software back on that I had had previously. So far everything seems to be working correctly and I have been able to download some software to use for music2work2 that I couldn't before. Learning to use and getting used to the different programs will take me a while; but, it is very exciting to have finally gotten it upgraded successfully and to have the ability to use the new programs.
With the horrible events taking place in the world, I find it especially hard to write a blog. Not that similar things haven't been going on all along. But, when something as senseless and disturbing as the horror that took place in Virginia this week happens, it brings to the forefront of my thinking just how fragile life is. There is not much more that I can say.
