1 of 66: Interview with John Santillo
Today was a good day. It had it's moments of mind blowing frustration. Let me tell ya, video editing is not for the faint of heart. But all in all it was a good day and the man said I made him an awesome father's day so I'm a happy superhero.
I started the day with a full workout. Then church where I got to conduct my first interview for my new blog. Boy, did I learn a lot. John was inspiring! The Pixie was my videographer and I was the editor. After much hair pulling, I learned: Take shorter video, convert them to Quicktime BEFORE upload, did I mention taking shorter videos? Take several small videos and NOT one long one, youtube upload SUCKS I mean it's SLOOOOOOW, and if you forget to eat while editing, it magnifies the grumpies.
Oh, and church rocked! After the interview I got to spend a few hours in God's Garage and Upstreet. An Amazing place (pardon the pun Ms. Amy) full of kids and dance and fun and lots'a love. I took Brutus and we rocked da house! I tried out a new photo technique with my speedflash and it worked! Reading all those books just paid off! Check out the rest of the photos! The virtue for this month is Responsibility and as usual, right on target for what I need to learn. Oh, and they showed a video today. THE best video EVER and one I MUST have for my birthday. VeggieTales "Lord of the Beans". Guess what? The villians are SPORKS! I nearly fainted with joy. The Pixie has instructions to see to it her father get's me this video for my birthday Wednesday! The Church at Argyle is THE place to be. I love my church. It's interactive, multimedia love at it's very best. (Oh, the tip? Here :) 
The man got his Father's day gift and loved it. Even when Roy kept running off with his golf balls. I could not resist commenting "You took his balls, now he's taking yours!" Yeah, I know, but I just couldn't help myself. 
This year, out of nowhere, the man asked for Love burgers (apparently he saw the recipe in the newspaper some time ago) and Divinity. Um, huh? I'm a Yankee, what do I know about Divinity? After much drama, the divinity ended up turning out kinda like divinity chips, but tastes GREAT! The Love burgers were a HUGE hit and will be our new burgers of choice from now on. NO burger is good for you, but these are better than our normal recipe. It's VERY lean beef, sea salt, fresh pepper AND THAT'S IT. Amazingly good in their simplicity. I love all Sundays, but as Sundays go, this one rocked!
Happy Father's day to all and to all Peace out ~
Today I'm grateful for:
