  dear friends,.

  much of what we do on a daily basis is routine and of no particular, earth-shaking importance.

  however, after reviewing letters of family going back to wwii, it is fascinating to read what dad was doing on board the aircraft carrier in the pacific on any old day, what mom was cooking on her ever-steaming range, how i was dealing with the roller coaster of emotion at bethel [mom saved all my letters], how nana wrote that she would not study with the witnesses [per my request] but 'here are some mittens i knitted for you when you canvass new york with your magazines.

  Thanks, cantleave!

  Feels good to drop in.

  Nothing much today happening because a dead battery in a vehicle quashes efforts to travel far. Did get in a good walk, however, and saw friends at home and en route.

  Playing a DVD on computer or player?

  initially, i was surprised that the drop-down list on google re: the above is so long.. my mac plays movies flawlessly, but my dvd player does and doesn't.

  this appears to be a widespread problem.

  i get the problem with cranky players, given code reading, regional restrictions, unreliable communication between an older tv (mine) and player, etc.. my question is this: what is the makeup of a computer that allows it to play movies (even somewhat scratched discs) that my player won't?

  Thanks, Marina:

  Yeah, can't work it! Me neither.

  So glad I kept my VHS tapes. Wish new movies were still available on tape. After 30 years, tapes still play. Sure, not with the clarity and special features of DVD, but they WORK!

  Thanks, Simon!

  the error-correcting software

  That explains why my Mac will correct a problem -- a momentary pause due to some flaw, which is acknowledged, then resumption of movie. DVD player just freezes up totally. Or plays the entire movie, but in a stop-and-go manner.

  From Crumpet, 8 years ago . . .

  Dear Diary

  I wish I could start a prayer thread so we could offer prayers up the ethos/god/whatever and then I can add a little prayer each day just like coco has this lovely diary...

  Dear prologos, Open mind, and Tal:

  So wonderful to see you again! I thought -- erroneously -- that we older ones were all gone!

  Well, mostly gone!

  Love,
