My digital camera arrived two days ago. I haven't even put the batteries in it yet. I did at least take it out of the box. It looks pretty but I have no idea what the pictures are like. Not that I have anything to take a picture of. Perhaps I will take few of Keegan when I pick him up after work.

I feel a spreadsheet coming on. :)
