Because this year, 2008, was a terrible year. January 2nd I was given 1 to 4 years to live. Then in March, Karen's best friend's husband killed himself. Several more heart breaking things happpened that year but this video is about making sure Karen's friend was not alone at Christmas. We got two rooms at a hotel in Mountainaire. The town is pretty fun, espcially the hotel.

A video from the past, though shortened a bit. This was the kind of video I made for my family 30 years ago.

I deleted the previous files as they really had too much me and Karen and Sammy. I like this far shorter version.

A few shots from Bosque del Apache. The javalina shots are from 2010 and the coyote are fro 2014. The Bosque del Apache is my favorite spot in New Mexico.

This was my last adventure with a backpack. I was 52 and Sammy was 2. We had a great time but I knew something was up as what used to take me about 6 hours to get to my favorite spot now took 2 days. 4 years later I was diagnosed with cancer. This adventure is a bushwhack, meaning no trail. The main lake in the mountains is just over 12k above sea level. I hope you like the video.

Most folks go to some resort where they are pampered for their honeymoon. We took two weeks with our two dogs and roamed the mountains of Colorado. It was a great time in our lives. Karen and I started dating when I was already 40 years old. No time to waste. I used a clip from the first day of our holiday to start but video was poor in those days so the show moves to photos quickly. Even though the video is poor it's enjoyable to me to see our dogs and the snow melt alive once more.

See PC file for info.

The title for this file is 1994 but it is actually 1995. One of the things PTE can do, many programs can do this with still images, is recognize the black area of the image as nothing. Most programs scan motion images as all the same whether they have blank spot or not. PTE can shrink a video by putting a letter box around the video. PTE has long been my go to program for shrinking video. This video of over 3 minutes is just 37megs. The video is one of my favorites and this is one of my favorite video openings. I hope you like it though its kind of small.
