snippets and snappets

My class went so well yesterday that I am excited. I now know how to tag one page to another, how to place images, how to use the click button on the image and how to have the click affect where the next page will be. This week I saw the programme being offered by the Toronto School Board and for much, much less and I was concerned. But when I saw that the classes are only nine hours over a nine week period, I realised that I am really getting value for money.
With this class, the point is to practice, practice, practice, read and practice some more. I have also found some sites that I really am very interested in and now I already know how they did them and can figure out how to do a site in the same sort of way without Flash! Imagine that! I love Flash, but now I see that it doesn't have to factor in everything you do.

I just called home and spoke to my husband. he sounds more upbeat than he has lately. I got upset though, because he was telling me that it is likely to take a long time for us to be reunited and I didn't want to hear that. To me, that is a defeatest approach. I hung up a bit teary eyed, But now I feel much surer about my approach. What he said does not have to play out that way. I am here, they are their and I have more access to information than they do. So I am not going to let one view cloud my judgement or options.

The Mahatma's birthday was this week and all the Indian blogs that I have seen have honored him in some way. Ghandi was a true inspiration to the world. When I was pregnant, i went to see the movie by Geeta Mehta, Water, the thrid in her trilogy. The scene that she did where the hero gets lost and ends up seeing Ghandi made me cry. Movies don't make me cry, and it was then that I knew that I was really becoming a mother.

Today I am going to see the works of Indian artists because one of them happens to be Reena's husband, Jittish. Stephen is going to come out with me and we are going to make a morning of it so I have to get going.
