On October 2nd, we took Justen and Maryn to the Saturday afternoon session of General Conference, followed by dinner at a restaurant. It was a great experience and I couldn't wait to report it in my blog, but a series of quirky mishaps delayed the process. I took my camera to conference, but was unsure whether or not I would be allowed to take a picture before the session started. Upon learning that I could, I took out my camera and lined up the perfect shot. But, alas, the camera batteries were dead (Mishap #1). Undaunted, I rummaged through my camera bag to find the spare batteries I always carry. There were none (Mishap #2). Maryn, however, announced that she had brought a camera and offered to let me use it. This time, I successfully clicked the perfect picture -- or so I hoped. Afterward, Maryn went to upload the picture to her computer to send it to me. Her camera cable was missing (Mishap #3). So she ordered a new cable and it finally arrived. It was the wrong one (Mishap #4). But, she ordered an SD-Card Reader, it arrived, it was the correct one, she sent me the picture, and it was perfect! And she even sent Thanksgiving pictures as a bonus. But that's not the end of the story. I typed the blog entry, then tried to upload the picture. I lost them both (Mishap #5). So now, I'm trying again and hoping it works this time!
