Uncle Roger's Notebooks of Daily Life
My life is, to me, ripe with frequent challenges, occasional successes, spontaneous laughter, adequate tears, and enough *life* to last me a lifetime. To you, however, it surely seems most pedestrian. And therefore, I recycle the name I used previously and call this my Notebooks of Daily Life. Daily, because it's everyday in nature, ordinary. These conglomeration of events that are my life are of interest to me because I live it, perhaps mildly so to those who are touched by it, and could only be of perverse, morbid curiosity to anyone else. Yet, I offer them here nonetheless. Make of them what you will, and perhaps you can learn from my mistakes.

As of this writing, I have about 9,700 photos stored on -- are you sitting down? -- a Windows-based computer. Windows, as you well know, is a piss-poor excuse for an operating system and is prone to crapping out and taking your data with it.
While I do have the photos backed up (on an external USB hard drive and on a network server), that doesn't mean they're safe from Windows. While losing them would not be the end of the world by any means, it would still be an immense loss. Every time I take a picture, every time I load new photos onto the computer, I worry about losing them all. That scares me.

The most important thing in the world, to me, is my two kids, Jared and Sara. The thought of something happening to them is indeed terrifying.

One thing I'm afraid of is that we might end up with another failure in the white house.
