I felt in the need of a little peace today, so I've been looking at landscapes of places far away on Flickr. Such a change from the piles of books and papers in my work area!

Quest 5 - not required, but having fun


I created this with ImageChef. The trading card idea sounds like fun but I'm having trouble finding a picture of myself that I like! But I could make cards for my kid's soccer team . . .
I considered it a sign that when I logged on to Pandora, their featured channel was Patsy Cline Radio. Her songs form a significant part of my iTunes library.
