My wife & I are both off today. We went for a bike ride and hike, now we're back at la casa and after she finishes drying her hair, I'm thinking we might go indulge in some Mexican Food.

Yup. I was a light day though...put this hardwood in a bath suite. The materials were straight and true, which is sorta unusual these days.

Please don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is obviously me, But my attitude depends largely upon you.
I really didn't want to come in today but I just now discovered this:
Bobcat, I'm pretty sure, right here in one of largest urban areas on the west coast. Kewl.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

The wife and I spent the day emptying the bedroom of furniture and repainting it. Saturday we get a whole load of new bedroom furniture delivered.

I spent years working every Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. No. It was because the boss wanted to run the plant.
Just got in from driving "X" hundreds of miles to Spartanburg SC. and back. Yes Charles, had there been more time I would have called you so we could FAJITA. But this being a holiday (bullshit muffled in a cough) I wanted to get back to enjoy the final 3 hours of it. Traffic through Atlanta this morning was pretty good. Coming back was a different story. P.S. The State Troopers are everywhere, especially in SC.

Yup. Not much of a brand fanatic here -- my true advice is to "play before you pay". Canon and Nikon are both great and have a lot of stuff at every level. Other brands, too. Sony has nice stuff, but I've been boycotting them for eons.
If you're new to DSLR's, it probably won't matter much (they're all good). If you're new to digital photography in general, I'm not sure that a DSLR would be my first choice. There is a lot out there to choose from and the compacts these days are quite good. $500 will buy a top-end compact camera that has almost everything a DX sensor DSLR has except the interchangeable lens. Check out the Canon G15.
I got into Nikon purely for the ergonomics -- feels "right" to me. Have used Canon DSLR's, too (5D MKII and others). Some like Nikon, others Canon. You know how it goes, but if you're going with a DSLR, I'd advise a bit of "playing" before you buy. Reason? It kinda locks you into a system where lenses and accessories are concerned. You can't mount a Nikon lens on a Canon, etc.
Been into photography since I was a six year old and the advancements are amazing. Main camera here is a Nikon D7000 (almost 2 years old now), but I use the little Canon S95 quite a lot. The D7000 is more of a "computer imaging device" than a camera. Bastard has more settings than a Yaesu. Took it to the T'giving family soiree yesterday with a SB-800 flash. Think I did okay, no friggin way I'd do this with film.
