Easy Rider?

By Chris Turner -
In the instruction phase, it's all about the confidence.

In the aftermath, it's all about the freedom.

On the following Tuesday, Seamus rode his bike for 2 1/2 hours. He rode for an hour at home in the morning, and later in the day he rode on the river walk with us for a half hour, later yet for an hour out at our house. He was greatly improved from these Sunday videos. He's lovin' it !

Sophia's Surgical Narrative

By Chris Turner -
A camera and microphone are installed on all modern Macintoshes, along with an application called PhotoBooth , which allows users to take photos of themselves, along with movies. Thursday after Sophia's surgery, Seamus was upstairs playing Mario Kart on the Wii , and from the back room, curiously, I could hear Sophie discussing the previous day's procedure and figured it was via PhotoBooth. Without anyone's urging she videoblogged the enclosed entry, and I tracked down the video file in her account to upload for everyone's information.
