OK, OK, you have to understand that when your mother uses the word "win" it may be just a little too strong. In fact "win" doesn't describe the event at all since I wasn't aware of the possibility of "losing" per se, so "win" cannot apply. However, she did make a good point, a very good point ...

Anyway, that's settled and understood! You mother doesn't "win", largely because I don't "lose" and I am not, even in the smallest particular, competitive, especially with your mother.

Some proposed rules:

1. Photos should be uploaded in an orientation that prevents the temptation of picking up my nice flat screen thing and rotating it so I can better apprehend what it is I am looking at. Screens are like coffee -- "fall-ible".
   
2. Life is too short to spend it all on a blog, so we should all restrain our overwhelming verbosity and participate in a reasonable fashion and not neglect other duties.
3. We do not keep a record of mistakes in grammar, spelling, or remembering the real names of movies.
   

A proposed project:

1. On January first we used to do a family journal/record of what happened during the last year. I propose that we all record the year and month and a short description of whatever it is we remember, when we remember it (!) so as to eventually reconstruct that family journal.
