We went out biking again

We went out biking again today. I've gone pretty much every day since I got my new bike, and most day's both Sabrina and I have gone for at least a little while. We went out to a reservoir today in West Hartford that has a 3 mile paved bike path around the water, which is very nice. It's very scenic, and wasn't really too crowded. There were a fair number of people, but spread out over the whole thing it isn't too bad.

We filmed a wedding for one of Sabrina's mother's friend's the other night. There was an official photographer as well, but she wanted a video of it too. It went fairly well. We got to the church about half an hour before the ceremony started to figure out where we should stand and where things were. They had a bagpiper out front when the bride arrived in the limo, and we filmed all that, and the bride walking down the isle, the ceremony, the recessional, etc. Then we went on to the reception, which was at A Villa Louisa in Bolton, CT. It was a nice enough place, specializing in receptions and catering. It had a fountain in the front entry way, and also a nice view. We got video of all the necessary stuff, like the wedidng party coming in, the toasts, cutting the cake, throwing the bouquet, etc.

The video came out better than I thought it would. I was worried there wouldn't be enough light for the camera. It's a digital video camera and they aren't really very good in low light. It was fairly good anyway, and it got better sound than I expected. I don't know if we'll try to edit the video at all or not. We didn't have to, but it's somewhat fun to do anyway, so we might try to put something together. It's pretty time consuming though, and will use up a ton of disk space on the computer, so we'll see.

My class at Strayer University starts tomorrow. It's on Access databases, so it shouldn't be too hard. I have read through the first part of the text book already and it isn't too difficult. I already know quite a bit about it, so I don't expect much trouble. I'm mostly doing it just to see if I like the school and the class format before comitting to getting a BS degree there. We'll see how it goes.
