Well, I've visited Flickr, and, I admit, it was easier than I expected to register and follow the steps to posting -- and possibly sharing -- photos. Let's see now if my Venezia Dreamin' photo is added to my blog. Thanks to Tim and Annie for their assistance.

Week 2: Creating a Blog
This was certainly a week of learning! I've created a blog; who woulda thunk it? The exercise was fun, and I plan to look at all of my co-workers' blogs, trying to discover who wrote what. I decided to enter some personal information in my profile, thinking that nobody but LCLS staff will ever give it a perusal.
I think the 7 and 1/2 habits of learning is worth pursuing, and I've decided to finally learn Italian at a level of competence that I won't embarrass myself if I should be so fortunate as to ever return to Italy.

Venezia Dreamin'
I've decided to make good use of this 7 1/2 Habits exercise to finally get myself to learn Italian, at least at a level of proficiency where I will appear to be a gracious, appreciative American tourist to the hosting country on my next -- and highly anticipated -- visit to Italy. (No, I have no trip scheduled; I might have to wait until my next retirement.) Knowing how welcoming the Italians are and how they make every effort to understand our attempts to communicate in their lovely native language, I would like to have a proficiency skill that would meet them halfway.
Yes, I am dreaming of Venice...and Florence...and Santa Margherita Ligure. On our last visit my husband took hundreds of photos, and sometimes now we grab a glass of wine and gather around his computer to watch a slide show of our wonderful Italian adventure.
To fulfill my learning experience, I plan to make good use of LCLS's wonderful collection of language CDs. I also plan to download a few of the Italian language audios from the Download Library on my MP3; they will be perfect for those daily early morning walks. Of course, the early morning walks are also one of my not-yet-achieved goals.
Ciao, ciao for now.
