You can create an account and store all your pictures there. Once you've done that and you pics are online, it's easy to then drag pictures into your blog posts. Let me know how you get on and if you need any more help. Russ, if you’re going to put a lot of your pictures online, the best way is to use the Flickr website: http://www.flickr.com.

We so often choose the category that either gives us the most prestige, the most comfort or the most connection to something larger than ourselves. Alternately we reject the claims of others who claim to be one of us when their claim would broaden and devalue our categories. Not trying to connect that to any one response, but it's worthwhile considering every once and a while. - Parke, a "what-in-the-world-is-that-guy-generic-anglo-mix-somewhere-fron-Europe- generations-removed";) Social categories are interesting things aren’t they?

As an Irishman myself, when we were over in LA at ORIGINS I had to laugh every day at how many Americans claim the Irish blood. There was this one guy who said 'My great, great grandfather was Scottish, his wife was Welsh, so that makes me Irish.' I have to laugh!! I bet there probably are Native Americans who claim they are Irish. But watch out...it was from Ireland that the mystical spark of Jesus was re-ignited hundreds of years ago, and I think it is going to happen again. Pete,

I think the UK (not Europe then) lost. I remember my dad (a scratch player and Sheffield Amatuer Champion in '38) telling me that in the UK we don't not have the 'killer' instinct. We are too gentlemanly - play up and play the game and all that. However I think finally we are reaching a point where we are technically and mentally as good - better in fact than the US. BUT we have not lost the respect and gentlemanly quality, it simply enhances the result. It was nice to see that this time Tom Lehman and his team were gentlemanly in defeat. BTW if it was only down to the luck of the Irish the US would probably win hands down. There must be more Irish blood in the US than in Ireland and Europe together!! BUT finally there is something about the game of golf that echoes our walk with Jesus. Some days we are in the rough and all over the place, some days we are straight down the middle, some days we get to the green in regulation and then mess up by three putting. BUT after each round we always want to go back for more to see if we can make it better and get closer to His pefect score.

I guess in the context of the Ryder Cup, the answer is yes! My convictions in all other contexts remain very much the same though! (What does "BIGO" mean?) Good question Alex!!
