Every year I take a week of annual leave for my birthday. Some years I need it more than others, such as this year. After all, I did turn 40 and that requires some reflection.
Oddly enough, my trepidation about getting older didn't stop me from doing a little graveyard research.
One of the joys of modern technology is that, even though I didn't plan ahead and take my camera, my Blackberry was all the camera I needed to capture images of tombstones.
Can't get the information clearly with a picture? No worries, I texted the name, birth date, and death date to my email address. Another option would have been to use the address/contacts feature and store the information.
I usually take off the day of my birthday but I must admit I like the idea of taking off a week..
ReplyDeleteI use my Blackberry at cemeteries as well. If I'm recording the entire cemetery - using the spreadsheets to go program works wonderfully. My only complaint is that I wish that the camera was a bit better - I guess that will come in time.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday.
