Die Hard Fans

For a brief period yesterday show # 134 was posted on Youtube. In the short time it had 6 views. I watched it on Youtube and realized that between the showing of 2 images, I could be seen at my computer, my current method of videotaping segments. Then I saw this again for another pair of frames. I removed the video from Youtube and tried to change the IMovie Project by fitting the frames better. I absolutely could not and then realized there was a flaw in one of the maps I was using. I switched maps, and the problem solved, I went through the 2 1/2 hour process of downloading this new version to my computer and then uploading to Youtube. Anyone who saw the original and then the replacement may have noticed. Indeed one of my fans, who watches as soon as the videos are uploaded, saw the error, but liked the presentation anyway. I then removed it and he said he would watch the new version; he indicated that he found the flaw. I then told him that there was still one uncorrected error and challenged him to find it. It was not necessary to watch the original to find the flaw in the current version. Anyone who finds it, gets a free trip to Florence with me escorting them on a four day tour. Only kidding!!! I should be sent to Florence for spending so much time on one show, one of the longest periods of all my shows proving once again that when I do not work, I can sit in my den creating more shows with greater regularity.

Anyway 134 is now complete, even if ten flaws are found. The problem, incidentally, was that this was just a very complicated show to create and over an hour for the first time in a long time. In fact, the diehard fans could go back through all my videos and try to find the longest show. No prize, however, other than the intrinsic joy of it!
