Rather than a conventional opening …

The sad truth about getting old

Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, “How old was your husband?” “98,” she replied.
“Two years older than me.”
“So you’re 96,” the undertaker commented.
She responded,
“Hardly worth going home, is it?

I’m only just getting to grips with Photoshop Creative Suite 2 and hey presto, #3 is released. Awesome! I’m far from being able to say that I “USE” Photoshop… its more like I tinker with it. The power of this software is incredible and sad to say I hardly do it justice.
