Last week, I finally did something I'd meant to do for the longest time: I bought my very first state-of-the-art tablet (so I can check out stuff on the Internet wherever I go, and wherever the wi-fi is free)! I also have a new account with Google - so I'll have access to their search engine, an app store, and even an inbox with G-mail.

And, since said tablet also features a digital camera, I'd decided to try it out - only to learn that said camera is basically used for 'selfies'. (In other words, I can't turn it around and aim at other subjects, and snap a lined-up picture I have no view-finder for.) With the help of my good friend Mr. Cedeno, he taught me how to take 'my first selfie'. (62 years old, and I'm still using a Kindergarten term, of sorts!)

Hopefully, my photography will improve (and I wish I could say the same for my face), and I hope to present future 'photo-ops' of me with friends, relatives, celebrities, 'furry folks' and others.

FOOTNOTE: Since this 'selfie' was taken, the tablet I'd used suffered a broken screen two weeks later (which was no fault of mine). Not only was I unable to get my money back from Walmart (where I'd bought it), nor get it replaced, there wasn't a single repair shop in all of south Florida that would fix it. So, I was out over sixty bucks, and I wouldn't get another tablet for several months (and the next one I did get - a Kindle - had absolutely NO digital camera feature whatsoever)... Why me?!
