Spring Break?

So, this week I am finally on Spring Break. I've been waiting and waiting for this moment since...Well, I guess since Winter Break. lol

This week has been very fun and exciting...however I have a technology frustration to share with all of you.

My son turned 1 on March 20th. Greatest day! So, we had a small family party that night followed by an even bigger party the following weekend (the 28th). Well, Noah, my son, received a pool for his birthday, so I took some video footage of him playing, excitedly, in his pool from my digital video camera. While he was getting ready for cake, I thought I'd welcome the opportunity to download the footage onto my computer. So, I pulled out the SD card, slid it into my computer...and....the card would not work. I tried every angle possible to fix the problem, no luck. There was still room to record the cake, so I just dealt with the problem.

WELL...this past weekend...EASTER weekend, my wife and I went to visit her parents. We went to the beach, mini golf, blah blah blah...and come Sunday before we left for our trip home, I wanted to download the pictures onto my mother-in-law's computer. SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED! Different SD card, Different computer! This was the strangest thing. So, I tried putting the card in my computer and it worked. I just scratched my head is confusion, frustration, and disbelief.

My wife thought maybe the card was locked...but it wasn't. So now we are out of theories. I'd now like to hear yours! Has this happened to anyone else?

That, and sunburnt feet, is how the start of my Spring Break occurred!

    I see that life has been rather interesting especially spring break. Is it possible to pass viruses via SD cards? I downloaded som photos froma card and then my computer became very unstable. Not sure if the incidences are related.
    The first few days of my spring break were nice since I spent the time in Philadelphia and New Jersey. Then holy week happened...I had to prepare seven services for Thursday through Easter Sunday. I am still recovering and trying to submit work for this course because like you it was put on the back burner.
    Well done! You seem to have handled it all very well...school,work and family.
