I do pick up my camera most every day (can't imagine what retirement would be like without my camera and PC to play with the pictures) and I get a great deal of enjoyment in working with it.

One of the challenges in genealogy research
This is a copy of the transcription record of the 1920 census record for my uncle Charlie. He's listed as Charley Blanders - not Charlie Flanders. Granny is Jarlie O. Blanders - not Verlie, and mom is Ida M. Blanders, not Ida N. Flanders. You could go a long time without ever finding this record!
On the other hand, the genealogical things that are available on line now are truly amazing - as is the software that handles them! I wasn't even looking for the record above - the program found it and suggested it.
