Date Night

Well, the pictures aren't great, but date night was fun. Sherlock Holmes, the movie, starring Robert Downey Jr. somewhat as himself (at least the self destructive part), followed by a snack at the Blue Coyote.

Bowladrome


To try to cheer people up, we had a spur of the moment family bowling night. Burgers, shakes, and beer for the parents were included. Unfortunately, I'm failing as a photo-blogger and forgot my camera. So cutting a pasting from the Acton Bowladrome is the best I can do. I should have done the same thing for last night's basketball practice at Fore Kicks.

Ballet

Lucy's ballet class invited in the parents yesterday. According to reports, Lucy is doing very well and danced beautifully. She also likes to draw ballerina's. She told me the top dancer has an ugly face, but I think the drawing is excellent.

Missed Blog: yesterday marked the first miss on the picture-per-day goal. I'm going to blame it on the distraction of the ongoing COD battle.

Madri Gras Warmup

Lori has been making Jambalaya since our Kenosha days. Lucy and boys loved it, but needed water, oranges, and white bread to cool their mouths. Tonight's dinner was a warm-up for a possible Madri Gras party.

Penny Time

Daniel wakes up every day at 5:22 to get some Penny time. It used to be 5:30, but Peter wanted Dan in the shower earlier and changed his alarm. Of course Daniel now just stays downstairs longer and Peter continues to complain.

Back to Work


I've worked at Aware since 1996. That is a long time. As you can see, we have our own building. Note all the knick-knacks I've accumulated. Even the writing on the white board is old. If you look closely you can see some of Daniel's equations.
