Basketball

Two games in Athol, and one in Acton.

Bowling

Lucy at her Saturday morning bowling league. She rolled a 50 in her second game today.

Basement

This week's ice flow eventually made it to our basement. Its hard to tell from the picture, but the floor is wet, though drying.

Homework

Dad helps Lucy with math.

Global Warming

Global warming stranded Penny on a backyard ice flow.

Global debug with France required leaving for work a bit earlier than usual.

Not Pictured

Pictured left is Daniel, still in uniform, doing his homework much later than he should.
Not pictured from this weekend are the following: Lucy bowling a 39 and 25 in her Saturday morning league, Dan feeling good and scoring 4 points in a losing effort, Pete getting a last minute reprieve and scoring 8 points, also in a losing effort, Lori down in Boston Friday and Saturday listening to pedagogues, Lucy and Dad having lunch at the Benjarrong, the boys returning safe and happy from their ski trip, Lucy and Dad making sugar cookies, etc.

Gaga for GaGa

Lucy GaGa

Early start to the Jr. High ski trip.

It's a Barby World

Nick and Lucy waiting for the bus.

Lucy's Barbies getting their beauty sleep.






Note: No blog yesterday due to domestic non-tranquility.

Nothing Much

Scott Brown supporters outside the Junior High yesterday. Suprisingly, they had the last laugh.

Lori feeds snow to our improving puppy.

Lucy shows off today's Acton Art project.

Dog Days

Penny recovering from surgery.

Blinded by Science

It took a while, and a lot of finger pointing, but we found the goggles in preparation for Saturday's ski trip.

A Balmy Sunday

The master gardener surveys her realm and plans for Spring. Dan in action in the AB Blue vs. AB Gold game. An unrepentant Peter eats leftover pizza after being ejected from his game for a flagrant foul.

XBox

Dan teaches Lucy some Skate2 moves.

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.

Last Dog Class

Lori and Penny get ready for class. This is the end of the third session and might be it for a while.

More NYC

A long day with Hooter in NYC. Highlights include McSorely's, a knish store, and Kenny Barron at the Jazz Standard.

A Day at the Opera

The Blogger and his dad return from their yearly opera. This year was Der Rosenkavailier.

Road Trip

The Blogger gets ready for his annual trip to NYC and the Metropolitan Opera. Note the cleverly displayed collection of Championship AMHL Pucks in the background.

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.

The Google

Our life is organized, scheduled, and documented using Google Calendar.

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.

Vacation Ends

Sunday is basketball day. Both teams lost, but that's not the point. Did they have fun? Most def.
