Short Updates
Good morning! Warm drive into Boxborough today. Already ~80F at 8am and expected to reach 97F later today. I offered a Luminous Rosary for my wife & mom and an extra decade for vocations. I listened to more of The Brothers Karamazov the rest of the way.
Michelle is about to teach her 20/20/20 class at Golds and later will take the kids to Greenfield State Park/Otter Lake for one last outing before school starts tomorrow. As I drove in this morning, I saw that it was the 1st day of school for Townsend and Lunenburg, MA. Lots of the typical 'mom taking pictures of their kids' along my drive.
Review: Apple iPad vs. Amazon Kindle. Obviously the iPad is more than an eBook reader, but this review compares them only in that respect.
Two atoms are sitting at a bar. Atom #1: "I think I've lost an electron." Atom #2: "Are you sure?" Atom #1: "I'm positive!"
Breastfeeding done right thanks to the "boobie beanie". This brought a smile to my face. Wish I'd seen them a dozen years or so ago when Michelle was always feeding one of the babies.
I always find it amusing at the office that my "targeted ads" assume I live in Raleigh, NC when I'm firmly in Yankee territory.

Netflix, Google, Apple, Amazon ... the video on demand battle is going to get bloody in the next few years.
Humorous take on how some folks rant about the non-free phone apps. "99 cents! Fahgetaboutit!"
Had a smooth drive home listening to "The Brothers Karamazov". Michelle's Kindle 3 arrived this afternoon. (pictures follow) The girls are watching an ol' Doctor Quinn. I'm going to do a few backups before going to bed. Good night all!
Snapshots I took today:
