Corpus Christi
Good morning! Michelle and I had a bit of rough sleep last night. Concerns about treatment still occasionally nag us. Soon we'll be taking the kids to Mass and DFE.
Back from Corpus Christi Mass and brunch. A new baby was baptized at today's liturgy. It's gorgeous outside at the moment, 70°F and mostly sunny.
Via the Nashua Telegraph: Milford seniors happy to be on their way -- a story about last week's graduation. Ashley Wheeler, mentioned in the story as the valedictorian for the class of 2011, is our neighbor across the street. She's the one who cared for our house during our last two summer trips to the midwest. She's headed to MIT in the fall.
Just placed a pre-order for the upcoming Just Dance 3. Sadly it won't be out until October, but the kids so enjoy the first two editions.
And now for something completely different, Antigravity Dancing. Well, not exactly. It's in a vertical wind tunnel, but cool nonetheless.
Enjoyed reading more of Zero Day this afternoon. Michelle took Claire out for some more driving practice. Mid-afternoon they relaxed with another episode of "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman". Around 4 o'clock we took the kidlets for dinner at Longhorns because we had coupons to cover the boys' meals. On the way home we picked Abby up from her sleepover.
Having “The Adjustment Bureau” send to the 1st floor TiVo to watch after the boys go to bed.
Nerdy: The storage vs bandwidth debate, an interesting look at the scaling history and how the economics are likely to continue in the years ahead.
Measuring Average Enthusiasm for Hot Weather. New England's 1st snow has a similar phenomenon...
4 of every 10 ears of corn grown in America — the source of 40% of the world’s production — are shunted into ethanol. Meanwhile the cost of food corn has doubled this past year, reducing food supply to a hungry world. We really need to end this government boondoggle in the name of green energy. It doesn't even reduce our consumption of gasoline! It takes more than a gallon of fuel to produce a gallon of ethanol.
Since Timothy was "Just Dance"ing to my all time favorite song, I brought up the video to the song for them to see.
Doctor Who constantly redefining fashion. ;-] Bow-ties, Fezzes, and Stetsons Are Cool. It's been a funny year.
Wondering if we'll soon see a headline like this: “Hugo Chavez died of heart attack yesterday in Cuba. Sean Penn and Cindy Sheehan hardest hit.” Time will tell if these Chavez rumors are true.
Watched one last episode of "Hot in Cleveland" before going to bed. "The Adjustment Bureau" will have to wait as I'm too tired to stay up that long. Good night all!
Snapshots I took today:
