Dad Arrives

Posted by Scott at 11:59 PM

Good morning! I dropped the girls off at their schools. Michelle is about to take the boys to school. Then she'll head over to Golds to take the morning Boot Camp class. My dad is on his way, having left his hotel after a good night's rest. I'm working from home today so that I'll be here when he arrives. 8:08am

Got an email from Kodak's online print service. Evidently they have sold that service to Shutterfly. I never really used Kodak's service before except to view albums from my siblings. I have used Shutterfly and they do well for mail order. Lately though I've just used Walgreens. I can typically upload and get a set of prints in town in just a few hours. 8:23am

Looks like there's a new book about St. Josemaria's work: Holiness for Everyone: The Practical Spirituality of St. Josemaria Escriva. It's rare to find a book like this that isn't published by Scepter Publishers. 8:26am

Have you dated a composite woman? They’re America’s hottest new demographic: (OpEd link) 8:44am

Via the Nashua Telegraph: It's about time! Preliminary work will start this fall at Superfund site in Milford. Most of Milford looks like a typical New England town, except for two places where two (now gone) companies had stored nasty chemicals. 8:48am

Inspiring story: After a Diagnosis of Cancer, We are Left Feeling… Hopeful. 10:04am

Read this today while waiting for a simulation setup: Planned Parenthood Celebration Jolted by Abortion Survivor. Inspiring story. 10:44am

Just spoke with my dad. He's about to cross into NH from Brattleboro, VT. I expect he'll be here in an hour and a half. Then the three of us can grab some lunch together. 11:15am

Dad arrived around 12:30. Michelle and I took him to lunch at the new Cafe on the Oval and thanked him for his help. Afterwards we went for coffees and I showed him how I drop the girls off at their schools "the easier/safer way". Now back to debugging for me... 2:14pm

Coming soon: Perl version 5.16. But, but, but I kept hearing that Perl is dead and that all the cool kids use Python or Ruby for high level programming. 2:15pm

I wrapped up work around 6 o'clock. Shortly thereafter Michelle head out to her monthly cancer support group meeting. Dad and I have the kids for the next few hours. 6:43pm

Dad shared with me a bit of USAF awesomeness. Remember the classic band The Ventures? Songs like "Wipeout" and "Walk Don't Run"? Turns out their very first drummer went on to become a USAF 4 star General. See their live reunion in this video. 6:48pm

Got the boys tucked in bed with their prayers. Michelle returned from her cancer support group. We need to get a few things together and get ready for an early rise tomorrow. 9:47pm

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives do I give it to you.
Do not let your hearts be troubled or afraid.”
John 14
