Short Updates

Posted by Scott at 11:44 PM

I was tired last night. I didn't even make it through the introduction of my new Jean-Pierre De Caussade book before my eyes got heavy. 6:33am

It's funny how one "new" GameBoy Micro has renewed Timothy's interest in our collection of old GameBoy cartridges. (prior to the DS's) 6:36am

It's rainy again! I wish there was some movie I could take the kids to see this weekend. Alas, Prince Caspian isn't until mid-May. 6:39am

Back from the Milford Golds. 'Twas my first time with a local membership rather than leveraging the "Golds Alliance" cross site access. 11:06am

Showed Michelle & the kids the "Behind the scenes" for Speed Racer that's sitting on everyone's TiVo this week. Looks like it has potential. 11:10am

Claire is proudly wearing a skirt she made this morning using Michelle's sowing sewing machine. That's the most use the machine's had in years. 12:14am

We were going to have lunch out, but instead decided to have an early dinner out after a 3pm Confession run for Michelle, Claire, Abby & me. 12:17am

The youngest four are having a blast playing Mario Kart Wii while Claire is helping Michelle make some home made chicken chili for lunch. 12:21am

Claire went with me to Donut Fresh Express to pick up some coffee to cheer us up on this gloomy overcast afternoon. 1:47pm

Having an early dinner with Michelle and the kids at Smokey Bones. Later we'll stop by the Pheasant Lane Mall. 4:25pm

The boys and I picked up the official Mario Kart guide. Now they're burning off some steam at the mall playground. 5:25pm

"sowing machine" Must be the teacher in me coming out Scott- but don't you mean "sewing machine"?

How tired were ya when you posted?

And congrats to Claire. I sure couldn't make a skirt- sowing or sewing.

Hi Erica,

Yes, it's an easy typo for me since I rarely, if ever, type it. Michelle hasn't done any sewing since our days in Dayton, OH. Claire has had to re-learn how to use the machine almost from scratch without a lot of guidance from Michelle.

Keep in mind most of these sentences are just typed out periodically throughout the day when I get a minute or two. Sometimes they originate from my cell phone, which is even more error prone.

'ya' — don't you mean 'you'? ;-P
