Short Updates
Good morning! Must stop dawdling and hit the shower. I hear the sound of a DVR'd "Dancing with the Stars" finale playing downstairs. Too bad WMUR spoiled it for me this morning and told me who won. (and I think Claire will be happy with the result...)
Dropped Claire & her friends off at school. VPN'ing into the office and working from home today. It's shaping up to be a nice spring day outside. Sunny and mid-70's.
If that morning coffee isn't getting you going this morning, this video should get your heart pumpin'. I love the way Top Gear reviews cars. Use of the YouTube "HQ" setting, combined with full screen mode, is highly recommended if you have the bandwidth and compute horsepower. (related link)
Phenomenal Catholic video. "May Feelings" (related link)
The boys will be thrilled. UPS just dropped off the newly released "Boom Blox Bash Party" for Nintendo Wii. (related link) They spent half the winter playing "Boom Blox", when they weren't playing "Wii Music".
My friend Jeff succinctly expresses what Michelle and I have been saying for days now: "If congress can set engineering goals for cars, why not legislate that cancer drugs will be 100 percent effective by 2010 or something?"
Went with Michelle to Amigos for lunch. I had their local dish, Mexican Mac 'n Cheese, which is awesome.
I'm getting near the end of listening to "Life of Mary". (related link) . Still haven't decided what to listen to next. I'm thinking "The Brothers Karamazov", but may go off on a SciFi binge with either "Ender's Game" or some geek fiction by Neal Stephenson. Feedback welcome...
Looking forward to seeing Claire at chorus recital tonight (in about an hour...)
I'm back from the middle school chorus where Claire participated. We stopped by Haywards on the way back to pick up ice cream for Claire, Abby, & Michelle.
Snapshots I took today:
