Good morning! Dropped my car off for its annual state inspection. The family is considering riding the M/S Mount Washington this afternoon. (related link) I'm VPN'd into the office today, trying to wrap up loose ends.
Decided to order a Canon PowerShot SD780IS for Michelle and Abby.
Car is back from its state inspection. The ladies are getting ready to head out to Weirs Beach to ride the M/S Mt. Washington.

Re: cap 'n trade bill. "NO TAXATION WITHOUT ASSIMILATION!" Take a lesson from earlier this year and *read the bill*. No RAHM'ed legislation.
Just called Michelle. They all got to Weirs Beach and have been on "the boat" for about half an hour. Says weather is nice up there.
Went for a late lunch at the Cafe on the Oval followed by a coffee run. It's raining again. Day 9 in the Novena of Rain. No mowing tonight.

Our Rinnai rocks! I'm able to fill the bathtub while someone is taking a shower at the same time. Still happy with it a year later...
Laughing at this priceless quote from Jeff Miller: "The best way to get rid of zombies is to drop them in the nation's capitol where they will starve for brains." Indeed!
If one was going to summarize St. Josemaria/Opus Dei in two paragraphs, this is about as good as I've seen. (related link)
Michelle is telling me that on the drive home from Lake Winnipesaukee she didn't get the stereotypical "Are we there yet?" Instead Timothy asked several times, "What state are we in now?" "New Hampshire, Tim, and we'll stay in New Hampshire for the whole drive." Five minutes later, "What state are we in now?" This is when God strengthens our parenting patience muscles through "resistance training".
If you have Disney Channel tweens in the house, I'm bettin' that they're watching "Princess Protection Program" now. Disney has been hyping that movie for months and the premiere is finally on. Our girls are watching it downstairs.
