Hither and Yon
Good morning! Claire and I just finished the Saturday morning Step and abs class at Golds Gym.
Had a simple lunch of leftovers. At Timothy's insistence I installed the Awesome Window Manager on my ArchLinux VM. We wanted to see how little memory is used with just the OS, XWindows, and the Awesome window manager. Turns out: about a hundred megabytes. We are so spoiled these days with memory. That is considered lightweight by today's standards. Back when I was in the USAF, that was the total memory in a high end workstation.
Michelle took Abby and Daniel for their dance classes. I'm about to take Timothy and Claire to their piano lessons. Glad both of us can drive.
Relaxing a bit and re-watching the Christmas special of Doctor Who. Just felt like watching it again. Just Me 'n Michael.
Picked up Claire and Timothy from their piano lesson.
Dropped Claire off at Subway and picked up Abby from dance class.
TiVo has released their mobile app for Android. From what I've tried, it works pretty well.
Ordered a few romance novels for Michelle. The Scottish Prisoner, Songs of Love and Death, and Portal to Loch Doon, the Kindle version.
Claire is working at Subway, but we're going to take the rest for dinner at Red Arrow Diner.
Timothy has been tinkering with it and has convinced me to try yet another distribution of Linux: Sabayon Linux. Downloading the ISO via Torrent.
I found Sabayon to be a bit bumpy. Tucked the boys in bed with their prayers. Went to pick up Claire from Subway. Going to put on a podcast and get some sleep. Good night all!

Jesus heard this and said to them,
‘Those who are well do not need a physician, but the sick do.
I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.’ ” — Mark 2
