Long Day
Good morning! I dropped the girls off at their schools. I'm working from home today. Looks like it'll be awesome for NH in March: sunny with highs around 82°F! Now to catch up on all the overnight work email...
Went with Michelle to the Thursday morning Step and Abs class. The instructor had recently taken a new course on abdominal training and had an interesting new routine at the end for an ab workout.
Decided to surprise the kids when they get home from school. Bought Angry Bird Space for OSX and set it up on the iMacs.
Via skroger: “You know what's awesome and sucks at the same time? Accountability. Thankful for patient people in my life who call me to holiness.”
Wanna talk about a real ‘war on women’? How about the Village Voice? Story at the New York Times.
We have an ‘earworm’ group on Google+. Currently this is my favorite of the day: «Take On Me» done with accordions. If I were a teenage girl, I'd rate it as “adorkable”.
Took Michelle out for lunch at Cafe on the Oval and iced coffees at DFE afterwards. It's so nice to see her wearing sleeve-less again. 82°F and sunny. The same temperature it is all the way south in Kissimmee, Florida! Ah, well. Back to debuggin'...
Via patrickmadrid: “Recently overheard » ‘Rap artists who used to be gangsters and thugs tell us not to illegally download music because that would be stealing.’ ”
Via iowahawkblog: “Sick of hearing Rush Limbaugh? 1. change channel. 2. if problem persists, turn radio off. 3. if problem still persists, seek psychiatrist.”
Via LT_TheBiblegeek: “If today you're considering a meal filled with saturated fat and cholesterol, harden not your heart.”
Making the rounds on YouTube and Facebook: a new song called “Kill Rush”. «sigh» Just two words for you guys: “New Tone??”.
If exploration and development of our own local oil production can't help prices, why would conservation of oil help prices? Yes, Mr. President my cars are “tuned up” and I've “inflated my tires”. Now authorize all of the Keystone pipeline, don't just take credit for a segment that was already getting built.
Long day. Just finished up with work. Gnarly debug session. Powered things down and now am just waiting for Claire to call to be picked up from Subway.
Luckily I didn't have to wait long tonight for Claire to finish up. Another sign of our early spring, I can hear the mating calls of the spring peepers in our swamp, I mean "wetlands". I'd say, "Get a Room!" but the wetlands are their home. ;-] Good night all!
Take it with a grain of salt, but The More Facebook Friends You Have, the More Unhappy You Probably Are.
“Jesus said, ‘I have testimony greater than John's.
The works that the Father gave me to accomplish,
these works that I perform testify on my behalf
that the Father has sent me.’ ” — John 5
