Dad Arrives
What really made "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" truly awesome?? The Story? The Acting? The scenery? Nope! (YouTube video)
I think I've found just the amount of Cute Overload to get my girls out of bed this morning... (related story) 'Awwwww-ful'
Busy morning! I dropped the older four off at their schools. While doing so I noticed that the trunk on my car is still acting up. After a quick breakfast at Cafe on the Oval, I swung over to LDN to have them take another quick look. We're now suspecting a couple of things. They readjusted the strike post height and ordered a new latch.
Since I didn't get out of LDN until 8:30, the drive down was smoother. I listened to a new CD on the way down and then to some of Security Now #373, my favorite tech podcast, the rest of the way.
Had lunch with my spiritual director.

Now following my local Cardinal, @CardinalSean, on Twitter. Been privileged to see/hear him at a couple of local events over the past few years. He has committed to being more active on Twitter in this Year of Faith that starts today and especially between now and the election.
In case there was any doubt why money was raised for a Nikola Tesla museum this past month.
It's been an update intense day at my office. Both my laptop and desktop needed numerous Microsoft and Adobe updates (pushed out by corporate IT). So while I was at it, I updated my hacked Kindle Fire with the latest CM10 updates and the new release of the Google+ app. I don't know about my Windows machines, but I can see improvements on the tablet!
It looks like my dad made it to NH. Looking forward to heading home to see him!
Had a smooth commute home. Tonight Michelle and Claire went to St. Patricks for Claire's last meeting before Confirmation. I just reheated some dinner and helped my dad get his laptop on our wireless network.
The Milford Cabinet has a writeup and photos from last week's Pumpkin Festival.
Said prayers with the family and got the boys tucked in bed. The rest are watching the Vice Presidential Debate. I'm going to avoid it and enjoy some Big Bang Theory. Good night all!

know how to give good gifts to your children,
how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit
to those who ask him?” — Luke 11
