It was not all cod liver oil today
After his homework was completed, the boy finally rode his bike without training wheels. Sunday his training wheels became bent so we took them off. You can see how it happened here. The culprit apologized but we had wanted to take them off anyway so it worked out. He practiced for a while Monday but […]

Better than washing his mouth with soap
My son will turn 7 this year and like many first grade kids, he has learned some swear words. He also learned that he is NOT to say those words. Today I met him when he got of the bus. I began with “We spoke to your teacher today” and he quickly replied “Yes I […]

Getting into photography
I’ve been playing around with the D60 and some digital editing. Nothing much, just minor adjustments and cropping. Since I’m doing such minor editing I don’t bother purchasing any photo applications like Adobe Photoshop Elements.

When I can I like to work on my Gundam models. It’s a hobby and it’s not computer related so that makes it a good thing. Both my kids enjoy watching me assemble the models and as an added bonus I build some just for them. They get to keep the models I make for […]

Windows XP SP3 installed
I have an odd mix of PC’s in my house. Yesterday I updated the Windows XP box with XP SP3. No issues, wonder if it’s faster than the Vista gaming rig super computer?

A great weekend
I can’t ever forget Mother’s Day since my birthday falls right next to it. Remembering does not sound like much but it’s an accomplishment for me. I have been forgetting one of my best friend’s birthdays for 35 years. In addition to enjoying my birthday, Lily and I had a great weekend with the kids. […]
