I can now do a Rubik's Cube... yes yes, I know... humanity will never be the same. My record time is under 5 minutes. I was content until I read about the fons that can do it in under 17 seconds.
(Oh.. for a technical description fon(s) = freak(s) of nature.)
[back]The birth of Jesus... I dunno what all this "only say 'Happy Holiday'" mumbo jumbo is all about. This year was more fun than usual. Joseph knows what going on now, and loved ripping into presents. Hanna was content doing everything that Joseph did. If I would get in gear, I hope to add some pictures to the picture page.
Oh yeah... I finally got a (greatly desired) pair of overalls!! (among many other lovely presents.)
[back]Christmas is fast approaching. We packed up the kids and walked through a tree farm to find the best tree we could find. It is amazing how nice a crooked dry tree looks when you are cold and tired. We strapped it to the roof of our brand new (slightly used 2003) minivan. As always, the tree stand plays a critical role on the level of stress required to put up a tree. I opted for a gimmicky "pivoting" tree stand that made putting up our crooked tree... an easy task. I highly recommend it.
