Disney On Ice ...

Lila left a bit ago to attend the Disney On Ice at Rosemont with Kevin's clan.  Mark (asleep) and I are at home in Elgin. I brought some work home and am now trying to get interested in doing it.  It snowed a small amount last night so I scooped Lila's half of the driveway.  I'm waching Eureka (episoide 22 - God Is In The Details) on Netflix.  Anne emailed with concern's about Alexandra's pregnancy yesterday so I spoke to Alex and Anne on the phone.  Lila, Mark and I saw the Tailor, Tinker, Soldier, Spy movie in St. Charles last night and ate pizza at Giordano's.  I signed up for on-line chess a couple of weeks ago but I dare not play real people until I can at least play kiddie-chess with the computer.  My chess game is on a par with my non-existent golf game.

Day #22711 in the Life ...

Above is the latest PCB project (Automobile window control).   Lila had a call to substitute teach but it fell through due to a foul up ... darn.

It snowed six inches on Friday ...

It snowed six inches on Friday so I got to run the small (98cc) snow blower that we bought last summer at a yard sale.  Yesterday, Saturday, Lila and I went to a birthday party (100 years old) for the mother of of Lila's friend.   It was a large and well organized and impressive get-together at the First Baptist Church in Gary, Indiana.   Went to Sunday School and church this morning.  During installation, I broke a new oven gas igniter Lila had ordered a week or so ago ($50) ... darn it.  Lila wasn't happy, either.  Saw the Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close movie (Tom Hanks, Sarah Bullock, John Goodman).  Very heavy movie with lots of Oscar potential.  I've been watching the Eureka TV series on Netflix ... entertaining SF show.

Hey!  Look what I found ... is this cool or what?
