Christian, Lorena, and Kelly all had miserable hay fever yesterday. Christian had it the worst. They all went to the doctor and got medicine, but Christian especially did not look that much better this morning. All three of them are going back into the doctor again today. I hope that helps. Even more than that, I hope I can find some way to avoid being in Oregon from mid-May to mid-July from now on.

The kittens are getting less shy and spend all their time playing and fighting with each other. The funny thing is that Rubik, who seemed to be the most fearful is now the most playful. Both of them purr now when we pick them up and pet them. At times they run and bounce around so much they sound like a herd of wild horses. They surely are a lot of fun.

Linux: Last night, while everyone else was still at the doctors office, I tried to get the linux computer to dialup to Earthlink, but I did not have much luck. I tried it first with Fedora Core 2, but eventually switched back to Mandrake 10 (Cooker). What a hassle. I got the system to perform the dial-up, but the system would not connect. I think I have the username and password okay, because I stay connected, so my thinking is that I have something wrong with pppd. It really would like to learn about this.||Christian, Lorena, and Kelly all had miserable hay fever yesterday. Christian had it the worst.
