Happy Birthday Christian

We had a really nice birthday dinner of sheesh kabobs followed by the opening of some very cool presents, the singing of happy birthday, and the eating of cake last night. Christian’s was a memorable birth. He was born in Tualatin, Oregon early in the morning as one of the most beautiful sunrises in the history of the world shown through an east facing hospital window. He had lot and lots of beautiful black hair; probably not as much as his mother whose hair they say was already down to her shoulders at the time of her birth. It was a great time for reflection and to think about what we want to do next. The big decision right now is whether we want to build a more advanced version of the hovercraft we finished last weekend or save our pennies and buy a kit that we can build together over the winter. Both of them would be great options. The other issue is that one of Christian’s birthday presents was a subscription to the hard copy edition of Make Magazine. There are TONS of way cool projects in it. The hard part is going to be to stick to our project until we finish it without getting distracted by something else.

Lorena and the kids are taking off to convention this afternoon. I have to stay here and work until Friday night. I am hoping to get some work done on my Linux projects to kill the time while they are gone.
