Check out Cousin Charlie’s awesome Guatemala blog. It is a fascinating read. He is definitely having an “interesting” time and I am sure he would appreciate any comments you might leave. For future reference, so you can get back to it whenever you want, I have add a link to his blog in my blog roll to the left of this text. We were reminded about this by…

My sister, Julia is visiting for a few days from Oregon. She is out east to go to a trade show in Atlanta so she is spending a few days with us. We are VERY happy that she is hear, especially since part of the plan is to teach some more cooking to Kelly and Christian. I guess today they are going to make grilled pizza! Julia is the craft queen, too, so the kids are wildly happy she is here. I will post a picture here of her with the kids for those of you who know her. She is an iron woman! She is operating on west coast time, but plans to get up with Lorena and the kids to go get in a workout when they go to their swim practice at what would be 4:30 AM in Oregon. Inspiring!

I got a great note from our buddy Kevin W. He was looking for a bible program to run on his laptop. He has converted it over to Ubuntu Linux! He used e-sword on his Windows computer and wanted to do the same on the Ubuntu computer. I recommended BibleTime and GnomeSword. He got them installed and working, but could not transfer his notes. So, instead of give up, he figured out how to run the Windows e-Sword program using the Wine program that provides the capability to run Windows programs on Linux computers. Not everything worked perfectly. He had to jump through some hoops to get his notes imported into the program, but he got it going and is using it now. He sent us a note about it and has inspired us to try to get our Rosetta Stone Spanish running on Wine. That will be a great project for Christian.
