Log entries have been sporadic. I just have not been in the mood, and also busy. I will be pretty busy for a while yet.
Patrick has a music program Thursday. It was a rock version of Mother Goose. It was pretty fun. His teacher told me Wednesday he passed out during rehearsal. We think is was due to dehydration and just being tired. Rachel went with the Girl Scouts to Ogden Nature Center.
Thomas woke up Tuesday running from the bottom. It cleared up, but we kept him home Wednesday just in case.
Tuesday evening was the Cub Scout pack meeting. Patrick and his den all got the Bear badges. The bridging ceremony is in May. One of the members is leaving because his father is taking command of air wing in Spokane.
I’ve been playing with Google Calendar for the past week or so. It’s pretty good. I like the fact I can access it from wherever I have web access, although it won’t work with the mobile browser on my phone. It also interfaces with SMS, so I can get reminders on my cell. That didn’t initially work, which was a little rebarbative. I sent a message to Google Help on it, and they sent a generic reply to check settings. A few days later it started to work, and I noticed a couple of changes in the setup. It also accepts iCal format, so I can forward appointments from work.
I stole this from Matt Smith. Not sure where the provenance is, though.
* Where did you go on your very first date? What did you do?
A girl in my German class asked my to a school dance. The bad part now is I can’t remember which dance or what her name was.
* Where did you go on your first date with your sweetie? What did you do?
We went to a Mexican restaurant in Orlando. I was there for a developer conference. A co-worker (Sheila Clark, the person the new Salt Lake planetarium is named for) had a niece living there. She maintained to her last day she was not trying to set us up.
* At what age did you start dating?
17 as a senior in high school.
* How long did you and your sweetheart date before getting married?
About 12 months.
* When did you know you were going to get married?
About two months after meeting her.
* What would you like to do on a date that you have never done before?
We went to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and went to the beach in Florida when we were dating. Boston or New York City, maybe? Someplace fancy.
Yes, I’ve been using words from Dictionary.com’s Word of the Day. I’ve also been using Google’s Reader as my RSS aggregator. I installed Gregarius, but I was not happy with it. Google’s is cleaner, although it failed to load once or twice.
