Today's run: Shooting for my 5-miler this week
It may not seem like something to be proud of, but this past week, my Wii Fit finally started telling me "That's Overweight!" This, rather than, "That's Obese!" It doesn't sound great, but it sure felt great!!
March 24 is Ada Lovelace Day.
One of the blogs I read regularly posted a reference to a Nature article about a correlation between a kind of mental reflex and mathematical acuity.

I like making memories with my family...
We just finished watching our latest NetFlix movie, I Heart Huckabees.
Sarahlynn posted about the car being broken.
Turns out that my Zoo Keeper friend and I have something in common...
My wife was 1983... I'm not sure (being younger than she) how I ended up here:
Speaking of my work trip (note that it's 1:35 AM and I have to leave the house at 6:00 AM tomorrow) - there might be freezing rain along my route tomorrow. How do I know, exactly? WeatherBonk!' [...]

 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: [...] Sleep!! (revised)
Number of comments: 1
It's been five nights now. I feel like we (or rather I, since breast-feeding-mom always has a trick that will work) were learning a few tricks here and there, but there are times when Ada cries and nothing I do seems to work. Or course that raises my stress level [...] Sleep!!
Speaking of rough nights, I haven't gotten more than 15 minutes of consecutive sleep since 2:30 AM. Sarahlynn and Ada have been sleeping soundly for quite some time, though! It's all Ellie. I'm sure she doesn't mean to be such a pain - she's got a running nose, she's [...]
Concern
We have a very good friend in the military whose husband is a chaplain currently serving near Tikrit, Iraq. He's expected to be on his way home for his "Christmas" visit this weekend. As you might expect, we're all very anxious with him traveling across the country, and then the [...]
11 Day Old
Our church has just called a new senior pastor / head of staff. Part of that process is for the new pastor to come and preach for the congregation before there's a final vote to hire (in this case) him. So, he and his family are here this weekend [...]
Pieces, Pieces, Back TogetherThank you, Ando
Ando Momofuku is probably a name you've probably never heard; but if you went to college or have ever lived alone, you are likely to owe this man a debt of gratitude. Ando is the "Ramen King" -- the inventor of Ramen Noodles. Ando passed away yesterday at [...]
Pieces, Pieces, Everywhere
Those of you who are family and close friends are probably already familiar with my family website, so I won't bother to post a link. Besides, the website is down right now... here's the story.
Since about 1998, I've been running a webserver on my home computer. The first [...] Three Beautiful Things
I don't know why this Oct 10, 2006 post popped up on the top of the atom-feed from my brother-in-law's blog... but it seemed like a good idea to follow his example and try to follow this example.

Note the postmark on this card from our friend in the FBI:
I'm not great at keeping the house clean to begin with, so the idea of messy play is usually a bit intimidating to me. I guess I have to be in the right mood for it. Tonight, though, was finger-painting night at our house:
Thanks to my wife's planning, it's been a weekend full of fun family entertainment: Gateway Arch, Greek Fest, Renaissance Faire, Zoo, and more to come today!
Today, I was at the largest Obama rally ever... 100,000 people showed up in St. Louis, today, to hear Obama speak. Â Wow.
Testing again. Hope it works this time. Who knows.
