Another week, still no ca$h. Still looking after the dog. Work, home. And the biggie: Quest gave 10 laptops to the school!!! I was SO excited, I danced around my office. I have them almost setup-a few had minor issues. All with EdUbuntu except the server (Fedora) and a spare.
My exciting life: Visited my parents Sat. for my birthday, kids swam, long drive. Church Sunday, swimming again, walking the dog, work, that’s it. It’s been cooler-the rest of the country is baking now.
Issues and current events:Israeli ceasefire after bombing children-started up again-that didn’t last long-they’re sending in the ground troops. And endless talk with no real progress. I learned the intro to Steely Dan’s Josie-a snip I’ve always liked. When I got my guitar out the boys wanted to hear Puff the Magic Dragon, so I obliged. It made me think about the lyrics-they’re about growing up and leaving behind things you loved. It makes me sad-I guess I’m grieving the things I left behind. Also something about having boys and seeing them grow and reliving some of my youth. Castro is sick, Miami rejoices. But it doesn’t seem as if he’s going to die, but no one knows-no one’s seen him.
Links and downloads:Wiki How-howto’s, RuneScape-an online game the boys try to play, Steve Pavlina-some guy who has some interesting things to say, rad rails-an IDE for Ruby on Rails, tv: SurvivorMan-this guy who gets dropped off in the middle of nowhere and has to survive for a week on practically nothing.
Page 23, Sentence 5: “Boys often need us to show them that it’s okay to go into the cave and it’s essential that the boy feel good about coming out of the cave, (and we’ll be waiting) to be reaccepted and refined by his insights.” The Wonder of Boys
