Here’s LRN12 with her blankie, watching Dora. Or possibly Spongebob. Or maybe Cinderella. Or the Aristocats. Or something else appropriate. Her tastes are eclectic. Great Art courtesy of the exclusive iPhone-cam.

It’s getting late, so this will be short. Had a good day. Worked, etc. Fulfilling day. And relaxing evening. I’ve been trying to help LRN2 get his wireless card working right, which it doesn’t seem to be doing. I’m thinking it might be the actual USB connector on it, but he’s not so sure. In any case, it may be time for another new card. Sigh (for him).

There’s some exciting toilet news today – they’re making them into Great Art! I’m thinking of a similar installation in our back yard. Maybe draining into the pool Wouldn’t that be nice?

Here’s our cruise ship hiding behind a tree in Haines. And this is a momentous event because . . . it’s the last cruise picture! The Loyal Crowd goes wild.

Quiet day at work. Quiet day at home. LRN12 didn’t sleep again last night and she didn’t nap today, so we’re hoping she’s exhausted enough tonight to sleep. Time will tell. It’s shortly after 9:00 right now, and she’s currently sleeping peacefully.

So there’s nothing to mention.

Other than today’s food violence news – chili sauce attack! Makes you want to wear goggles to the street fair, no?

See you tomorrow.

Here’s Ketchikan’s waterfront shanty town. In fact, this particular shanty town isn’t just a waterfront shanty town, it’s a waterborne shanty town. Don’t see too many of those around. As seen on these pages at least once before.

No posts after Monday last week. It was a tough week for me and I didn’t have the heart for it. It’s good to be back. Thanks to so many Loyal Readers who asked.

Fortunately, absolutely nothing happened in the past week. LRN12 is still with us, which is nice. She’s looking forward to getting back with her Dad, though.

Speaking of LRN6, he got a new job today! He’s with Frito-Lay, starting in a week or two. I’m not sure exactly what he’ll be doing, but I think it involves loading outgoing trucks chock-full of chips and dips. I wonder if he’ll get an employee discount. Could save a lot of money. Good luck on the new job, LRN6!

Work continues to go reasonably well. There’s lots to do and we’re struggling a little to get our next release done. But it’ll get there. Eventually.

LRN1’s missionary papers are in (we hope) and we expect him to receive a mission call either this Wednesday or the Wednesday of next week. We’re starting to feel a little anxious to know where he’ll be going. I imagine he’s a bit curious too.

Even though the blog has been on hiatus, that doesn’t mean I’ve been ignoring the food violence and toilet news of the world. Oh, no indeed. In fact, I have received word of a horrifying outbreak of meatball crime. Let’s keep our forks to ourselves.

All’s well. See you tomorrow.

Here’s a rock full of seals in Ketchikan harbor. Kind of sloppy looking, if you ask me.

The Loyal Readers are nearly in full revolt over the alarming quantity of cruise-related Great Art lately. Fear not, Loyal Readers. I’m almost out. Then it’ll be back to the Same Old Thing. Maybe we’ll go on another cruise sometime, though.

The weekend was fine. Didn’t accomplish much of anything, except to unclog the holes on the pond’s pump, resulting in an amazing quantity of water flow and a striking increase in the clarity of said water. It was a Real Good Thing.

Otherwise, relaxed, went to meetings, visited the library, and . . . umm . . . relaxed. Also signed time cards.

I’ll leave my Loyal Readers with some very rare Wedding Violence news: Preachers, keep those chapel doors locked.

See you tomorrow.

Here’s LRN4 on the dock in . . . umm . . . Ketchikan, I think. Probably. My Loyal Readers may well be delighted to learn that I’m just about out of Alaskan Great Art. It’s been a good long run, though. Then we’ll be back to campouts and such things. Or our next cruise. Who knows?

Fine day. We had a picnic luncheon for one of my recently-retired coworkers. Sunnyvale was cloudy and a little too cool right up until the very moment we started eating. The clouds suddenly evaporated and it got sunny and warm essentially immediately. It was great! As LRN1 mentioned via text message earlier today, perfect timing.

Otherwise normal. We were all home this evening, which was nice. Had a pleasant pizza dinner and did a little reading. Also double-checked time cards and performance self-appraisals. I had a few of the former to approve, which I did with minor changes. Lots of performance-appraisal-related work the next few weeks.

The weekend is refreshingly uncluttered. I should probably clean the pool filters and wash a car tomorrow, but that’s about all that’s on the plate. I’m sure something else will come up, though. Sunday’s looking to be pretty standard too, with the exception of a leadership meeting in the evening. No complaints, though.

We’re looking at a bunch of rain the first half of next week. Apparently, some Pacific typhoon is blowing through. We’re looking forward to it. But only for a couple of days, of course. No need to go overboard.

I’m going to go way outside my normal Blog Comfort Zone here and end with some previously unheard-of music violence: keep your harmonica to yourself.

See you on Monday.
