We just returned from Lima, where we attended Caleb’s preschool program. We had a great time, and we are proud of Caleb’s performance. This year there was no stage fright — perhaps a touch of “ham” in him, though. We also got to practice tee-ball and fly a kite and swim with Caleb and Owen.

Whole wheat penne pasta+kale, leeks, cannelini & garbanzo beans, fennel and raisins cooked in white wine and chicken stock = delicious dinner! We’ll be making this dish again!
After many (too many) attempts, I finally managed to get SketchUp working under openSuse linux — using the linux wine app (Windows program loader / translation layer). Now I can make my woodworking plans without booting Windows. I think I last had it running when I was using Ubuntu — and, perhaps, on a previous computer. It’s been a while.
PS — Almost as soon as I posted this, SketchUp stopped working. Argh! An update to wine appeared to defeat my fix. After some head scratching (and much cursing) I was again able to celebrate — quietly — at 2 AM.
Happy Easter!
I think this is interesting. We need a historic perspective to avoid being manipulated by today’s politicians and pundits.
As you can see, Spring has sprung here in NE Ohio. See the fluffy blooms on the pussy willow?
Spring?
Paska
Ma’s been busy!
I just finished putting down a new laminate floor in the patio room. The results are amazing, if I do say so myself. The project started yesterday AM finished this afternoon. Thanks to Bob Saraceno for spending yesterday afternoon guiding me through (make that doing) a repair on a water damaged portion of the original floor — an unexpected side project. The repair is now the strongest area of the floor. Also thanks to the manufacturer of the flooring (Uniboard Lock-’n-Seal sold at Sams Club). The materials were flawless, and the design took all the precision work out of the installation. Anyway, we’re very happy. Quarter rounds will be added to finish the edges — after my legs and knees recover.
