Last weekend was Old Settlers Reunion in Cissna Park, IL. Robin got to go on several different rides, but I think his favorite was the big slide. He also had his first blind date, he took her for a ride on the boats.
This morning I was walking over the the Siebel Center to pick up my morning dose of caffeine, just minding my own business, and then a sign jumps out at me:
Graduation Party Registration!
CS Class of 2007
Damn, nothing like feeling old all of a sudden.
But, pictures always cheer me up.
Robin is walking much more freely than he’s done before. There are several videos posted over on the albums. If you are on dialup, be content to look at the pictures, the videos are not small.
Robin is one year old today, the party was fun. Doctor’s appointment tomorrow afternoon so we’ll know just how much he weighs and how long he is. Pictures over at the albums. The car seat got turned around yesterday, now he gets to see where we’re going, sort of.
Consumer Reports has retracted it’s article and study that said almost all US spec car seats are junk. (Via Jalopnik)
Good to know that our Britax Marathon might actually have been worth the small fortune it cost, as long as we can use it for Robin until he’s, oh, 4’9″ or so.
So, it’s a little late, but there are lots of pictures like the one above, available in the December 2006 album.
It’s been quite some time since I’ve put anything up here, so this may end up being a rambling mess.
Hoopeston Area lost a good superintendent last Saturday to an apparent heart attack, Mr. Conolly will be missed.
At CITES, I’ve been working on an RFP for a solution to support our DNS infrastructure. The most I can do is to link to a similar effort being run by The University of Michigan. Hopefully ours will be on the street sometime in January, then I get to work on a committee to evaluate the proposals and maybe some evaluation equipment.
On consulting sites:
The holidays are coming up, I’m not sure what to get anyone, as usual. Hopefully the utilitarian gifts and gift certificates will work again this year. Now, if we can just make it home without borrowing a trailer to haul Robin’s gifts in.
And, as usual, I’m way behind on getting pictures of Robin posted. Maybe next week after we’re done driving all over the Illiana area…
As promised, movies of Robin crawling.
WARNING: If you are on dialup, be content to look at the pictures, the movies aren’t exactly small.
More photos are up: September 14, September 16 and September 28.
And, in other news, Robin is “army crawling” quite well, he made it from the living room to my office in about 5 minutes last night. Had the battery in the camera not been dead, I’d have video to show.
