The Honeymoon is over
We've had a good run, but it was going too well to continue forever.
Our new house isn't as new as it used to be. The toilet is running when it isn't supposed to. I now have to remember how to fix things around the house, and run to OSH to buy the thingamajob I need. Luckily, I still remember how to curse.
Alas!

Quesadilla
EJP: I'm hungry. I want some breakfast.
What do you want?
EJP: Waffle ... or cereal ... or quesadilla.
You don't want a quesadilla.
EJP: I want a quesadilla.
No one eats quesadillas for breakfast.
EJP: Except me. Dad, I want a quesadilla for breakfast.
PostScript: EJP: Dad, I don't like quesadillas. Can I have cereal?

Google Rocks
I've got a Palm Treo 650 and it's pretty handy. Being able to access my contacts and calendar is invaluable, and being able to surf the web and play backgammon is nice.
Today, the device became a lot more useful for my job. Google release Google Maps for Treo which give you real time access to maps and driving directions and traffic and aerial photos. If you have a Palm (and a good data package with your phone provider), you need this. Check it out.

Sad Day
One of SKGP's classmates, Julio, was killed walking to school yesterday. He was walking across the street with his brother, and a pickup hit him. It happened at the same time I was driving her to school -- just a block away.

We're Back
We have returned from our cruise. Among the highlights were the rock wall and skating rink on the ship, and the careening through the treetops in Jamaica. It was also great to see some of my long lost family.
The lowlights mostly center around children not making the right choices.
Pictures and videos in a bit.
