RTBTCKI Monday Morning Mix with some Sports tossed in there somewhere

[puppetmaker]

Today we return to our regularly scheduled programming with a few things added in to make it interesting. I have to do laundry because Peter is flying off at the early AM tomorrow and will be gone for the rest of the week. So that’s one of the things added today.

Next week there will be a lot of water cooler talk about the Super Bowl or about the Super Bowl ads depending on one’s interest. The first hype about a commercial is out with one with Matthew Broderick reprising Ferris Buller. All it made me want to do is see Ferris Buller’s Day Off at this point. Apparently it is a Honda commericial.

Two days left in January. I have two crafty projects I want to get done before Feb. 1st. So one today and one tomorrow I think. Then the rest of the month will be about Farpoint. With the exception of my time with friends down in Orlando which will be occurring right before Farpoint. Which reminds me, I may need to find a way from the Baltimore/Washington Airport to Farpoint. Any ideas anyone?

Caroline has a very busy Monday now. She has Chorus rehearsal right after school and then comes home, get into her Kung Fu uniform and straps on her yellow belt and she is off to Kung Fu. Then she gets home and eats dinner while I run off to bowling. Monday’s are busy around here. Caroline has some form of afterschool activity Monday through Thursday and now she wants to go to a pre-teen program at the YMCA on Friday since a number of her friends are going to it.

There is some adjustment to this computer. I am still sorting out the fingers and how many do what. I do like that I can have more than one desktop going at the same time. Caroline likes that the keys glow.

Getting Caroline ready for school. Again we have patterns that we follow. Right now we are up to the hair brushing part of the day to be followed by the shoes on and then getting dressed for the weather (She is going to need a hat today and gloves.) Back from the Bus Stop. Rather brisk this morning with wind from the southwest.

So I am going to finish up this ramble, post it, and get going on laundry and one of the two projects I need to get done today.

I am grateful for things that keep Caroline warm in the winter.

I think the first commercial for this year to get buzz was what's being billed as a prequel by Volkswagen, who did the little kid Darth Vader last year. A week or two back they put up http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ntDYjS0Y3w which is a bunch of dogs barking a Star Wars theme, with each dog supposed to be reminiscent of an original trilogy character (ranging from obvious [black lab with Vader chest circuits] to subtle [Leia bun ear style] to OK, if you say so...[the brown one that howls is supposed to be Obi-wan apparently]. Cute and nicely done, with some unexpected bits near and at the end. Not the actual commerical, which is apparently under wraps until Sunday.
