Added Friday at lunchtime

I was even gushing about my bike to eleven year old's teacher this morning. I just need to get insurance, go over with a fine tooth comb, and I'm back on the road. Seeing as I got my economic stimulus money, there's no barrier to insurance, so next week I should be riding.

Other than that, not too much happened this week, though I have started the garden up.

The weekend was good, there was another night of babysitting, this time I didn't stay to chaperone, instead Mrs. Ha and I went out to dinner to celebrate her new job, at Hogan's Hideaway. The food was good, Mrs. Ha had French Onion soup, I had a spearfish salad, but I forgot how loud it is there. It wasn't very intimate and relaxing, and we were nearly the oldest couple there.

This weekend's movie was The Life Aquatic. It was almost a funny movie, there were times when I was close to laughing. Definitely the weakest Wes Anderson movie I've seen.

In other media news, I just finished The Guns of August, the story of the first month of World War 1. I don't know a lot about World war 1, besides trenches, the Red Baron and Snoopy, so it was a good read, it deserves it's status as a classic.

It's looking to be a busy weekend. Eleven year old has a class trip on Monday, so we need to get her packed, supplies bought, and the tent packaged. We'll probably go to Buffalo to see the mother in law on Saturday. and six year old was told she has enough money to buy a DS cartridge, so she wants to hit the Toy Store. Plus bike work, cleaning the house, gardening, babysitting tonight, busy, busy busy.
