More Stuff
I took Friday off to assemble the swingset parts that I have been collecting since Granddad inspired me to actually start building the thing during his last visit.
I also demo'd the old swingset. A few tears were shed but not by me...
Those pictures, plus the obligatory kitchen update, are posted here.
If only the stove weren't blocking the drawers from opening.

Kitchen Update
For those die-hards (Hi Mom) who really wanted a kitchen update: I've updated the kitchen photos here.
Plumbing, electrical and dry-wall are now in and inspected. After things harden overnight, Piper and I can prime and paint.
On monday, the tile guy begins work.

Quote of the Day
Micah: "I can count up to 125..."
Me: "You can count further than that. What number comes after 125.
Micah: "130."
Me: "Never mind. 125 it is."

Kitchen Renovation
We are now on week 2 without a kitchen. What we have is a smoking hole in the middle of the house...

1 Thousand Words
I just developed 2 rolls of film and only got 1 photo of note. It was worth it anyway.

15 Minutes Later
We bought Tess a dog bed for her birthday to accompany the new dog which is, ostensibly, hers.
That present was opened less than an hour ago. 15 minutes later, Tess said that she would like a new dog bed for Christmas.
I'm wondering if they sell a kevlar model. Elvish chain would be even better.
Update 4 hours later: I think the upgrade will have to be crafted from dwarven plate mail. I'm confident this dog could tear through the elvish chain mail in under a day.
(Note to Phil: The astute viewer may note the presence of a very fine red oak bunk bed in the background...)

Micah's Christmas Gift
Some of you may secretly consider Micah's lego obsession to be a bit low-brow. Fortunately, the helpful folks at Amazon have a solution...
(Update, apparently there's more)
DISCLAIMER: Please note my humor before you think about ordering. Micah's actual tastes run more to spaceships than modernist architecture.

Chocolate Covered Bacon
We have just returned from the reddest, "red state" extravaganza that I have ever participated in. It made a NASCAR race look like a wine and cheese party hosted by the poetry club.
The Delaware Punkin Chunk (world championship) was pure epic awesomeness.
Truly, no other country (no sensible one, anyway) would devote such time, energy and engineering to throwing a pumpkin. No one else would tackle the hard problem of spending 25 years breeding a hardier pumpkin to survive the stress of being launched into the air by trebuchets, onagers, centripitals and air cannons. (solution: use white pumpkins and feed them lime).
I now assure you that I have seen pumpkins thrown over 4000 feet. I can say this with confidence since the helpful folks from the Guinness book of world records were on hand to verify the distance with differential GPS and laser range finders.
The guys from Mythbusters were also there but we didn't see them much to the disappointment of my kids.
Words fail me so I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Click on the photo below (I've also thrown in a few Halloween shots at the end).

Last Germany Bits
I finally fixed my camera last week (go gently with me, I ordered the parts ages ago). The photo below is a link to a few remaining Germany photos that were taken after our computer was shipped out.
