Another week gone by. For some strange reason, the whole family is downstairs hanging out in the computer room. Brenda is playing with her new Ipod. Kevin is playing Runescape. Brad is strumming the guitar and attempting to sing now and again. I think the dog and one of the cats are around here someplace too.
We just read Ted's post on Wikpedia and liked his story of when Connor asked if 2 balloons filled with hydrogen and 1 filled with oxygen would it make water? What a question for a 7 year old. Thats amazing. Our kids have questions that are asked but they usually dont go so deep in the scientific areas. Most questions revolve around music, hockey or computers-or garbage if you are talking to Brenda. Perhaps some day when the kids get a bit older they will be discussing quantum physics at the breakfast table. Who knows what the future holds?
Busy weekend here at the Hils-McCrea-Alexander residence as usual. I am very excited as tomorrow my best friend Zolt is coming over and we are going to set the valves on the 396 cubic inch engine we have been installing over the past year. After the valves, we drop the distributor in, run the plug wires and start it up! It will be very loud as the exhaust is not hooked up but thats music to my ears!! Saturday evening we are going to my cousin Sandi's wedding. Open bar and since its my family-its my turn to drink!!!
Brenda is all ready to go back to school on Wenesday. She gets to take more chemistry!! It should be a bit easier this time as she is still in 'chemistry mode' and this time she will be in a class instead of distance ed. This is her second step towards her Evironmental Sciences Certificate. I'm starting a course in 2 weeks as well-not as exciting as Evironmental Chem but fun all the same. I get to study Employment Standards and Human Rights Law. A bit dry but very relavent to my job. This course takes me a step closer to my Ontario Management Development Certificate.
Thats about all thats new now. I'm going to try an figure out this Filezilla program Doug got me to download :)

Comment for Doug....Thanks for the DVD player! It works great :)
Paul - record some audio of that engine!
Glad that worked out for you. Let me know if there's any music or other software that you're interested in and I'll upload it for you.
Hi Guys. Thanks again for dinner on Sunday evening and the birthday cake. It's great to be home again and getting back into a routine. Cleaning up the last of the Xmas packing and travel stuff today.
Good luck to both of you on your courses. Brad, zero in on that math. Remember, there's only 5 more months with that teacher. You can do it. Best to all of you.
