Parenting score

This week is a week where Ann is working while I don’t have school. Since when W&L is not in session is the only time that outside groups can book the theatres, this is not that unusual.

So what this effectively means is that I take a turn taking care of the kids and Ann takes a turn at the theatre. I get the hang of it ususally by the end of the week. There are always things I flub and things I get right.

Just to keep score here is what I have done right so far this week:

Washed and sorted all the laundry
Done the dishes
Made a foot long toy U-boat for Liam with my 3d printer
Gotten Arden to eat aspargus

What I have done wrong so far:

Ran out of fruit and all veggies for the kids lunches
Gotten into arguments with the kids over minor things

So all on all, I would say I am getting pretty good at this parenting thing. It only took me ten years.

The awe and beauty of space

One of the things that has drawn me to science fiction is my love outer space. The sheer scope and scale of the universe is real mind boggling. I have thought that lone ship traveling out into the solar system was like a stone skipping out into a lake. Hopping along from place to place and then it’s gone in the vastness.

Well I came across something that brought that same awe-inspiring feeling back to me:
