Valentine's, The Force, and other trivia...

It's been a while since the last update, so here goes. It has been pretty busy around the A house. All good stuff, but busy. Of course, the month of February brings Valentine's day, so I got the girls my standard Bunch-O-flowers, which they still seem to like, even after all these years. Since Markie was up to visit (ain't they CUTE!), I figured that Cass would be getting the BIG FLOWERS from Mark, so I was careful to get her the cheesy-bouquet(tm) so as not upstage the boyfriend. Gotta be careful about these things, you know. Cassie returned the gift to Mark by giving him a nasty virus, that he still has not fully recovered from. I'm not entirely sure what came over Mrs A. but she decided to get me a gift for Valentine's day this year. That is not to imply that she is cheap or anything, but we don't typically do big Valentine gifts. Whatever the reason, she appeared out of nowhere with a wrapped box that turned out to contain a new digital camera. YIKES! Needless to say, there has been lots of photos shot around here lately. Last Thursday, I skipped out of work, and we went to see the Star Wars special exibit at the Boston Museum of Science. It was actually a very good exibit, lots to see and some really cool stuff to do. Ever the engineer, Mrs A could not help but scrutinize this balancing robot, and ride the hovercraft. Ray-Ray spent a long time checking out this robotic vision dude that would seek out human faces, and trying to impress the Wookie. Chaz and Drew had a really good time and even made a few new friends, though I am a bit concerned about one of them, who sort of creeps me out for some reason. I'm afraid he may be a bad influence. As always, Drew found a turkey to hang out with. Ted was overwhelmed trying to take it all in, zipping from one thing to another. He is a strange kid, a "Natural Mystery" in his own right. All in all it was a really fun day. If there is anything you need to know, just ask this guy. The next day, the high winds managed to knock our power out for most of the afternoon. Mrs A was undeterred, and went about her business cooking dinner by the light of an oil lamp. Ever prepared for every situation, she tuned into the news of the world using her crank-powered AM/FM/SW radio. Teddy, who is unconcerned by such things, just did his puzzle by the woodstove. On Saturday, I caught this shot of Tess, airborne, during a hockey game. Been fun around here, as always. What incredibly forutnate people we are. |
