on many fronts

Many things have been happening lately on a lot of different facets.  Brittany is recovering from what we suspect to be the dreaded H1N1 (fever, cold-like symptoms, body-aches, and lethargy).  I made sure she kept properly hydrated and kept her Kleenex® box full.  She was a tough trooper, and we stuck faithfully by her side (and by we, I mean myself and her SpongeBob™ thermometer).  After approximately 6 days, we’re confident she is finally back to normal.

Halloween happened and was a lot of fun.  Crownhart is always the kid-friendly decorations so we decided to decorate as, “Its the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!”

This turned out to be received relatively well by the community guests.  Some people were confused at my costume as The Dude from The Big Lebowski.  Don’t worry, it was a candy stick (and I didn’t have it in front of the kids).

Brittany wasn’t able to work on Friday (sick, see above) and was quite disappointed she couldn’t wear the springy-head-band-thing that Melinda had gotten her to work.  In a last-minute decision, Brenda had gotten her the purple wig and some giant silver eyelashes to wear.

Isaac has announced officially that the proverbial wheels are in motion for his transfer to UW Superior.  See the above link for details on his end.  He will be well-received among his friends here.

On the virtual front, I’d like to introduce you to the personal musings of Kyle Saunders at http://kylejsaunders.com.  He has been working hard on getting this up, please check back often for updates.

In addition to the release of Kyle’s site, Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala has been released on October 29th.  I currently use the Desktop version on my Dell XPS laptop, and the Netbook Remix on my Asus EEE 1000.

Details on Karmic Koala may be covered on a later post, but I’m really enjoying it.  As you can see, Isaac is enjoying it also.

Keepin it classy,
