Home dentistry

Remember when home dentistry was tying a string out of the bed post and yanking your head back to do an extraction! Truth be told I don’t remember, but we had a visiting dentist this am at my in laws.

Here’s Lou under the light getting a cleaning. It’s a cool set up, dentist in a suit case, just add power.

Pumpkin Picking

It’s that time of year again. Of all the holiday I like this one the best. Not that its really a holiday and but we got married on Halloween, and its a nice time of the year. Truth be told we picked a few date for our wedding and just ended up on October 31th.

Hopefully the weather will be better this year. Last year we trick-r-treated in Cambridge as we lost power for a week and stayed in a hotel in Cambridge.

Every year we go pumpkin picking at a local farm. We do a hay (really straw) ride and wander around looking for a few good ones.

Vanity Plate

This is an interesting one. Note the “dot” between the second and third zero. This is clearly not a low number plate, but certainly worth a blog. Plate captured by Jess. Thanks!

Kids Day at work

I brought GMan to Kids Day at work last Monday. In the morning he did an activity with a bunch of other 4th graders that involved a story board. This is a typical way of developing and refining a piece of software.

The words that made up the story board were Whale and Wizard. The kids took the words, made up a story, refined it and drew out the results. Below us a snap shot of what they came up with.

After lunch GMan played video games on a $10k PC I’m testing. It was the fastest processor Angry Birds was ever on! Zoom zoom!!
