Kristin & Alison's Trip
to Florida |
|
|
 My
regular readers will recall that I took a rather long vacation
in Amsterdam last spring. Kristin
& Alison joined me for a portion
of my time in Holland, but nevertheless they've been deserving
(and lately, really needing) some extra time off, so this week,
they got it. They took a train to Florida, while I stayed home
to work.
I had a fine week. With the house all to myself (well, except
for various employees), I dug in and made major progress on several
of my current secret projects. (Of course, since they're secret
projects, I can't say much about them.)

 Kristin
& Alison,
of course, had an even better week. They went to visit Russell
and Shelly
and they spent the whole time just relaxing, and doing creative
craft projects entirely for fun. Alison caught the mobile-building
bug that Russell is infected with, and she returned with a couple
of wonderful mobiles she built while in Tampa (and plans for
many others). Kristin also made a mobile (shown here), plus she
worked on developing her drawing skills by starting the exercises
in Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain.
And speaking of drawings, check out this wonderful portrait
Alison did of the bears playing Fluxx
on the train:

Since they didn't have their
photographer with them and had forgotten to borrow a camera
for the trip (the photo above was taken by Russell), when they
found themselves wanting to take a photo of this scene, Alison
decided to capture it with pencil instead of film.

Have a Great Week! And Don't Forget to Shop!

"According to a notarized affidavit signed
by Clint Curtis, while he was employed by the NASA Kennedy Space
Center contractor, Yang Enterprises, Inc., during 2000, Florida
Republican Representative Tom Feeney solicited him to write a
program to 'control the vote.' At the time, Curtis was of the
opinion that the program was to be used for preventing fraud
in the 2002 election in Palm Beach County, Florida. His mind
was changed, however, when the true intentions of Feeney became
clear: the computer program was going to be used to suppress
the Democratic vote in counties with large Democratic registrations." -- Wayne Madsen's Special Report: "Texas
to Florida: White House-linked clandestine operation paid for
'vote switching' software" |

"Your message seems to be that you want
allies to share in the dangers and costs of your policies while
having no voice in them. The Middle East must be made to accept
secular democracy even as you secure your presidency by embracing
the religious right. You seek to enforce nuclear non-proliferation
everywhere except in the U.S. where you are developing the next
generation of nuclear weapons and exhorting a missile defense
shield; actions that in the past provoked the arms race. The
tragedy of 3,000 civilian deaths is reason enough to start a
war, but the tragedy of 100,000 civilian deaths is not reason
enough to stop." -- a message to President
Bush from the editors of the Toronto Star, seen quoted
in "Bush's
Embarrassing Canadian Visit" |

Congratulations to Joseph Kisenwether, designer
of Undercut,
which took first place in the 2nd
Ice Games Design Contest which I was talking about last
week. Undercut is a very cool game, and I agree, it was the
best of the bunch. Give it a try sometime! |
