Last Sunday the kids sat down with us and watched a 60 Minutes segment on Van Gogh, followed (through a quirk of programming) by "Vincent and the Doctor", an episode of Doctor Who featuring a trip back in time to visit the great painter in the year of his death. It was a great one-two punch, and I was very proud of the kids for knowing the names of several of his paintings before they were said - apparently art class at STAA does more than just macaroni necklaces :)

2 Quarry Novels by Max Allan Collins
I finished reading both 'The First Quarry' and "Quarry' by Max Allan Collins. They're both hard boiled novels featuring a contract killer. As usual, Collins delivers. Grade for each: B+ 62 and 63

My Day
A good day at work, followed by a nice dinner with the kids, then played catch with LuLu in the alley before winding down for the night.
The Olympics
Every four years I claim not to be interested in the Olympics, and what do I do? I wind up watching hours of it a night. It's always the old standbys for me: gymnastics, swimming, volleyball. :)
