First off, I want to direct you all over to VK’s Electric Venom as she and her family have been dealing with some tough family issues that those of us who are parents of aging baby-boomers are all going to face eventually. I pray that as many as possible are able to learn from her grace inspired posts during this difficult time. Kate, know I’m thinking of you and praying for you and yours!

Secondly, I have a new picture of myself over there in the sidebar. I suppose the diet is still working as it shows more weight loss than the previous one and also the haircut that I got on my birthday. My hair was previously all one length again and rapidly reach waist length again. It’s thick and heavy. It had to go. You’ll also notice a new Skype button below it. Please take notice of the fact that it shows my status. If it says that I’m away, I really truly am NOT at my computer. If it says that I’m busy, I really truly am too busy to futz around taking calls from Skype just the same as in meat space, I would be letting voice mail answer it but I don’t pay for Skype Out so don’t expect an answer if you message me or call me at those times.

Lastly, since getting involved in the YouTube Transfromer community with Boy #2, I had a handful of requests for a video tour of our home which our mutual friends came to dub “The House of Darkness” as when Boy #2 does a video he does so in very low lighting. If you’re curious as to how 6 people can efficiantly and effectively live in a 2 bedroom townhouse you can watch the video below. Just take note that while I was very frustrated with Boy #2 and his shoving Frenzy in front of the camera every few minutes by the end of the shoot, he did not come to any physical harm. I’ll just be glad when whatever it is that happens to boys when they turn 15 is over. I’m bracing myself for the long haul, though. I’ve been told it lasts for at least 5 years. I do know this, the year of mental torture he put me through while homeschooling him so he could advance a year in public school paid off big time. Between his grade placement test and his California Achievement Test scores he is now a HS Freshman instead of an 8th grader and his HS operates in a 4 class per semester block schedule (3 academecis, 1 elective) and his three academic placements were all honors classes. He’s loving every minute of it. Any who, here’s the video. I shall post more when time and life allow.
