Getting Ready For Science Fair

Science fair is next Wednesday, along with the Cub Scouts Blue & Gold Dinner, and we hadn't gotten past pseudo-hypothesis phase on Jacob's and David's projects before yesterday. Got some done yesterday including actual numeric measurements with Jacob's projects. Maybe more details with photos later on that. Current plan is to go to Cub Scouts rather than the science fair a this point. But the displays will still be out.

But here is a picture of Zeke for now:



On other fronts, I actually wrote a bit more on my "California" book this week. At about 6000 words now. Not sure it'll ever be high quality or even done, but it provides an opportunity to discuss issues and ideas. I always have more ideas (for whatever) than time or commitment on such things. Other stories in my head, for future reference are (code named) "Cosmic Drama" (about a high school theatrical presentation gone very awry) and "Moonlighters" (about Latin American computer programmers in the US pretending to be a company in India). Anyway, mostly listing these for future reference. Not sure I'll ever do anything with any of them.

On yet other fronts, Kristine has been doing deeper cleaning of various aspects of the house. The idea of making things prepared for selling seems difficult enough to scare me a lot, but it's something that will need to be faced if we go back to school. And it's not terrible to do in any case. Kristine also painted the hallway several weeks ago. I'm better at focusing on day to day chores than the big things that need done.
