Running Minecraft on a Mac SE
Facebook Marketplace is filled with civilization's cream of the crop, including this guy Logan who was upset at my lack of a direct answer when he wanted to know if my 1980s Mac SE would run Minecraft. Dude.

Bears, Mountains, Swimming and Software
I startled a black bear, but made it to the top of the mountain, grilled some delicious meat, and swam a mile. K has a Minecraft play date with a girl from school. I'm going to write an app to track my lap swimming. And Claude's Fable shows up Codex's Astra.
Wow, These FORM Smart Goggles Are Bad
Counting laps in my head and using an imprecise analog clock on the wall to track my time isn't exactly optimal. I had hoped these smart goggles would be the answer. Instead, it's like swimming with narrow blinders on. Utterly unenjoyable.
Don't Wake a Five Year Old at 5am
"A" wants to go to the gym with me, but I get up at 5am. I'm just not willing to wake up the 5yo that early. "S" goes to the gym right after me though, so she took him along this morning for a workout of jumping, running, medicine balls and more.
Areas with Room for Improvement
"S" is going to church this evening to meet with the session and express some "areas with room for improvement." As relative new comers, we don't have an emotional attachment to the way things are. Some people are just opposed to changing anything. But some things need to change.
Smashing Up Our Car for Fun and Profit
The poor driver's side mirror got into a fight with the garage door. And lost. Meanwhile, the family is gone all day (after I taped the mirror back onto the car), so my work productivity skyrockets.
Lap Swimming, Surgery and Home Schooling
An all-day outing for surgery leaves me at home with the four older kids to get my work done while managing the home school...process. Impressively, there was no crying the entire time. H and I started the day with lap swimming.
Baby Back Ribs
Every Saturday we grill burgers, brats and chicken. The kids love it. Once a month, I smoke something instead. Ground beef was actually more expensive than baby back ribs, so I piled four racks of them onto the smoker today.
Swimming, Waterfalls, Cereal, Birthdays & Photography
"J" and I got some lap swimming in at 5:30am. "A" turned five years old. We visited a giant waterfall. I'm going to wean my kids off cereal. I got my wireless Sony camera sync app working. And we're smoking ribs tomorrow.
Home School PE Class
5am alarm again. 15 minutes later, I got K up. This is his first trip to the gym. We started with 20 minutes on the treadmills. I showed him some weights and machines he might like, but he instead gravitated to the stair-stepper, then the rower, and he finally found a home with a stationary bike.
