This morning while the kiddies were having their Cream of Wheat, I started up the car and backed it out of the garage a bit, to warm up. When I came in, Hanna was looking out the window. She saw the car exhaust and said "steam is coming out of the car". Ha.
We listened to Cinderella on the way over to Sue's house, and as a result Hanna started singing Bippidy Bobbidy Boo (or, as she says, Bi de-Bah dee-Boo) for all she was worth.
Kids had swimming lessons last night, and we stayed for open swimming after that. Of course, John enjoyed a long hot shower when we were done.
There is trouble in Ukraine. The election results are in dispute. The Kremlin-backed candidate claims to be ahead in the vote cound by 2 or 3 percent, but all manner of other indications, like exit polls, etc... indicate the reform candidate won. International observers say there are indications of fraud. Belmont Club (link on the right side) has a good summary today of events. Aside from the political implications, I am interested in what happens there as it impacts adoptions. Many people adopt from that country. Putin's Russia has done some rather ominous things lately. Hopefully adoptions won't end up being affected in Russia, either.
No big plans for us for Turkey Day. Actually, Ham Day for us. I wanted to have a nice smoked ham, instead of turkey.
Rather quiet around work today, natch.
And, just to wrap up our discussion of Gilligan's Island. Many of Emily Dickinson's poems can be sung to the tune of the Gilligan's Island theme. Here is an example.
