Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Yesterday I went over to the U to talk more with an astronomy prof and his grad student about a project I might do with them for my main project for the masters program. They showed me a program they have now, and we talked about how to improve it, maybe add to it, etc... Sounds like fun. It would involve a fair amount of work with graphics, something I've not done a lot of, especially in Java, so it would be a good learning opportunity. I've already been doing some thinking about how I might organize the project, and the process I might follow.

Then, in the evening I meet with my group from class to do some assignments. We met down in Richfield at a coffee shop at 66th and Lyndale, so I just stayed down in Mpls, rather than go all the way home and then back. I had dinner at Christos. Mmmmm, I had one of my favorites, a combo plate with Mousaka, koupepia, and spanakopita. A good Greek salad, too.

So, I didn't get home till after the kids were already asleep.

I've read the David and Goliath story to the kids so many times, that John practically has it memorized. He'll "read" it by himself. Hanna will "read" it too, she kinda adds her own special flair to it. Ha. She likes to sit and "read" the 101 Dalmations story, too. That's cute.
