Japan Trip – Day 0
The girls were emotional at saying goodbye to Gazoo as we left. Nothing exciting happened on the way to out plane Rob got us some coffee at Starbucks; I guess we will probably not get good coffee for a while? The girls settled into the plane, but started getting bored as we were something like
Japan Trip, Day -1
The end of another day is here. Gazoo is feeling better, but still not back to herself. She played with Chloe, but didn’t ask to go outside at all. She’s getting around okay, though she’s not quite so eager to jump. As for preparations, I took care of a lot of my “chores”. Plus we
Kindle, Day Two
Yesterday (day 2) I decided to buy a couple of books that I had sampled the previous day. First, I couldn’t get the wireless to work (This seems to be the big downfall.) Then, I finally managed to click “Buy This book”. The Kindle told me it was working okay, but when I returned to
Japan Trip, Day -2
Here we are, preparing for our big trip. How? Me, tying up loose ends at work. Timesheets, weekly reports, and the actual work too. Rob, at the beach with the girls. Gazoo, well, see the earlier post. Honestly, I have done no more than to get the laundry done and to gather electronics that may
(gazoo.nLives)–
Early (well, maybe not SO early) this morning, the tree guys arrived to cut down one tree, and one trunk of another. Pine Lake, being so progressive, requires that homeowners get permission before removing trees, and we, being type A, of course, crossed the i’s and dotted the t’s. Well, it was done by email
Kindle, First Thoughts
Camille was so excited to see a package locker key in our mail yesterday … I had looked at the tracking and knew that it had arrived at the post office, so I wasn’t too surprised. When we took it out, it struck me that it was actually smaller than I had expected. The carrying
Success!
We have managed to search amazon from the kindle and download samples of two books. Moreover, the Kindle has a rudimentary browser, which we can use to surf the “PDA” web (you know, text only and all that). We haven’t yet chosen to buy a book, but can sense that will happen very, very soon.
It’s Hot
Too hot to think. And I have so much thinking that I need to do this week in order to finish up projects at work and to get us ready to go. Like yesterday, we realized that we need to buy Japan Rail passes while still in the US in order to get the substantial
Kindle Me Not
I’ve been debating for a month now whether to spend the money on this new piece of technology. Generally, I am not on the bleeding edge; I wait for the hoopla (and price) to come down before jumping on the bandwagon. Second-generation technology is good enough. But with our upcoming 2.5 week trip, I was
Taddy the Tadpole
Yesterday, I went out to look at the pond and notices that it was a quite active habitat. I crossed my fingers, hoping that what I saw in it was a colony of tadpoles. We have a frog that found our pond and talks to the frog next door, so it was a distinct possibility
