One and two liners

• The diversity of sizes in our plastic cup population is killing me. There isn't enough order in the cabinet to keep me sane.
• Jack is a killer kicker. He squares himself with the ball, takes between three and eight steps backwards, then concentrates, races forward, and nails it with his right foot.
• Jack's going to be right handed, almost positive.
• Terra wants an iTouch iPod; trying to convince her she wants something else, like a nice purse.
• Madeline's going back downstairs by herself again. Terra told her a vicious rumor about robbers and she wouldn't go downstairs for ever.
• I gave a presentation at the DOE Cyber Security Conference on "Federating a Wiki."
• The pool is freezing, I don't know how Terra and Madeline can stand it.
• While I was cleaning out our side garden, poison ivy attacked. I was miserable, spent like $50.00 on meds to try and fix it. Yesterday, I gleefully sprayed twice the strength necessary of Roundup on the plant. It's great to watch it wilt in demise.
• Jack loves his "Silly Christian Songs" video. I think his favorite song is "I'm in the Lord's Army."
• San Marcos whole jalapenos are a must with tacos at home. You can cut the jalapeno and let the juices drip on some chips, in addition to putting the pepper in the taco.
  
• Madeline and Terra are having a blast with frogs from the creek this summer. They've captured at least five and keep them in a five gallon paint bucket in the backyard, nourishing the creatures with crickets.
• Only a few of the frogs have passed on, there's only one in captivity presently.
• I did not like the new Star Trek movie, although I'm glad I was able to see it.
• Terra and Madeline both performed in their respective talent shows for the end of school. I could never have done that. Both danced.
• The backyard looks fantastic with all the grass. I removed two huge bushes in March and it's really opened things up.
• I'm trying to break Jack from the habit of throwing his plate filled with food when he's finished with a meal. He looks very seriously at me when I scold him, "OK, I won't do it again," but he never wants to remember.
