lobsters invade Boston

my daughters in Boston
is this the loyal order of... er... lobsters?

When my daughters first emailed me this picture, I thought they had joined some sort of group, complete with silly hats, secret passwords and blood oaths. I knew they were at the Association for Psychological Science’s Conference in Boston, so I rest assured that the conference hadn’t changed that much!

The purpose of the hats, I assume, is a desire to partake of Boston’s very famous seafood. Unfortunately, the seafood restaurant famous for decades on the waterfront , “Jimmy’s”,  is gone to demolition. However, there are several alternatives that they might enjoy and here’s one:

Have fun, ladies!

finding interesting applications for the iPad

fun with iPads applications and painting redwood furniture
working on adding iPad applications and painting redwood furniture

One of the fun things we have been doing recently is adding some of the fun applications available for free or with a slight cost via itunes. Certainly, I had to add a couple of Laura’s favorites: tetris and soduku along with the usually presentation, word, graphic and spreadsheet software. This isn’t supposed to be a replacement for a lap top or a phone ( although it will do Skype), but it will certainly do almost everything else!

I wanted to find a background graphic that would be pleasant for Laura and I to see and one of my favorite is of 3 of my four girls up on the Parthenon overlooking the city in Athens.

Karen, Kristin and Laura in Athens!

Oh yes, I had to paint my new redwood bench. The table in the foreground  in the foreground was made 24 years ago with 2×12 redwood and has lasted wonderfully… so I have hope for the second one as well.

Have a fun day,
