Fun with dishes

8 or 9 days worth of dirty dishes.


1 hour 5 minutes later :-)

Fun at the in-laws house

Frisky playing chess.

Some of the LEGO action that took place in the basement.

My bro-in-law trying out the new piano technique I taught him :-)

New Car

This is our new car: a 1999 Honda Civic LX

Gingerbread house

It's amazing how much two people can fight when building something as innocuous as a gingerbread house. Silly personality differences!

I'm planning to let people tear in and EAT the house at my Superbowl Party February 6th.

Some Christmas Pics

Car crash

On Saturday morning Lisa Rose and I were on our way to Goshen when our car hit a patch of ice, spun around, and crashed into a tree backwards at about 35 mph. We got a bit of whiplash, and the trunk of our car got smashed in all the way to the back window. We haven't heard yet if the car will be salvageable. If not, we'll be looking for a replacement--preferably a 2000 Corolla, or other similar car (small, efficient, with excellent ratings, in the $5-10 thousand range).

I'm not too upset or worried about anything that happened, or is happening as a result of this. People are amazingly nice and helpful when bad things like this happen :-) But I will be glad when we have our own car again--soon, I hope.
