1. Do we all agree that Instant Messenger is the tool of the devil? Everything that has ever gone wrong with a computer at home or at the office can be traced back to the evil AOL. For several days our home computer would boot up, open up AIM, and then everything else on the screen would go blank. Like AIM was the cockroach that survived the Windows armageddon. After trying several other things I finally removed AIM from the system, and now it seems to be working normally.
I'm eternally amused by Instant Messenger anyway, because Kate leaves away messages that say "homework then shower then bed then school tomorrow."
Whoa. I would never have been able to hazard a guess as to what my teenage friend's weeknight schedule might be. Thank God for Instant Messenger. Now I know where to find her.
2. How hard is it to learn to drive? How hard do you think it would be to learn in a minivan, with 4 other family members riding along? What about if you threw in an autistic kid who would provide running commentary:
"We stopped! You want me to tell you why we stopped? Why is Kate going back up into the driveway? We stopped again! Kate is NOT driving! You want me to tell you what they are doing? Now daddy is driving! They switched! You want me to tell you why they switched?"
3. Bill and I have a new favorite bible quote. (I guess really this is probably our first favorite bible quote.) From Proverbs:
"How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple?"
This has many potential applications.

You CRACK ME UP! Thanks for several good laughs.
IM makes me feel old as dirt. The college students and young professionals I work with live by it. I'd use it, but I'd have no one to talk to as people of my generation just don't seem to go in for that sort of thing.
Mamaroo said....I tried to comment yesterday, but I guess I need to upgrade and get a google account. No time now, so I will try anonymous.
I IM my husband at work all the time. When my teenage niece and nephew were here over the summer they added themselves to my buddy list. They laugh at me because I have no idea what they are saying with their AIM shorthand.
That is so funny how Henry was talking while Kate was learning to drive. I love when you write how he talks. It's so cute!
Wendy said....I tried to comment too but it didn't take. Weird. Anyway, I wrote before - Poor Kate! To be so nervous about learning how to drive and then to have play-by-play commentary from the backseat...poor girl! But also hilarious. It must have been hard not to crack a smile at Henry - what a cutie!
I have been known to use Skype a bit...... I WILL respond to your email, things have been too crazy! (that is my "away" message)
