Yip ya hi,
Bruce here. There's a surprise eh :) Beaut of a fall day here. Did my
yearly window washing today. All visitors were warned of the invisible
windows, lest they accidently walk trough them. So naturally, all of Zack's
friends try to walk through them. They were the cleanest windows in town
for about 5 minutes. Now they have a bunch of nose prints on them.
Zack and friends just got back from taking his senior photo. At his arts
school, they have a more liberal view on senior photos. The kids can do
whatever they want, as long as it includes a photo of them. So Z polished
up the white card to a ultra-white sunglasses required shine, and parked it
on the grass by the church down the street. Then he filled up the van with
the 1.2 million empty stereo boxes from past car audio projects (the ones
that line our garage walls with pride), drove it down there and unloaded
them by the car. So his photo will be of the 3 things that he currently is
most passionate about: Cars, Stereos, and his Girlfriend.
Nick has resisted getting a Senior photo taken, as he thinks we can do a
good enough one with our camera. If we don't get a good enough one, we have
a backup photo Dad took summer before last (thanks Dad!). Would probably be
the only senior photo taken of a Sophomore :)
Work at IBM should be returning to a more normal pace. We have finished
with 3 of the most difficult chips, so only have 4 less difficult ones left
to go. My fellow workers are finally relieved to be taking a weekend off
this weekend, and I'm only worked 4 hours from home today, with fewer
planned for tomorrow.
Zack applied for a job at Best Buy a few weeks ago and got called into for
interview last week. We printed out pictures of some of his work and they
guy was impressed, so he will likely get a job there! Should know in a week
or 2.
Nick rode up with Janet and Rachel Munger yesterday to visit the U of M
campus up in the twin cities. Clark would have gone also, but he is
visiting China with father Tom. He said it was 'big'. Much shoe plastic
lost to the university sidewalks. He also submitted his first college
application a few days ago to a smaller U of M campus at Morris Minnesota.
Nick also went up to a banquet up in the cities with Laurie this week, to
honor writers and artists. He and Zack also road up with her to a friend's
sheep farm and helped her move back a free desk to her apartment. The 2
strapping young lads man-handled that desk all on their own, with no help
needed from their wimpy old parents.
I bought a DVD recorder last week, so am dumping all 30+ of our 2 hour 8 mm
tapes to the computer. The tricky part will be to somehow clipping out just
the good clips. When we let the computer auto-clip it, it sometimes gets
1/2 a good clip, which is almost as bad as the bad clips it gets, since it
leaves you hanging wanting to see the last 1/2 of the good clip!
