I like the gateway discovery museum.

Today is St Patrick's day, aka free admission day. Thanks Emily.

I like the wind tunnel exhibit. Trajen liked everything.

American Idol

I can't stand American Idol. I never have been able to stomach that show, so it isn't surprising I am in the back room while all the others watch "Idol". Unfortunately I'm not far enough away from the TV to avoid hearing the contestants butchering "Rolling Stones" songs.


Oh well, at least I get good pizza out of the deal.

On a brighter note. We took Trajen to the park for the first time this year. He had a lot of fun.

New addiction

I have a new addiction, I have found that I enjoy building terrain for RPG miniatures. This is an outgrowth of my obsession with role playing games in general. Think of terrain as a playing board for Role playing games.

Two Sundays ago My Mother in law opened up a new DVD player. I took the Styrofoam packaging. A couple of days later the Styrofoam looked like it could be made into a bridge. I spent the next couple of days carving the foam cutting it so it looked like it was made from field stones. Some painting later and I think it looks pretty good. I have yet to completely finish so I have no pictures at this time.

I would like to build more terrain items out of foam. Eventually I would like to have reusable modular rooms and hallways that can be used to construct "Dungeons."
