And I just told one of my students that he didn't need to describe his poops to me every time he had a bowel movement.

Yup, 3 years of it.

I suppose it's a lot cuter when it's your own child, but Welcome to Parenthood!

Frown: I misspelled the word "misspelled" today and quickly realized I rely too much on spellcheck.


Smile: I'm disabling spellcheck on my browser and on ms office for at least until June, and breaking out ol' Webster.

Hope some of you consider doing the same, and feel free to point out any of my misspellings.

Not to rain on your happiness, but slotted/drilled rotors seem to be a waste unless you're actually racing on a track a lot and need they to cool faster so you can race safely under heavy and constant braking. They'll make your brake pads wear faster as the edges of the slots will scrape material off the brake pads faster. That also means you'll be cleaning brake dust off your wheels more often.

Ticked - Work blew up this morning, just slammed
Smiled - Got an update on the new version of Ogre that I preordered last year:
Image

- Box size: 24 by 20 by 5.8 inches
- Box weight: 25.2 pounds
- Maps laid out: 31 square feet
- Maps laid out end-to-end: 13.8 feet long
- Counter sheets laid out unpunched: 29.9 square feet
- No. of counter sheets: 38
- No. of 2-D counters: 1,100
- No. of 3-D counters: 104
- Total no. of counters: 1,204

Image is missing a couple extra things I paid for, like more dice, traditional counters, and several copies of Ogre Pocket (which is how the game original came out back in the 70s). Yes it is super over the top, but it is awesome.

It's a bummer that OGRE still isn't out, but that looks like a quality product for sure.
