A full day at Space Center Houston, and we had a great time. Even took some photos that will end up in the Pixelog. I called Chelsey before we left the house to see if she wanted to join us, but she had other commitments. Her son didn’t though. He is almost 12, Jason is almost 10. I told her I would pick up Jordan & bring him along. She gave me full rights to beat him if necessary, so what more did I need? Ok, ok, I didn’t beat him. Actually, things went really well, much better then I could have hoped for! Nothing like Grossology (the *impolite* science of the human body) to entertain 2 pre-pubescent boys. That and the hour-long movie on life in the Space Station produced by the Discovery channel that I dragged them to. They were upset that they couldn’t play longer with the Fart-maker. Oh well. After we left the museum we headed back to Chelsey’s house for dinner. She had whipped up some tasty chicken fajitas for us. Then we zoomed home so that Jason could get to bed so he wasn’t grumpy at school tomorrow. By the time the fun was over I have the beginnings of a migraine. I took stuff for it, but it’s only been an hour. I take Excedrin for them, it works great normally and is all I need. Plus I bought a bottle of 875 the last time I went to Costco, so I have a lifetime supply. If necessary, I take Motrin 2 hours after I took the Excedrin. Perfect every time…
Earlier tonight, Doug said to Chelsey (both non-bloggers, the losers!) that I was just a “Power User”. Then I started babbling about Blogomania, DNS, Unix, Linux, Apache … and somewhere in there he said he was wrong and I was a geek after all. I just hide it well.
I wrote to Robyn about some other info and about fell off the couch laughing when she wrote me back and pointed out this post on Chris Pirillo’s blog. Irony? Yesterday, while Jason & I watched the Friday episode of Call for Help, I went to the TechTV site and showed him that my blog was listed right there. As a 9 year old geek-in-training, he was amazed and thrilled. (The TechTV article was another part of the conversation that prompted Doug to confirm I was a geek after all.) By the way, Chris? I actually OWN Styx albums. Vinyl. Too bad I don’t have a turntable anymore!
