happy easter

The equation to figure out when Easter will fall is:

((19*t+u-w-(u-(u+8) \25)+1)\3)+15)mod30) +(32+2*x+2*y-(19*t+ u-w-(u-(u+8)\25)+1)\3)+15) mod30)-z) mod7)- 7*(t+11* (19*t+u- w(u- (u+8)\25)+1)\3)+15) mod30)+22*(32+2*x+2*y- (19*t +u-w-(u- (u+8)\25)+1)\3) +15)mod30)-g)mod7) +114)\31 = /`\ /`\

Well, at least that's what I read somewhere ... doesn't make sense to me. I know some of my friends are finding some significance in the idea that this will be the earliest Easter of our lifetime. Not me.

Just plain Happy Easter.

Hope

Here is Isaiah's latest composition Hope.

angela's fort

We got 13.5 inches of snow this weekend. What's more amazing is this fort Angela built - all by herself.

Cool - I am now president of the Mason Fields Home Owner Association. I guess I just didn't have enough going on.

Angela is getting ready for her birthday party. She loves the colors of the Jones sodas ...

really bored

Ok - now I'm really bored. This is what happens to me when a 15 minute job at the repair shop turns into hours ... it's just a piece of tubing for crying out loud! Argh ....

waiting

I'm hanging out at the Chevy dealer waiting for some work on my car (found a hole in the windshield wiper fluid tubing). I got a little board and this post is the result.

christmas concert

Mason High School Honors Band had their Christmas Concert tonight. The boy on piano was great!

gingerbread men

Barb and Angela spent last Friday baking. They made all kinds of goodies ... I liked the cookies.



The cooking was for our busy Saturday. In the morning we went to "The Outlet" ... a drop-in center for homeless people. We go down there about once a month to hang out with homeless folks. Typically we shoot some pool, play some ping-pong, get involved in a card game or board game, but mostly just hang-out in an attempt to build relationships. Yesterday we had a special "Christmas theme" where we had some holiday snacks, drinks, displayed some of the artwork created by the homeless guys over the past few weeks, etc..

Then in the evening we went to our Solomon center for a Christmas shopping program we had. There kids from the low income housing area we serve came to pick up to two gifts for parents or grand-parents. In addition to letting them pick out the gifts we also helped them wrap them and gave treats, drinks, etc..

muffins

Barb is helping me get more fiber in my diet. She made me these great muffins but didn't think it mattered if she mixed the raisins in or just threw them on top. I think it matters.
