Write Every Day!

My younger brother (11th grade), participated in the FIRST Robotics Competition this weekend. He was part of a team of high school students that learned about teamwork, engineering, and community service. Today they won the championship title with two other teams. How can i describe this in a few words... Two alliances, comprised of three HS teams each, must use their robots to:       lap around the course       knock each other's track balls off a rack       hurdle their own track balls over the designated area       rest the track ball on the rack for extra points at the end of the round It's easier explained when you see it and i think there is a video on the link above somewhere. Working with this team seemed to inspire him to seek "a hobby for a career." maybe he was always planning to do it, but it never hurts to see the outcome of something you've worked on. positive re-enforcement all the way. i'm very proud of him. he's an intelligent individual,

Went out to Long Island to visit my sis, her boyfriend and my dad. We had a great time playing Wii Bowling and talking. Her friend Chris kept us all entertained with his colorful language and his willingness to learn something new! Heading home now, wishing the weekend was at least three days.

March 11th was supposed to bring the new volume of Fruits Basket, but I couldn't find it there. Lurking down the block, I went to the small japanese market on 41st between 5th and madison. Found

Peopo (pea · po) - the word my brother used for "people" when he was 2 years old. He used to sit on the floor and play with the Fisher Price Little People Garage set and talk about the peopo. Why do i mention this all of a sudden? CBS has a saturday morning program lineup called Kewlopolis. Yes, i still watch saturday morning programming! ^________^ One of the skits between shows is called tinpo™. These cute little four legged people run around trying to solve a problem in 30 seconds. Sometimes they take the hard way out... like cloning themselves to move a factory to line up with a truck with wheels. Here is Duxx... he's got hazard warnings all over! You'll just have to watch the movies for yourself. ^_^ The music and sound in the background remind me of videogame music and sound effects. That trianglewave we all know and love from Nintendo. I think i'll have to find the characters and collect them. One more thing sit on my shelf. But they're so C
