right now and very busy so posts are going to be erratic or nonexistent for a little while here.  I spent yesterday chasing down a UPS package from at&t that had gone sideways in the system because it was sent to the new house and there was no one there to accept it and they noticed the apartment was empty.  I finally managed to locate it at the UPS Hub in San Ramon and used that as an excuse to go to Papa Murphy's in San Ramon last night and bring home some take-and-bake Gourmet Vegetarian Pizza, yum :-)

Tomorrow is Serenity's 9th birthday!  I can't believe it, time is just flying by so incredibly fast.  She was just 5 when she arrived here to stay with me.  I thank God every day for her and Lora being here, it's just the greatest thing ever as far as I'm concerned.  Woo Hoo!  God is good :-D !  Due to the move going on we are just going to have a small gathering of some of her friends, nothing fancy at all.  I'll post pictures to the family blog site after, maybe before we actually move I'll get a second to do that.

Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...

Viva California! USA out of California Now!

Gene Veith points to a Russian who predicts the breakup the American Empire. Gene is somehow unaware of the dozens of secessionist movements in various states. Granted they are almost all small but still, they exist and this could be a good time for us. Those who know me already understand that I'm a California Nationalist who I doesn't think California should have joined those united States in the first place. Being a part of that empire just costs us money, we get nothing in return. These days we get to be hated by foreigners for being Americans and mocked by Americans for being Californians. Getting us out of the US yesterday would be a day too late as far as I'm concerned.

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome
