The House is Quiet

Ten-thirty at night, and the house is eerily quiet. Normally, Cheryl would be down on the computer doing some spreadsheets or net browsing, or reading, but tonight she is in bed with a nasty cold or sinus infection or something.

She'll be trying to get a Doctor appointment tomorrow.

Meanwhile the kids had a blast putting dinner together tonight. Chicken nuggets and Wheat Thins! With peach slices thrown in for "color"! Oddly enough, I wasn't very hungry...

Then Adam and I went to the Science Class Open House at the Middle School where I got to meet his teacher and some of the other parents, and find out what he's going to be teaching this year. He apparently won the Michigan Science Teacher of the Year award last year, so he's supposed to be good at it. And his method sounds interesting: he's having the students learn Science by reviewing it from an historical standpoint, going over all the major discoveries in order, finding out who the major scientists were/are, and seeing how Science developed from its most humble beginnings.

Now the house is quiet, and I've pulled out my Engineering Circuit Analysis book to review the Fourier and Laplace Transform material (I'm working on an RF circuit design -- for fun!), and enjoying the sound of silence.

Tomorrow, it's back to the grind of solving customer problems for a few hours before heading off to the PromiseKeepers Conference (assuming Cheryl is feeling well enough to handle the kids), and that about takes care of the weekend!
