On vacation in Iowa

This week is passing quickly. It's Friday already! And what have we accomplished?

Actually, I don't think we were supposed to accomplish anything. We're supposed to be on vacation. But it is difficult to avoid feelings of guilt for not getting something done. So I'm doing a bit of programming -- in Ada -- while we're out here. Working on an Ada training class, and need to remember some of the details which have escaped my memory after all those years.

Had a lovely storm last night. There were hints of tornadoes, but nothing came of it but some high winds and some rain. Saw on the weather report that there were some tornadoes down near the border of Kansas/Nebraska.

Took the boys to Mahlon's Tae Kwon Do class last night, and we were all quite impressed that Mahlon was selected to be the Demo Student for nearly all the moves. He's obviously been practicing a lot. He wants his cousins to attend again tonight, and the instructor said they could participate as well. That should be interesting.

The girls are having lots of fun, too, mostly playing Barbies with cousin Isabelle. And bugging their brothers when they can.

Mahlon Meyer said...

My name is Mahlon Meyer and I studied Tae kwon do when I was in junior high school and won some competitions. It's funny to find someone else with the same name and who is studying Taekwondo to boot. Such a coincidence!

So is Mahlon a family name in your family? In our family, it goes back a few generations. Sort of a different name these days.
