Caleb on Stage

Posted on April 27th, 2009 by Pa

We just returned from Lima, where we attended Caleb’s preschool program. We had a great time, and we are proud of Caleb’s performance. This year there was no stage fright — perhaps a touch of “ham” in him, though. We also got to practice tee-ball and fly a kite and swim with Caleb and Owen.

Whole wheat penne pasta+kale, leeks, cannelini & garbanzo beans, fennel and raisins cooked in white wine and chicken stock = delicious dinner!  We’ll be making this dish again!

Victorious!

After many (too many) attempts, I finally managed to get SketchUp working under openSuse linux — using the linux wine app (Windows program loader / translation layer).   Now I can make my woodworking plans without booting Windows.  I think I last had it running when I was using Ubuntu — and, perhaps, on a previous computer.   It’s been a while.

SketchUp in OpenSuse

PS — Almost as soon as I posted this, SketchUp stopped working. Argh! An update to wine appeared to defeat my fix. After some head scratching (and much cursing) I was again able to celebrate — quietly — at 2 AM.
