It's just us

Summer time is here

06.30.04

Now that the weather is warm and the skies are clear, it’s time for us to tire Kamalani out in her swimming pool. She totally loves swimming. The MWR had tickets for free admission to Tokyo Summerland so hubby took Kamalani and Megs there on Saturday. I had him pack along the camera so he could take some pictures of their day out. I’m not a photographer by any stretch of the imagination but the pictures he took weren’t very good. But at least they’re IN the picture somewhere behind the blur. Heh.

When Megs was little, we always warmed the water before she got into her little backyard swimming pool. There were a few times my brother ran the water hose from the heater, through my hallway, livingroom and out the back sliding door to fill her pool with hot water so she’d be comfortable. I know, it’s a bit much but she’s our only daughter and she’s also the first niece/grand daughter after 7 boys. Can we say spoiled? Anyways, I have this thing about warming the pool water before Kamalani goes swimming in her pool but she didn’t want to wait for the water to warm up. She really does prefer cold water. I suppose the reason behind that is when she was little, I’d give her a very warm bath in the deep kitchen sink. The water was so relaxing that it knocked her right out. I think she remembers that relaxed feeling whenever she’s in warm water.

Tupac’s Erection

06.28.04

A few days ago hubby was rummaging through our DVD library in search of an action-drama to watch again. His eyes caught sight of a DVD case that he hadn’t seen before. In true-to-self style, Megs left it sitting on top of the stereo rack stand so hubby picked it up to read the title. Out of nowhere, Kamalani shouted, “Papa, that’s Tupac’s Erection”. We giggled because she couldn’t say Tupac’s “Resurrection”. I love what kids say. ;)

MSN has upped the ante

06.26.04

In a recent press release, MSN announces comprehensive Worldwide upgrade to MSN Hotmail. MSN will not only increase mail storage on their free email accounts from 2 mb to 250 mb and increase the ability to send attachments to 10 mb, all incoming and outgoing mail will be scanned and cleaned for viruses and worms. They’ve also announced that each account will include MSN calendar for free.

I wonder how long before the GMail Team and Yahoo Mail rise to the challenge and scan all incoming and outgoing messages for viruses and worms. Decisions, decisions … What on earth will I do with all this storage anyway?

Here Comes The Judge - Literally

Have you ever wondered why judges use those loose-fitting black robes when they preside over cases? Well, the folks at thesmokinggun.com reveals the little secrets that lay beneath the “bench” in this article. I won’t be able to watch Court T.V. live hearings in the same way ever again.
