Well for those of you who don’t know, I am heading on a cruise with my sister in March. Now on a cruise, you just can’t go to dinners wearing just anything. In fact there are even two formal nights where formal dresses are a must for the ladies and suits or tuxes are required of the men. Luckily for me, I’ve worn the same dress size for a while, so I have many choices–too many in fact, so help me “choose what to wear.”:http://www.kyleandkelly.com/geekyfreak/dresskelly/
This will give me a far better idea of what looks best on me.

My parents (Mom and Dad A.) were up for a skiing trip this Valentine’s Day weekend. Plan A called for Kelly, myself, her mom (Mom J.), three of her cousins, Mom and Dad A. and Calvin Janes (one of my old college roomies and proprietor of “siteslumber.com”:http://www.siteslumber.com/) to hit the slopes at “Crystal Mountain”:http://www.ridecrystalmountain.com. Upon arrival, we found out that they were out of ski boots in sizes 9, 10, 11, and 12, due to the holiday weekend rush. Kelly, Mom J. and cousins all had their own equipment, or needed sizes that were still in stock, so they were able to enjoy the best skiing south of Traverse City. Mom and Dad A., myself and Calvin had to resort to Plan B.

Plan B was a short trip south to “Caberfae Peaks”:http://www.caberfaepeaks.com/, which was still a well-regarded ski area. Somewhere in the ensuing travel, we had a “discussion on the Jetsons”:http://www.kyleandkelly.com/scribbles/geek_stuff/jetsons_ho/.

We hit the bunny hill for Calvin’s first attempt at skiing, and our first attempt at teaching someone new how to ski. After a few runs on the bunny hill, he was ready for the beginner slopes and the art of entering and exiting a ski lift. By the end of the day, he was being heavily recruited by several Olympic ski teams. Well, OK, he could make it down the beginner slopes under control and with only the occasional eggbeater/garage sale. It was all fun, which was what mattered.

Somewhere in this weekend’s travel, we were discussing the Jetsons, predicting the future, and why we weren’t all zooming around in our personal jetpacks. Mom A. was commenting that in the Jetsons, Rosie would hit a button on the wall and coffee would just materialize. While not quite as anthropmorphic as Rosie (though that’s debatable), it appears my “Mac could go a long way toward automating our house”:http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/02/13/home_automation.html.

I apologize to any visitors that may have experienced nasty 404s in the past week or so. As part of a “general site overhaul”:/scribbles/web_site_news/construction_in_progress/ I have been doing a lot of tinkering with scribbles. I have finished most of the man-behind-the-curtains work; all that’s left now is the tweaking (which is on-going anyhow).
