Had a great day! Visited the NC Museum of Life & Science in Durham. Ashlyn was old enough to do some of the activities and had a blast. The butterflies are always an attraction, but i have to say it was wierd to walk into a room that felt so tropical in November
Afterwards, we mosied over to Southpoint for the tree lighting. It seems a bit early for christmas stuff, but seeing Ashlyn light up like that was quite exciting. While waiting for the show, we spent some time in the Kids stadium… what a zoo and where were all the parents??? So many kids didn’t seem like anyone was watching them. There were actually kids standing on top of some of the toys and kicking all the other kids in the head. The cops came in and ran them off… no parents in sight.

The show was good, but it was hard to see in the crowd with two kids. Ashlyn was so excited that Santa was coming to light the tree and she also got to do some dancing. What a cutie! Let the holidays begin, I guess

I finally got around to hooking up my Atari 2600 2.0 that I got back in September. It is pretty cool… The games are even simpler than I remembered them. Even pong… which I played for like an hour last night
On a almost related note… our old TV is about had it. The tuner in it is about had it. It has been getting bad for a while now. All the lower channels are pure static and as they go up they get better. The cable is fine, MythTV records great. It isn’t a huge deal since we don’t watch TV live often, thanks to MythTV. Either way… it is probably time to buy a new one
