I got an email at work from a guy who used to be my boss (actually my boss's boss) when I was a gill net observer back in New Hampshire, more than a decade ago. He works now for a telecommunications company that lays cable on the seafloor, and needed to notify my department's enforcement people (I guess they had told all the other agencies, and then ran into one of our boats, who knew nothing about it - oops). Anyway, he emailed me again, asking how the faimily was and if the kids were Trekkers yet! Heh, apparently he was quite tickled at the fact that I was one back then (still am), to the point that I had bumper stickers on my pickup saying "At Warp Factor 9, They All Look Green to Me!" and "Starfleet Academy" in the back window.

He answered again, and apparently he is in touch with my other supervisor back then. I have fond memories of when I worked back there. Pete would often have me over for dinner with his family, as I didn't really know anyone back there. So, I'll have to email him and see how his family is doing. His kids must be grown up by now!

(Hmm, we're supposed to have some ITB people here today, so I guess I'd better uninstall this off my computer for the time being, in case they do an inventory)

The kids have this little Cookie Monster toy saxophone - from some angles it looks like a fat pipe. It has six buttons, three round ones on the top, and three more down the side shaped liked stars. The round ones play a short segment of music, and the round ones play an entire song; a jazzy version of London Bridge, Rock Around the Clock, and another one I don't recognize. There is also a knob which makes it play the song faster or slower - if you turn it in the middle of the song it sounds as if the band has taken drugs or something. This was a gift from Grandma, and normally would be one of those John finds a way to "accidentally" break or at least take the batteries out of. (Funny how grandparents give you all the noisy things that will drive you crazy).

However, Avalon has discovered the saxophone. She'll bring over to you, hold it up so you can press a button, then start swaying back and forth to the tune. Just so damn cute, I bust out laughing every time. Especially when she grins with all six teeth (four on the top and two on the bottom) and crinkles her nose up.
