After sitting all day in front of the computer (I'm starting to get radiation burns on my knuckles) and gnashing my teeth over the world's injustices it's nice to get a couple of pictures from Zoe (Katie took them) that remind us of simpler things.

Friday evening Zoe and I met Zoe's mom, Gerri, and Katie and Mike at Ruby's, a restaraunt in Redmond (yes, the home of that which shall remain unamed) with a late 40's theme. Good food and *great* hot fudge sundaes.

There were various artifacts from that era. A bumper car, pedal fire engines (behind us), a Whizzer, and two trains slowly moving around the room in opposite directions on tracks near the ceiling (see above my shoulder in the above picture - the tracks, not the trains.)

Sometimes we get so busy over important things the we stop getting excited about things like the wonder of little trains circling overhead. It's always refreshing to see a child getting excited over something new. We can learn from them.

Your assignment is to find a small child and watch the child discover something. Maybe you'll discover something too.
