Sheep Guarding Llama

Another very warm and sunny day on Sicily.  I was up at eleven, everyone else was still asleep.  Once everyone was up, today was a family video game day together.

We had a good time as a family today.  We broke out a new game that we have: “Murder, She Wrote”.  It’s a hidden object game but one with a story.  A bit interesting and different for us.  We liked it.  And it was simple enough that Liesl was able to man the helm while we played.

After completing the first chapter of Murder, She Wrote, the girls and I played “Sacred Order: Beyond Time” which is a more advanced and newer hidden object adventure game.

Saturday.  I started the day by being up early and doing some posting.  Then I took a walk to the market to get our supplies for the weekend.  Once home, Dominica was making coffee.

The kids played video games most of the day; mostly The Sims 3 and Lego Movie so we were alone in the living room.  So Dominica and I watched a bit of Star Trek: The Next Generation season three today.

For dinner tonight, Dominica made pasta.  Then we set up the Steam laptop for family game night and broke out the laser pointers for fun with hidden object games.

First we played “Amazing Adventures: Around the World” as a family.  We love these simple hidden object games.  Fun for everyone, no effort to get into it, easy to quit when we are ready.  We had a very good time.

After that Dominica was done and the girls and I played “Hidden Object: Happy Homemaker” which they liked a lot.  It is a bit more fast paced than other hidden object games, but very simple to understand.  Very fun for us.

Friday.  Lots and lots of coughing again today.  The bronchitis is not getting any better.

I did some work with Korora Linux today.  So far I am really liking it.  It is based on Fedora Linux, but the desktop graphical style and polish is really slick.  Built a Tumbleweed server today, too.

Quiet day of work.  This evening we hung out a bit.  Then I put the girls to bed and ready them from The Bobbsey Twins.  They are enjoying the stories from over a hundred years ago.  Mostly they just like that I read to them at bed time.

My bronchitis has gotten pretty bad and I feel awful today.  I have been drinking loads and loads of tea which is helping a little, but not a lot.

Dominica came up and worked at my desk with me today.  She is doing a lot of web design work right now so we are able to get a lot more done when she is up in the office with me.

I had a storage consulting call with Mexico, Ukraine and Denver this evening.  That went very well.

I updated MangoLassi to NodeBB 1.4.5 today.

The kids played The Sims 3 pretty much all day today.  They have been missing it, a lot.  They played upstairs in the office while I worked, so we got to hang out quite a bit.

I got up this morning and went to the store for supplies since we have been away for several days in Palermo.  Once I was back home Dominica made coffee and we hung out having coffee together for a little bit.

Back home in New York, people are shoveling the deep snow.  We had a light, warm rain and several cups of coffee.

I worked today up in the office.  I’m feeling a bit sick, likely have bronchitis.  Not very happy about that.

This evening we watched Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 with the kids, again.
