Today is Jonathan’s birthday. I had found this Wifi Detector T-shirt that I was pretty sure he would like, so we ordered one up. This morning we gave it to him, and I think he really liked it. It pegs the geek meter. It lights up when you get it close to a Wifi hotspot, indicating signal quality. It is most definitely Jonathan.
Jonathan is definitely a geek (in the good sense). He installed Linux on his Nintendo DS a year or two ago, and he did it without any help from me. I was (and still am) very impressed.
Unfortunately, he’s still feeling a bit under the weather with sinus troubles today. Also, I had a church board meeting after work, so I didn’t get home until after 8:00. We decided that we’d “do” his birthday on Sunday. Hopefully he’ll feel better by then and can actually taste his birthday dinner – Mexican. I said, “Taco Bell?” and he said “No.” But of course, I was only kidding. I think we’ll go to Tia Margarita’s in downtown Concord.
It was the fourth night of Honors Week, and the club was working on Paper Quilling. Not exactly where my interests lie, and since I had a board meeting, I couldn’t attend that anyhow. But there were a dozen people working on it when the board meeting ended, and they all seemed to be enjoying themselves. Tomorrow is Spiders. David has been busting his butt doing school work this week, so were going to give him a bit of respite and allow him to attend the last evening. In fact, he will teach the honor.
When we had our planning session in July, he suggested Spiders and volunteered to teach it. But he was thinking Reptiles when he said that, and hadn’t noticed that we’ve been saying Spiders until yesterday. But he is still willing to teach it.
After church this Sabbath I will go visit an elderly woman who is a member of our church. She was the Pathfinder director at Concord for years and years, retiring from that maybe ten years ago (or so). I don’t know how long the club had been inactive when we moved here, but we got here the first year it restarted. She sent me an email the other day offering me a briefcase that her Pathfinders had given to her. I am honored that she thought to give it to me. She hasn’t been able to get to church for a couple of months, so I will bring her a CD copy of the church service.
