Desktop Earth
I downloaded and installed Desktop Earth 2.0 on my XP laptop (and moved Berkeley to my Win2k laptop). Desktop Earth 2.0 is designed for a dual-head display, but it still looks great on a single screen.

"Heh-bee"
Kristy needed to get some work done tonight for BPS. So I loaded the kids in the car and took them out to our favorite bowling alley. When we arrived (at about 7pm), we were the only ones there. Nice. The clerk set us up with a couple of 6-lb bowling balls from behind the counter, elevated the bumpers on our assigned lane, and set up the ball ramp.

Eliana was the first to go. She picked up her ball off the return track where I had placed it and grunted a bit. As she carried the ball the 10 or so feet from where she picked it up to the head of the lane where the ball ramp was situated, she kept grunting while repeating:

"Heh-bee, Daddy. Heh-bee."

But she managed to get the 6-lb ball just fine without any help. In fact she carried a 9-lb ball about 30 feet from one of the bowling ball racks; a bright pink bowling ball that had caught her eye. Nine pounds is about a third of her total body weight. Now that's tough.

Double tough.

After we bowled for an hour, we drove over to the North Bend Baskin-Robbins and had a couple of cones before returning home.
