John Paul’s home for the week now that finals are over. Grades still aren’t posted.
He got back into the air again, at long last, flying for the first time in several months. Plus, he got to use his new headset.
He’s going back up tomorrow. If you’re around Worcester, look up and wave!
Well, it wasn’t the *best* tournament ever.
Damon’s team came home without getting out of the round robin of the Jefferson Cup in Virginia (results – pdf), and Damon himself came home with a little more…a broken ankle! A few minutes into the first half he was tackled while clearing the ball, he played for a while after that, and went back in for the second half, but then came out.
Monday he went to the doctor where they found out it was broken; he’s now in a leg boot, and HE-CAN-NOT-PLAY-SOCCER!!! “Well, what if I just kick a ball around with my other foot?” YOU-CAN-NOT-PLAY… “Well, juggling’s not…” YOU-CAN-NOT-PL.. “But”…
You get the idea.
Happi Pi Day!

NOVA’s Einstein Revealed site
The Albert Einstein Archives at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. 3/14 is Israel’s National Science day!
Okay, pi gets a link, too!
Some Pi day songs
Gaah! Another day, another pile of snow here in New England. At least Joanne and Damon are heading out tomorrow for the Jefferson Cup soccer tournament. Unfortunately, I’m not.
I’m almost too sick of looking at snow to post this: Snow Crystal Photographs (via Boing Boing)
Dave Barry‘s latest is a shocking…shocking!…exposé of rampant cheating in livestock shows – udder tampering.
Everybody loves 
homestarrunner.net! “It’s dot-com!”
Of course, you’re really going there for the Strong Bad emails. Seriously.

It turns out that the universe may actually be shaped like…a doughnut!
Goalkeepers do it with their eyes shut
Peril-sensitive sunglasses are real! In a study, Australian goalkeepers are wearing glasses which black out at certain times when they’re defending penalty kicks.
Gabe turned 13 today! Now he’s legal for PG-13 movies, and AOL screen names. So, for his birthday he’s now Trogdor944, and he watched Lord of the Rings. (That’s not to say he hasn’t caught a glimpse or two of PG-13 movies before now 😉
Well, that means that we now have four teenage boys in the family. Yikes!
