If I found $100 in the street I'd consider buying this book:

If I found slightly less money in the street, I'd consider this one:

I found links to both on this page, which is an interesting, if scatterbrained, read:

In other news, tomorrow is the Science Fair setup and check-in for projects. It doesn't seem like this should have taken so much time and effort, but it did. If I work on the next Science Fair, I will cut the fat out of the process that we've been following. This year we just followed the steps that were followed in the past, and the more I've looked at how it was done, the more I've seen unnecessary steps and lots of overhead that results in no benefit to anyone, but adds a lot of work.
Hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather - we are, especially the kids who were outside most of the weekend and some today. I got my bike out over the weekend and pumped up the tires and even rode around a little. M has been taking bike rides around our neighborhood, taking the walkie-talkie with him to keep in touch. It gives him a sense of freedom and he really enjoys doing it. We're glad he's getting the exercise.
We've decided on a roofer and we hope to get on their schedule soon. They're a Manchester company that has a good reputation, and they were recommended by some contractor friends of ours, so we have an opinion that we respect.
If I find $7000 in the street, I know what I'll buy with it.
Have a great week!
