Happy Solstice!

What a long day.  The last day of school for the girls for over a week!  What are we going to do with them…?

Steph and I decided not to move the RV today.  At the last minute she thought that driving it unregistered and un-inspected might not be a good idea.  She went up to the office and Errol and I hung around the house a little longer.

Oh, BTW, Errol is saying his own name finally.  Until recently when you asked him what his name was he either looked at you blankly or smiled and said, ‘No!’

Errol and I got to Hardwick at about 12:30 and we went straight to the TV station and picked up the check.  Then we went up to Hazen High to find Dave.  Low and Behold, there he was walking right past the front door!  He said he had to rush home for something and we just caught him in time.  Then we went to the office and checked in with Steph and Jerome before we set out on our journey to Montpelier.

Well that was uneventful.  Bank, mailbox, gas and back to the office.  The only mail of note was a notice that the state has decided to cut us off of health care because they can’t be bothered to look at our records already on file and wanted us to fill out a whole new application form.  So I have to deal with that tomorrow, yet more gas to burn…

Steph brought the girls up to the office and it was quite the scene.  Audreay couldn’t decide between watching a movie or making Errol scream.  Olivia had these small toys from today’s ‘Secret Santa’ event at school, so of course Errol wanted them and wasn’t interested in being told he couldn’t have them.

Steph got on Skype with Mason and made up a short list of things to do the MemoirSite.  The big thing he did last week was fix the duplicator.  When a subscriber would sign up the copy made from the template wouldn’t work right, so Mason looked into it and found some bug that he then went back and showed the developers.  It turns out we helped them fix something.

After they left I stayed and worked on the next 20 minutes of the October wedding reception.  While the computer was thinking about that, I split the Green Mountain Nutcracker’s first act track into actual discreet songs, something I’ve wanted to to for a year now!  This year she’s replaced even more classical with Colin McCaffrey’s bluegrass version.  Pretty much any time people are dancing in the part scene, but not Drosselmeyer’s entrance and his dancing toys.  It’s great stuff!
