pyatI took some time off work this afternoon - I'm working from home - and went driving with Elizabeth. She tells great stories, and has an excellent memory for a 5-year-old. She recognizes her day care.
As we drove, she had a thought:
"Dad, if everyone in the whole world was a cupcake, we would all dream of growing up to be cakes."

So, on our jaunt, we bought a refurbished 17" LCD monitor for the Fortress computer.. and put a deposit on an Acer Aspire One. This is the tiny sublaptop thing, with a 120 GB HD, Windows XP, extended battery, wireless, etc., etc. It seems it'll be handy for freelancing, working while commuting, and even basic video editing and the like. I'm going to load up all my old Champions/GURPS/Hackmaster/AD&D windows utilities on it, for use in games.
