LookSmart's Furl - The Chris Hooton Archive

Click above for a wagner-modified houts questionnaire. It is a great way to think about where we fit in the body and how to be engaged. I have also made a kids version.

Late nights

I'm still recovering from a good vacation. We've been staying up too late. So tired.

I got my espresso machine while I was gone. It is sweet. We also picked up a soda siphon for italian sodas. We are about set for a coffee shop. Kyle (Trinity's Youth Director) came over today to sample it and dream about the future.

My projector supercharging has hit a snag. I got all the wiring completed, and the light is bright, but it isn't translating to the wall. I'm going to have to figure out how to focus the beam and get the right angle to make it to the head and then to the wall. More thinking.... Hmm.

Back to Settle Inn Omaha for a swim

Ella is swimming around all by herself now, and Foster hardly complained getting into the water. They were both very hot from the ride to the Big O. Especially Foster who has a fever from teething.

Ella's Favorite part of the children's zoo in Lincoln was the train.

My Favorite Lincoln Coffee House (CoHo)

Ella and I

This coffee shop has about a dozen Panache coffees brewed at any time. Some of the best coffees I've ever had, Elaine thinks the same about their lemonade.

McCook Bison

We couldn't convince Ella that this Bison wasn't a Lion. We found it at the McCook History Museum while cruising for wifi to publish a post to my lectionary blog.

Omaha

Ella loved looking at her favorite animal at the Zoo. Aftwards we watched a 3D safari in the IMAX theatre and ate dinner at Spaggetti Works in the Old Market. I love the Old Market.

At the Hotel, Ella was swimming all by herself! Well, her swiming suit is the daughter of a spedo and a life-jacket.
