Weather conditions conspired to create black ice on the roads this morning. On the positive side it also produced some rather lovely scenes in the garden. Maya has been asked to design the bumper for her robotics club entry into this year’s FIRST competition. When I returned from work she shared her ideas and drawings with me. It is now ever more clear to me that Maya would make an exceptional engineer should she choose to go down that career path. Later, Nicolai and I began the arduous task of tracking down friends and acquaintances from more than a decade ago who appear in home video I shot while we lived in Indianapolis. Clips from these videos may be used in an online/on-air marketing campaign featuring Nicolai and we need to secure their consent to be included.
