Summer Projects

Old Wahoo finally got to building a model Wall-E with the kids, and though it looks a little rough (OK, a lot rough), it's kind of cool working to build something with them.

Though we haven't finished yet, that hasn't stopped me from looking for more cool stuff. I've run across another cool project to work on with them: a kid-friendly catapult. If that's not the most you-asked-for-it idea out there, I don't know what is.

So the hated Heels won, and the game wasn't the greatest. (At least it wasn't as bad as the UNLV-Duke final in 1990.) But Old Wahoo and Mrs. Wahoo had a great time in Detroit last night for the championship tilt between Michigan State and North Carolina. The atmosphere downtown was terrific, as was the feeling in the building, at least until tipoff. It was also pretty cool seeing Bird and Magic introduced before the game, and then seeing Jordan, Robinson and Stockton come out when they announced the Hall of Fame inductees. Plus, it was great just for Laura and I to get out. Thanks a ton to Craig, who came through not only with the tickets, which was amazing in itself, but also for watching the kids so we could go to the game.

This story on hydroponic gardens looks cool, and it seems like a great project to do with the kids. I like the idea of growing something inside - we can start it up now - and we don't take up space in the garden this summer. I'm ready to try growing some alfalfa sprouts.

Old Wahoo loves the NCAA Tournament, even if the upsets were too few this year. Though I probably won't go to any of the games, (especially if UNC advances), I'm pretty stoked for Final Four weekend. The practices on Friday are free, and I plan on taking Alex down there - if not Matt and Rob, whom I would have to liberate from school. And I'm thinking about checking out Hoop City at Cobo.
