Here's More Stuff

So here's what's going on in Daveville.

1. Tessa has been enrolled in pre-school. She starts at Florissant Valley Child Development Laboratory Center. And no, she won'r be running through mazes for some cheese or creating monsters and potions. I think. It is a preschool that is staffed by both experienced teachers and college students doing grad work (hence the lab part). It is a mixed age class with cirriculum designed for the individual student.

Tessa is going two days a week. Valerie and I  think this will be a fantastic opportunity for her. She needs to learn how to behave in a structured environment. We know that she is off the charts with her verbal abilities (seriously, she never stops talking!), there are always skills she can work on. We beleive the twice a week schedule is plenty for a three year old (she'll be with 4 and 5 year olds as well), and if all goes well she'll go five days a week next year. Exciting stuff!

2. Tomorrow evening I go to the eye doctor for the first time in about 24 years. I don't expect there to be any serious problems, but I'm preparing for glasses just in case. I have noticed a slight problem with distance vision at night, though it is highly irregular. Valerie noticed that I misread a few road signs while we were on vacation as well. Probably nothing, but it's possible that my eyes have been compensating for a problem for a while now and I just didn't notice. So I made an appointment with the local eye center.

So the question is, if I wind up needing glasses, wire rims or geek frames?

3. Getting closer to the Two Hangmen CD release. Just like to mention that whenever I can. It's taken a lot longer than anticipated due to some production problems but things are looking up. working on new tunes and our web presence too. It's gonna get exciting here soon...

4. So MTV is 30. I am 39. We both got older and less relevant at the same time.

And that's about it for now.
