Family newsletter:

I've been enjoying my UU hobby so much, I've gone ahead and decided to try taking on another hobby: studying computer programming. (Just studying, so far, not much actual doing. My schedule doesn't seem to have any free computer time in it, but it does have moments, as I chauffeur Paikea around, when I can read a few pages of a book.) I've read half of Python for Kids (not impressed), and started Eloquent Javascript (pretty cool), and Coders at Work (way over my head, but interesting). Many thanks to the Google Blockly team (especially Ellen S.), to the Au Coquelet BiFriendly crew, to the Hour of Code campaign, and to my 9yo daughter, for the encouragement and inspiration.
