my poor boy-o has a sore eye, the conjunky-virus. he was disappointed to be told that there could be no school today. now we have the challenge of finding fun things to do instead. my preference is for connect 4. because i am a champion of connect 4.
i am rapidly transmitting my excellent knowledge and superiority to elias, so that he too may pursue the heights of quadrilineal connectedness. he is making fine progress.
so far it's been a little harry pottering around and a lot of hovercraft crafting and winged jetpack construction. elias has told me he wants night vision goggles. he did not know they actually existed, and it was like magic to him when i told him that he had not in fact made them up. i'm sure the u.s. military can spare a pair.
he has been working on his skills in the kitchen recently, particularly his knife skills, under close supervision.
his claw technique coming along quite nicely. i shall build der uber-chef.

elias is an unusually competent 6yo uber-chef. he has the right regard for things that are dangerous and also for things that are wonderful (and sometimes tasty) surprises.
this past week, he learned that coffee in a baking mix does not necessarily taste like coffee but enhances some other important flavors. i didn't learn that until i was 30. as i said when i started out, he is 6 and quite accomplished.
