We are heading to my parent’s farm for a few days, so there won’t be an episode this week. Hopefully I can record some great geeky kid stuff while we are gone, maybe even some classic car-ride discussion.

Have a great week, and we will talk to you all soon!

Hi everyone! I hope you are having a great and relaxing holiday weekend. Please take a minute to remember those who died to protect our freedoms in the USA.

I always think of my Granddaddy, who fought in WWII. He didn’t die in the war, but he died on Memorial Day weekend 9 years ago. I think of him landing on the beach at Normandy on D Day, and am grateful he survived and came home, thanks to the other soldiers who died to protect him. That is what Memorial Day means to me.

This week’s show will be a little late, since my wonderful daughter is home with a virus today. Poor thing, she has had it all weekend. So today I am on SuperMom duty, to try to make it all better.

Maybe I will have some help this afternoon, if she feels up to it. Talk to you all soon!

I hope everyone is having a great Mother’s Day!

I read this great column on Slice of SciFi celebrating the geeky mom, and thought I would pass it along to you! Enjoy!
