Fast forward now to the end of summer vacation -- wait, you passed it.

Yes indeed, summer vacation ended as of this morning when we dressed up Da Chimpz and carted them off to school to start another exciting year of (ahem) learning. And mischief.

Well, at least I can't complain about it not being a hot enough summer. Unlike last year this has been a real heater. But that's already fading away as the nights get cool (and cicada loud). It's all good.

We downloaded Blender over the weekend and have been playing with 3D modeling. That's some complicated stuff. We did make a rudimentary computer game (a cube that displays Cookie's face; you can make it bounce on floating planes that display gorillas, Mojo artwork, and Mojo himself -- just don't misjudge your leap or you'll fall into the abyss).

We recently watched Clash of the Titans. Not a bad movie, though the gods on Olympus were dressed like ELO performing on Don Kirschner's Rock Concert. And now every time Cookie or Mojo are heading to the bathroom they announce with a sinister flourish "Release the Kraken!"

I need to blog more often; there's so much I've missed.
