What do you think of this…

The (great) guy that setup and handles our phone technology needs has a last name of ‘Tap’. That’s right: Tap.

So, is it purely ironic & just a coincidence?
Do you think he ever struggles with the ethics while setting up phone lines to listen in?
Was it destiny that he became involved with phones?
Perhaps a long-ago ancestor silently listened in to a conversation, and hence the phrase is actually named after him?

Wonder who else I know that has a name suitable to their line of work… ?

Have any April Fool’s Days events planned?

I don’t have anything planned, but do have 2 school-age kids. Instead of the usual wake-up method, I decided to wake them by asking them if they had yet looked outside…and that it snowed hard last night. I checked, and school was canceled–how lucky for them!

My boys sleep in 2 different rooms: The 10-year old sat up, excited, and asked if I’d push back the curtains so he could see. When I did, he seemed saddened that the snow hadn’t been “on his side”. I then broke the news that today was indeed April Fool’s Day, and gotcha!

The 7-year old got a big grin on his face and pumped his fist in the air in excitement. He too looked out the window, but didn’t comment. I asked him if he knew what day it was — “Yes, it’s Wednesday”. I asked what day of the year — “It’s April Fool’s Day” was the reply, but it didn’t sink in… yet. I just stood there grinning at him until finally he started to realize, and I dropped the “gotcha” on him.

They took it well, overall…and I reminded them each that they have the whole day to come up with something to get me back. We’ll see what they’ve cooked up for me tonight…

As with a somewhat recent encounter regarding “help”, I came across another fun little anomaly courtesy of technology. I’ve recently been toying around with Facebook, and decided to take a Movie Quiz. As a result, I was notified of this:

So, does this explain things? Is this a clue to solving my personal inner struggles? Is this why I have such a Love/Hate relationship with me? ‘Scuse me while I go ponder…

Ok, done. Seems this is just a result of crappy programming.

Just a quick Oh Happy Birthday to my oldest. Double digits… wow! I can’t believe it!

Like solving puzzles? Feel like spending a couple hours? …Quite fun at first, then trying, then a bit frustrating, moving on to down-right aggravating, finally clicking the cheat/solve link? See if you can escape…Sagrario’s Room.
