Famille Du Pentium

Today, Aaron when on his second Orienteering expedition.  A little off-topic, I know, but he’s very excited about this new activity and has acheived some level of accomplishment in it – his second outing and he’s an Intermediate Orienteer, according to the local Chicago chapter of the club that tracks these things. 

Orienteering is about finding your way around the forest.  Spelunking, basically.  With a map.  You meet a lot of military people because it’s a skill they drill into you in the military.  I think it’s good for him to get some exposure to that sort of attitude and mentality.

Anyway, right… Hanukkah.  Day 6.  We lit candles.  There was no party, and we ate turkey sandwiches for dinner then most of us (except me, who’s writing this now at 9 PM) went to bed due to the afformentioned Orienteering outing tuckering us out.   Pictures are here, see you tomorrow.
