26 Mai - Ricotta

Skylar decided he wanted to ride to school on his own today.  He seems to like this day care thing much better because there are kids closer to his age; not that 3rd graders are so young, but I guess it can make quite a difference at that age.

Michael showed me more of the wiki for cost analysis simulation modeling he's been working on.  It's actually written in Java which got me thinking... Java is in English... are there code languages in other languages... and Michael said he didn't think so.  He said, "How would an English speaker understand German code?" but how would a German speaker understand English code... just seems to me there would be a translator built within the compiler to understand other languages.  Maybe I can do some coding as part of this project.  Just looking at the code got me all excited, but I always hear my advisor's voice, "You know, you can't be a code monkey forever."

I asked Nora how you say Ricotta cheese in German and she said, "Ricotta"... go figure, but apparently it is not sold in the smaller grocery stores, but they have at the big one.  I went to this store once and thought it to be rather odd with a big produce section, a toiletry section, and then a bunch of dollar store crap.  Turns out at the back of the store there is a flat escalator that you can ride with your cart downstairs to the rest of the store.  Eureka! It's like a regular grocery store! So tonight we had delicious lasagna.
