If you haven’t heard, Sarah is taking violin lessons. She’s been taking them for a little over a month, and I have to say it is amazing how much a four-year-old can learn in such a short time. Her teacher, Miss Sue is fantastic and knows just the right balance of play and learning to keep it fun. Today Sarah had a recital in class where she had to play a solo. The song is only six notes long, so, no, she isn’t playing long ochestral pieces. But she does play it pretty good most of the time. Right now, she plays a song called “Taka Taka Stop Stop“, which is the first song you learn in the Suzuki method. She has a couple of private lessons each week and one group lesson every Saturday. She seems to really enjoy it, and she tells everyone that she has a violin. Kinda cool, huh? Be sure to click on the picture to see more pictures in the gallery from her recital.
You probably have noticed the new design of Pelorus.Org here. That’s because I had to change web servers. I pretty much outgrew my last web hosting company, and they told me that I was taking up too much space. So I had to move everything to another server. I was able to do it without too much pain, except that all the people who subscribed to my last blog are no longer subscribed. So, if you want to get an email whenever I post something new here, just register by clicking on the Register link on the right side menu (or click here). Registering also gives you the capability to leave comments after each post, which I always enjoy. Or, if you are into RSS feeds, you can subscribe to my blog’s feed by using one of the two rss links in the upper right corner (you probably want the “Posts” link). But the only way you can leave comments is to register. Sorry for that, but it’s the only way to keep the SpamBots out of here. Unfortunately, there was one other casualty when I moved servers. The pictures in my old blog postings are no long in the postings. The pictures are all still in the gallery, but they aren’t matched up to the blog posting that went with it. I’ve got a few more design changes that I want to make here at the site, but I hope you like it so far.
I am still working for the same company, but I do now have a full time customer that I am supporting. I work for a new Navy command called Surface Ship Life Cycle Management Activity, or SSLCM. We are working to make sure that our ships last the full 40 or 45 years that they are supposed to last. Sadly, in the past, we have had to decommission some ships because they weren’t being maintained properly. I am helping with the planning teams by doing statistical analysis and some modeling.
As a reminder, if you want to see what my brother has been up to, you can read his blog, “Heading to School“. And my mom’s blog, “Hidden Hems“, will keep you up to date with her life.
