Tikal
2006.03.16
I’ve been reading about the Mayans recently. I figure that I’ll end up blogging about it in the near future, but, in the meantime, check out this virtual tour of Tikal.
A Dark And Quiet Room
Just a quiet corner of the Net where I will come to sit and think and write. Maybe you will find that I have something worthwhile to say.
What I'm Doing...
- On a date with @sistercrystal! Yay! 1 hr ago
- For those who were asking earlier about "flow": http://bit.ly/2trmfa) 2 hrs ago
- Had a conversation with the older kids about the philosophical underpinnings of Frankenstein and Dracula. 2 hrs ago
- Walked home from the piano recital with Samuel. This became a discussion of situational awareness in the urban environment. A good time. 3 hrs ago
- Being a Sergeant gives a +1 in close assault! This matters a lot! (Well, next time I play Space Hulk, it will.) 6 hrs ago
- More updates...
