Administrative notice

Blogging will be a little bit lighter until we get squared away on our bandwidth use.  I will still post daily but the posts will be skinnier and more to-the-point.  It may actually be better writing.

The red line is when Kubota was informed of the need to control bandwidth.

As you can see, we "blew up" on 9/3, 9/5 and 9/7.

My countermeasure is to unplug the modem when Kubota is home.

What changed?

Kubota is not a big talker so I asked his friend The Great Brain what was going on.  TGB told me that Kubota has a girl friend!  Furthermore, TGB said that she is a good person and is a grade ahead of Kubota. 

Kubota objected when I asked him about it.  He said, "She is not my girl friend.  We have not 'gone out.'"

Overall, I am pleased with this development.  Nothing is more motivating than the desire to appear mature and capable to members of the opposite sex.  Thinking back, I have noticed a greater emphasis on grooming and appearance.

Now, he needs to start working so he has a few dollars rattling around in his pocket.
