Various Things
1. I've finished the 400 site tokens for RUM. I just need to get them packed up and handed off to someone who's actually going to the event. I don't think I want to do another project like this for a while, but I'm a sucker so I may end up doing it anyway.
2. I took the girl down to the neighborhood pool today, and she finally got off the steps and at least walked around in the shallow end without hanging onto the wall. One step at a time. :) I've never been much of a swimmer myself, and never learned to swim properly. I tried swimming across the pool, doing what I hoped approximated some sort of actual stroke, and made a conscious effort to actually extend my arms and legs rather than just sort of dog paddling around. Considering the fact that my arms were tired and I was out of breath after a couple of laps, I must have been doing something right. This may be something to pursue more later.
3. The folks are coming down for Father's Day tomorrow, and I decided that it was going to be wonton day. Fried, steamed, soup, all kinds of wontonny goodness. I had some char siu (Chinese roast pork) in the freezer from a while back, which I thawed and chopped for the filling. I added some diced lap xiang (sweet Chinese sausage), water chestnuts, green onion, oyster sauce, chicken stock, and corn starch. Hopefully it'll be tasty.
