Patriotic mural; Allegheny Cemetery on Butler Street
(Strangely, I didn't take a single picture of any of our stops on the cookie excursion, but I couldn't pass up the fantastic mural and the cemetery.)
----------------------------------
Christmas came early in Squirrel Hill; E was so excited he couldn't contain himself. His MacBook Pro arrived today. We thought it'd be another 2 days, but like Christmas morning, there was a package on our doorstep waiting to be ripped open. (First, when he saw 'CN' on the origin address, he thought "Oh, Cincinnati! It'll be here in no time. Wait.. Connecticut? No... Shanghai.. China?!?" Hubs missed a few geography lessons as a kid, but he knew that when the package was in Tennessee yesterday, it won't be much longer.) Finally, after a weekend of agonizing, he got his Christmas splurge today. Thing of beauty... I couldn't help drooling too. E was on cloud nine. It's been a long time coming and he really deserved the upgrade from his 20GB hard drive, 700MHz (bwahaha!), 12" screen iBook. Now, with the MacBook Pro's 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, he has absolutely no excuse to slack off while his code is compiling.
Then & Now: 9 yr old E with a MacPlus, his first computer, and E this evening with the machine of his dreams
