To answer your first question, yes, I do have an HDTV, but Gracie hasn’t shown much interest in it. She prefers looking out the windows or screen door. I usually keep them open for her and her sister Ginger during the day. The neighborhood we live in has a lot of trees and birds are always flying around. Gracie does spend time with me when I’m at my computer; however, and once in a while she’ll take swats at the cursor as it darts around the screen.

Ginger on the other hand likes to watch TV. She seems to be most interested in action movies. I was watching Godzilla a while back and she was intensely focused on all the mayhem that erupts towards the end of the movie when Godzilla battles the MUTOs. If you met Ginger this would make prefect sense. I affectionately refer to her as my “crazy baby”.

Yes, I’m quite serious about creating a play environment for the girls. I have a lot of left over cardboard boxes from a move and they should provide more than enough building materials. I’ve been thinking about a tunnel for them based on the hallways of the Nostromo. It has to be science fiction themed for daddy.
