Hugo Estrada's House of Wonder

Crunchy Granola Academy
So after almost 2 months and a half, I finally have the time to actually interact with my children.

Today I did math with Isabella again, I attempting to teach Alexander to read, and then I worked with Isabella on her homework. Then we practiced the violin. Isabella showed a surprising interest in Old Time music, and what finally got her practicing violin was her desire to learn how to play Boil Them Cabbage Down, which I am learning as well.

Isabella did two exercises in math which is good. At some point she decided that she was bad it, which really angered me because she is actually quite good at it, but hopefully in the next month she will be back to normal on that front.

Old Time Music

So after working a lot over the weekend, I decided to buy myself a present, and I got a book with Old Time fiddle music. At home there are three sources for interest in this music: interest in folk music in general mainly the easy listening pop stuff from the 60s, but some other stuff as well, my interest in contra dancing, which I barely ever do, and Railroad Tycoon.

So now I have about 60 tunes to learn. I doubt I will get through that anytime soon, so I won't buy another music book retail until I finish reading that one.

In any case, I am going to have a lot of fun with it. And it seems that Isabella likes it too.

Chess, Hebrew, Torah

These have taken a back seat right now. I will get them back on track once everything returns to normal in the following weeks.

Erlang, Cobol and Tech project

Same thing. Although there are these really cool android classes over the internet that I have been taken. I must do the task to really learned them though. Then I will create a schedule for the rest.

Exercising

That really took a back seat, and now I am all achy. I had to go to the doctor today on that. That I must start working on because I must protect my health. Let's see how it works out.
