	Party!
	Nicole had a jungle party this year. We decorated the back yard with streamers, tented the swing set, converted the playhouse into a hut and hung stuffed animals from strings all over. We even bought a stuffed parrot that repeated everything you said to it. Very funny. Tina made a beautiful zebra cake. It tasted great too! In order to make it more like a jungle, we served the cake on "leaves" and had the kids eat it with no utinsels. They seemed to love eating "animal style". What a mess you say? Not to fear, we made an outside "watering hole" where the kids could get a drink of water and wash their hands. We also played many party games like animal cheraides, poacher tag (freeze tag), peanut hunt and animal hunt. Lots of fun!

	Weather
	It has been raining all week. In fact on Friday the 16th we got nearly five inches of rain! Fortunately, the rain ended Friday night and was bright and sunny for Nicole's birthday. It was below freezing in the morning. A bit cold for decorating the back yard. But by party time it was in the upper forties and was a nice day for a party.
	News around 2/17/2001
	Computer news: The fastest personal computers today run at about 1.5Ghz. Intel's Pentium 4 runs at up to that rate. Computers at 1Ghz have really come down in price and can now be had for around the $1000 price (depending on options). Recordable CD drives and DVD players are becoming quite common. We still have the same old Intel Pentium 233Mhz with 96Mb RAM and 15Gb of hard disk space running Windows 98. At work I have a new 1Ghz machine with 512Mb of RAM and a CD-RW drive. Very nice. Microsoft's latest home operating system is Windows ME. Microsoft is going to release a new version called Windows XP soon. Gasoline is still at a high price. We usually pay around $1.38 per gallon of regular unleaded fuel. After a long battle last November and December, former Texas Governor George W. Bush was finally declared president of the United States. The governor of Texas is now Rick Perry.
