    Korel Laloix: Osiyo
    Korel Laloix: brb
    Bruce Mowbray: Oh hi, Kori. didn't see you there. I've been programming my robot.
    Korel Laloix: What kind?.. I just got a Margareta!...
    Bruce Mowbray: It's a Thymio... and I'm sipping some light wine.
    Bruce Mowbray: I'll give you a link; just a sec please.
    Bruce Mowbray: http://www.techykids.com/
    Bruce Mowbray: The lady in the photo is Sharon. I've spoken with her three times.
    Bruce Mowbray: and that "Hexagon Flower" in the "project"s section is mine.

    Korel Laloix: Looks fun.

    Bruce Mowbray: It is fun, but it's also a bit addictive.

    Korel Laloix: Sama is experimenting with virgin cocktails... and doing quite well.
    Korel Laloix: Exactly... smiles
    Bruce Mowbray: Sometimes it takes hours to get it to draw something precisely.
    Bruce Mowbray: "Virgin" cocktails? Please say more.
    Korel Laloix: No alcohol.
    Korel Laloix: Looks like a nice challenge though.
    Bruce Mowbray: Hmmm.
    Bruce Mowbray ponders margaritas without alcohol.
    Korel Laloix: I guess another term is Mocktail.
    Bruce Mowbray: Hmmm.
    Bruce Mowbray: The robot was designed in Switzerland for 7 year olds and up.
    Bruce Mowbray: So, I figured it would work for me...
    Bruce Mowbray: oooops a storm front is passing over the farm right now.
    Korel Laloix: http://cocktails.lovetoknow.com/virgin-margarita-recipe
    Korel Laloix: Lovely.. I love a good storm.
    Korel Laloix: Bad on computers though.
    Korel Laloix: We are finding the mocktails tend to end up very sweet.
    Bruce Mowbray: I see... so no more "wasted away in Margaritaville"?
    Korel Laloix: I promised to cut down on my drinking while Sama is cutting back on hers for the next few months.
    Bruce Mowbray: ahhhh.
    Bruce Mowbray hums "Red Red Wine" to himself.
    Korel Laloix: That is one of our favorites.. but something different is always nice.
    Bruce Mowbray: ...... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zXt56MB-3vc
    Korel Laloix: I have heard that one.. thanks.
    Bruce Mowbray: :)
    Bruce Mowbray: I'd never seen the video before.
    Korel Laloix: Been listening to this...
    Korel Laloix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uogojAlfzxY
    Korel Laloix: Very nice when loud.
    Korel Laloix: Nothing to do with wine though... lol
    Bruce Mowbray: Cool vid. (prefers not so loud.)
    Bruce Mowbray: Cool optics.
    Korel Laloix: Reminds me of Celeste.. when it was coming up on her kick-boxing seasons she beat herself nearly to death getting ready.
    Bruce Mowbray: I guess that shows her devotion to the sport.
    Korel Laloix: She was internationally ranked in her division at one time.
    Bruce Mowbray: Wow!
    Korel Laloix: She is just coaching now though....
    Bruce Mowbray: Hmmm. Well, sounds likes she's qualified.
    Bruce Mowbray: like*
    Korel Laloix: Very... Celeste is still something like wonderwoman in my eyes...


    --BELL--


    Bruce Mowbray: Your hero?
    Bruce Mowbray: or heroine?
    Korel Laloix: I was in awe of her for sure.. maybe hero. I am just still impressed with her. I don't mention her around Sama though... lol.. they know each other and Sama sort of feels the same way... and gets a little jealous... smiles
    Korel Laloix: So what all does your robot do Bruce?
    Bruce Mowbray: Mostly it draws stuff.
    Bruce Mowbray: Right now I'm teaching it to draw Greek borders...
    Bruce Mowbray: (design...)
    Korel Laloix: Greek borders? Lots of island and coast there I think.
    Bruce Mowbray: Greek borders like those used in design..
    Bruce Mowbray: I'll find you an example of what I'm teaching my robot to draw.
    Korel Laloix: lol.. is that good or bad?..
    Bruce Mowbray: http://cliparts.co/clipart/2413901
    Bruce Mowbray: something like that.
    Korel Laloix: Oh OK.. I have seen that.
    Korel Laloix: brb
    Bruce Mowbray: Yes, mine will be a continuous chain....
    Bruce Mowbray: But absolutely every angle is dependent upon all of those going before it...
    Bruce Mowbray: and any slightest mistake is perpetuated and magnified,
    Bruce Mowbray: so a bit frustrating.
    Bruce Mowbray: It's enough to drive one to virgin margaritas!
    Korel Laloix smiles
    Korel Laloix: Evidently since Sama made the drinks, I am making dinner... grins.. so in and out.
    Bruce Mowbray: cool.
    Bruce Mowbray: What's for dinner - besides margaritas?
    Korel Laloix: Pasta pesto with hot Italian sausage
    Bruce Mowbray: Yummie!
    Korel Laloix: I think so.. home made pesto as well... yea
    Korel Laloix: brb
    Bruce Mowbray: I ate three enormous corn-on-the-cobs this afternoon... so not hungry yet.

    Korel Laloix: Evidnetly we can have one glass of red as well with dinner... smiles
    Bruce Mowbray: Yayyy!
    Bruce Mowbray: Good with pasta, of course.
    Bruce Mowbray: Those Italians knew what they were doing.
    Bruce Mowbray: I will go now -- so you and Sama have a fine dinner and a good evening.
    Bruce Mowbray: Bye for now.
    Korel Laloix: ciao
