A grey day so I’m dressed in grey except for my green handmade socks!\u00a0 I have a meeting and recorder rehearsal.\u00a0 Then, the afternoon to play around with Flash.\u00a0 We have a new non-profit client who might like some simple educational games, and I discovered that I have a copy of Macromedia Studio 8 on my shelf.\u00a0 Cool!\u00a0 I installed last night and ran it and was pleased that it seemed to go just fine with the new operating system on the Intel mac.\u00a0 So, I’m going to try to make a Hanukkah activity in which you light each candle and learn about the prayers and what happens each night.<\/p>\n
