Looking at a photo of my sister's kids, i wonder about preferences. Her daughter is in her pink pink coat and tiara, and her son in his cammo pants. I know just how hard it is to get the princess gear off the daughter, and I know how much my sister tries to encourage her daughter to look beyond the pink, and her son to not limit himself to boy stuff. But were i a random passerby in the grocery, i'd just assume that these were kids who had been channeled into gender roles early.

Yesterday afternoon wasn't as industrious as i wished, but i made the Spanish pancake tortillas of gram flour with crab (and i've saved the recipe somewhere with enough keywords that i can find it again!), vacuumed with a cranky vacuum, and tidied some things. I also looked a little more into python, and that may have been part of my disappointment in the day. I discovered the "learning path" was just a long essay, essentially, and i stumbled across a tutorial elsewhere.
