Happy Easter
Received a lovely (homemade) card from my daughter this morning...
"Easter is finally hear!
I can't beleive it's finally hear
The birds are cherping
The bunnys are hoping
The flowers or blooming
Easter is finally hear!"
Looks like we need a bit more work on her speling...

TechnoratiFrobnicate, v.:
To manipulate or adjust, to tweak. Derived from FROBNITZ. Usually
abbreviated to FROB. Thus one has the saying "to frob a frob." See TWEAK
and TWIDDLE. Usage: FROB, TWIDDLE, and TWEAK sometimes connote points along
a continuum. FROB connotes aimless manipulation; TWIDDLE connotes gross
manipulation, often a coarse search for a proper setting; TWEAK connotes
fine-tuning. If someone is turning a knob on an oscilloscope, then if he's
carefully adjusting it he is probably tweaking it; if he is just turning it
but looking at the screen he is probably twiddling it; but if he's just
doing it because turning a knob is fun, he's frobbing it.
