The kids were off school today and we plan some ice skating for the afternoon. Work comes first, however, so this morning we went to the laundromat to wash and dry a comforter and some sleeping bags; they don't do well in our top loader at home 
. Knowing that Miss halfdime would want to dive, I encouraged her to take a small stick along. Fathers should be supportive of their child's passions, don't you think (as long as they're not destructive)? For those of you who are unfamiliar with diving, it's essentially looking for money wherever you can find it: under vending machines, in Coinstar and, today, at the laundromat. As I worked with the laundry, Miss halfdime was singing out her finds: "Quarter!" "Dime!" "Penny." You get the idea. At one point, we did a tally and she had $2.50 in clad and about 20 pennies. In her kindness, she gives the pennies to Junior halfdime. I got the laundry into the dryer and had some time to kill so I aided Miss halfdime in her efforts. I was able to get the stick further under the dryers and had the strength to push through the lint and other debris to get the goodies. Pretty soon, there were more of them, a lot more. For some reason, I thought there was a good chance to find some paper and I was right. Out popped this folded up piece with Alexander Hamilton on the front! Of course Missy claimed it, or tried to, but that's a battle she wasn't going to win 
. When we went in, I put a ten in the change machine and used every last quarter; the ten I found under the dryer was merely a rebate! Also found was this lovely little snake, which reminded me of another one I encountered during a hunt with DrDetector. I nearly forgot to mention that Miss halfdime finished the morning with $4.60 and gave her bro $.28 in pennies. She'll do some more diving later at the Ice Arena!
