I would have *loved* to have been there with my two kids (9 and 6, the
6-year-old is a very good friend of Pascal's 7-year-old), but I was out of
town.

I've got my 9-year-old started on soldering.

Another friend of mine (Juergen) with a 9 year old would have also been quite
keen.

I'm planning to do some more of that kind of stuff with Juergen and Pascal
soon.
