Where is the teacher of the fish?

I was reading Fox in Socks to Lila and she was counting everything in the book. When she finished counting all the fish on one page, I explained to her that a group of fish is called a “school of fish.” She repeated the phrase. Her eyebrows tightened a little, looking the picture over again.…

feeling a little Violated

What’s with all the personal information required just to comment on somebody’s blog? Just surfing around checking out blogs within my six-degrees and had to sign over the children just to be able to comment. So I had one of my comments all written and it was a doozy, long, detailed, edifying, astute and GONE…

The Coffee Thing

For the last two years at Riverview, we’ve had a “Ladies Coffee Break” which entails a lot of hard work and ends up being so much fun. Each of the tables is decorated and fed by a hostess(or hostesses) who envision a theme and invite close friends, relatives and strangers to take a break and…

Sounds like Spring

So I was just outside on our porch. The weather is beautiful: sunny and long-sleeve-shirt-warm. I heard two things that made me think of Spring: A moped; a kid who lives around the corner likes to drive his moped down around our cul-de-sac and back up to his house. He was doing that all last…

Coincidence? I think not.

So I was on the throne reading Information Week magazine yesterday (is that too much information?), and in their page that has little news clips, I noticed two that were not overtly connected, yet made me pause. The first said something about approximately 600 MB of Windows OS source code had been leaked on chatrooms…

So the concept of a weblog is interesting to me. Everything you write, everyone can see. Any comment anyone makes is visable to all. How can a person resist addiction to the “news” of other people’s lives and then the drama of still others’ reactions to that news? It provokes uncomfortable questions of what community…

Look Ma, No Hands!

Guess what. I am now authorized to submit poignant and useful information to this blog! Right now I am testing the ease of posting and the simple beauty of the medium (with Davin watching closely over my shoulder). I am taking an interest in the mind-boggling world of high-tech, high-stress, nerd-populated Web junk. I think…

Another Eva photo

I’m trying to get back in the swing of updating this blog more often. So, when I’m too tired to think of anything to write about (a cop-out, I know), I’ll try to at least post an image. So, here’s one of Eva looking particularly little.

Eva, grunting

Okay, so as parents we have to deal with the unpleasantness of our babies’ constipation. This particular episode, though, had our six month old daughter Eva taking on interesting positions. Here is one. Interestingly to me, Eva was being very vocal during this episode. It reminds me of women in labor who are being vocal.…
