I was looking at Max's hands last night and was struck by how much they look like miniature versions of my hands. It's just an odd feeling.

It's was a beautiful warm day today. Max and I went shopping as Amy caught up on her sleep. We walked around the mall and allowed old ladies to coo and gasp at how adorable he is. He just glared from his stroller and occasionally yelled his blah blah blahs.

It's quite amazing how St.L can go from terribly cold to terribly hot in just a few short weeks... it's best to enjoy the relatively mild days while they're here.

I'm sick again - having a baby in the house will do that to you apparently. I'm well enough to work at least, but not well enough to work fast or well. Next week i'll look at my code and wonder what they're putting in Dayquil these days.

Last weekend Max turned 6 months old. He's become enamoured with "syllables" this week. All day long he'll sit in his chair and yell "Blah blah blah blah..." It's really fascinating and funny when he interrupts you to interject "Blah blah blah!"

That's the only syllable he knows right now. He's getting his moneys worth out of it.

Fuzzy buzzy feelin' in my brain

some say it's heaven

some say it's pain

I da' know, 'bout all 'dat

all I know

is all da' cool cats

feelin' smooth feelin' fine

chug double capps like sippin' wine

***

Chalky chunk of chipped choice

Chaucer's

malt milk bean blend

blunder of blemished bland

brand

sold in thick crystal

with foam hats

and beanspeck sillhoette

sprinkles

an' lovin' every minute (that just flies by)

***

Where ya' been, sven

been keepin' it hot

three cups in the pot

until we saw you again

I been dreamin', schemin',

of master plans

aluminum cans

a girl named wilma, even

all the old codger's

sippin' they brew

thinkin' of you

wilma and buck rodgers

wunnerin' much

bout' ya' life

if ya' got a wife

a home an' such

nope

Life as a paper cube

is very dull

I'd much rather be a

big rubber ball

or a pair of silver scissors

or a muraled wall

maybe a football bleacher

in August or late fall

or a piece of pirate loot

a jewel or a skull

or a short bespectacled guy

named Reuben or Sol

It's almost easter... I have the day off today for Good Friday, which means i have some time to scan up new pictures for you!
