is it laughing?
Any Developmental Psychologists out there with any idea what that facial expression is supposed to convey? He does that a lot now.
no more football
More pictures are up! We got some free tickets to the rams preseason game this weekend - so i went to my first and last NFL football game. The people who go to these games... biggest bunch of rude jerks i've ever met. I'll stick with baseball! …
his word alone
Todays poll on the St. Louis Post Dispatch... I thought the wording was a bit strange: Which side do you believe in the Kerry swift boat controversy? 52% JOHN KERRY -- His medals and his word are good enough for me 29% KERRY'S CRITICS…
they're coming already...
ok - the picture backlog will be rectified! I promise. Mostly.
back against the wall
oy - threw my back out two and half weeks ago, i'm just now becoming mobile. that's no fun. Chili learned to clap last week. He claps (sometimes missing the target of course) and laughs and always looks around to make sure everyone is seeing this…
obamabalama
oy, my back hurts. um... in other news, we have a cat. well, kitten. It's orange and odd. Where is that liberal media i keep hearing about - the absolute disdain with which the networks have covered the DNC convention is palpable. Yo,…
how did ayn rand get in there?
[Ethics Quiz]() To which philosophical system do your beliefs align? This is an interesting quiz that shows how closely your philosophical leanings rub up against the teaching of great thinkers through the ages. I really should take it again -…
apathy makes me hungry
Where was i? ahh.. Amy and Chile came back from Podunk, Missouri. They were down there to welcome her aunt who just came back from Geo. Bush's war. It's strange seeing Chile after a couple days of not seeing him - the first such absence since he was…
seventy two and tippacanoe
After upwards of 72 hours without electricity, the lights and fans and (oh, thank god) the air condition sparked back to life on wednesday night around 10pm. I think it's around 10 - we were at the baseball game, et al, until midnight. Next Task:…
light out
We're heading toward 48 hours without power at our house. Second power outage in a month. bah. The boy is at his Great Aunt's house for the duration. Last night i went over there to hang out with him during a Mary Kay party in the next room. He's…

worst reply ever
I thought i'd try and get an estimate from Two Men and a Truck over the weekend. At their website, they've thoughtfully decided to offer no hints whatsoever as to what I might end up paying. They do offer, however, a ""Quick Estimate"" form.…
crawl and sprawl
Chile is learning to crawl. He's got the basics down and you can really see the neurons firing as he plants one knee after the other on the carpet. Kid is gonna need knee pads. We signed the lease on our new digs today. We're moving up to the ground…
i hope i closed my windows
Max's new fun habit is trying to feed everybody. If you give him something to gnaw on he pushes it at your mouth and won't stop until you try some. It's terribly adorable. I had to go in to work on Saturday to rescue a wheezing database server.…
planes, trains, automobiles... except no trains.
We're back in St.L after a week in the SF bay area. My younger brother got married and all that. I'll tell ya about it sometime... happy mothers day!
cyberian frontier
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.
spring sleep
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…
coff coff
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…
