Today My Boy Is One
Sunday, August 3, 2008
Today is the day my son turns one. He walks, he giggles, he plays, he fights, cries and throws tantrums.
He loves the bath. He hates getting his hair washed.
He loves bananas, sweet potatoes and especially avacado. Not so fond of applesauce yet.
He loves music, dancing and singing. He’s got a weird thing for Beach Boys type surf rock. He’s good with Tom Petty and Barenaked Ladies. He also appreciates Daddy’s singing.

Kid wanted to know why he couldn’t stream his webcam as part of a project. We told him we didn’t allow streaming from desktop machines on campus.
What was his project?
He wanted to stream a webcam pointing at a computer screen displaying a real-time graph of the temperature/ph of his fish tank. It was explained to him that there were better ways to get the data on the website than a stream of a computer screen.
Nuggets of Truth

Jesus God…Why doesn’t someone want to talk about it!…Is it because we’re having so much fun at home we’ve forgotten the world? Is it because we’re so rich and the rest of the world’s so poor and we don’t care if they are? I’ve heard rumors; the world is starving, but we’re well-fed. Is it true, the world works hard and we play? Is that why we’re hated so much? I’ve heard the rumors about hate, too, once in a long while, over the years. Do you know why? I don’t, that’s sure!

Serious Question
Saturday, May 3, 2008
For all of my friends locally who love cats but don’t have any of their own (there are some):
Would any of you be willing to take Remi? She’s breaking our hearts.
With the arrival of Mikey, the move and everything else going on in our lives, she’s miserable. She’s lonely and needs affection that we just can’t possibly give her anymore; Tangie, Dot and Maggie are perfectly fine and outright ecstatic to have a house to run around in and have a baby chase after them. Well, maybe not ecstatic about Mikey toddling after them going “cah! cah! cahcahcahcahcahcaaaaaahhh!” but they’re certainly alright with it. They’ve learned to run.
We’re pretty serious about this, but only based on the concept that we would be re-homing her to someone who was going to care for her, and that she would be an only cat. She craves attention, and loves sleeping on beds (and on your pillow, just over your head). She’s a nearly 100% silent cat: the only time I’ve ever heard her make real noises was when we put her in a carrier for going to the vet or moving.
It pains us horribly to even ask, but we could only allow her to go if she was going to be alone.
That said…anybody know somebody? Any takers? She’s a great lap cat. She’d be a great pet for an older person. *sigh*
