The youngster decided that this was worth sharing with the world at large. Note that this video does not include her commentary: Really, everyone loves a good silly baby animal video, especially when they’re done working for the calendar year.

<intentionaljoketag>generic blurb about how I have nothing to report</intentionaljoketag> Anyone who’s watching the mileage tick up on the left side of this web page has probably figured out that my five-to-six days a week workout has become habit, and if I don’t get it, I just don’t feel entirely right, mostly because I’m getting to […]

Thanksgiving and Black Friday have now passed.

No big plans for the weekend; probably just going to continue cleaning and take a couple of bike rides (did fifteen miles this morning; felt very good after spotty gym access this week). And now for the pre-school’s favorite […]

It’s kind of funny how synergy works. Just the other week I was musing about “princesses” and the problems they can present, and now, the always reliable JoCo releases a new song addressing the same general topic.

We’re picking up and getting out of town for a couple of days to run out the last of the summer, so don’t bother looking for us. In the meantime, here’s some music: “Big Bad World One (live)” – Jonathan Coulton “Downtown” – Tegan & Sara “Lover” – Les Paul & Mary Ford “Better” – […]

Happy Birthday, kid!
