I make resolutions throughout the year, and their typical lifespan ranges from about 30 minutes to, in a good year, 45 minutes. Whatever, I like making resolutions, and I think this will be a good one to try out. Basically, I am going to read more old books (100 years old or older). Here’s where […]

“What’s it like having a baby?” “Jordan says it’s like having a dog that slowly learns to talk.” “Cool!” —Scrubs, Jan. 3, 2006

A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on. –Carl Sandburg This is pretty overdue, but for those who made a guess in the baby pool, here are the results: Link. We decided to name the baby after whoever won, so thanks to all the guys who guessed wrong! You saved our little […]

Kaeta’s favorite song (so far — she’s only heard a few) is apparently the Bob Marley classic “No Woman, No Cry.” I found this out because she was crying inconsolably, and that was the song that popped into my head to sing to her (for obvious reasons), and she immediately stopped crying and became happy […]
