YOU’LL NOTE THAT WE DON’T SPELL IT “WEAKENED”

You know, the weekend, for all the running around it involves, always turns out surprisingly restorative. When Monday comes I feel so much more rested, so much more inclined to take on new challenges, learn new things, and, yeah, maybe even write a post about it.
With pictures, even.

This was a special weekend (in Summer, aren’t [...]

Śūnya No Longer

Congratulations on turning one year old today, Veda! When you get a little older, we can talk about the history of zero, which I guess you technically were up until now.
It’s kind of fascinating… The ancient Olmecs may have been the first to use your previous age, perhaps around 36 BCE, though it’s debatable whether [...]

UP AND RUNNING

On seeing your daughter take her first steps, just a few tentative tumbles toward her mom right there on the living room rug, you don’t feel proud nearly so much as happy for her.
You’ve done it, Veda. After 11 months, and so much learning, so much falling, you can walk.
Unlike your birth, and your first [...]

Merry Christmas 2009

A little backseat holiday caroling from your little friend Veda.
Enjoy, and if I don’t talk to you before New Year’s, have a happy start to 2010 too.
Now it’s time to get back to more merriment and food and gift-giving and food and family togetherness and food.
Merry Christmas!

There are other good videos from this weekend, including one in which Tom proposes to Niki, and she accepts, at the Marine Corps Ball Saturday night, but I’m not sure they’d want me posting that one just yet. So we’ll just stick to the basics for now.
Veda, crawling, cutely.

Such a Nice Girl

Before Veda was born, and even since, one thing that’s been on my mind a lot is how she’ll “turn out.”
I’m interested to see, of course, even though I do get a little squeamish about how I might affect the outcome. It’s much easier to imagine yourself sitting back and beholding this little person sprouting [...]

No-Goodniks

A few things to bear in mind if you decide to go as the cast of Rocky and Bullwinkle for Halloween:
- Almost nobody knows who Rocky and Bullwinkle are. The show went off the air in 1973, it says here, so actually I’m not entirely sure how I even know about them.
- Even fewer people [...]
