Happy Birthday, #2!
Yesterday was a big day here, folks. It was #2’s birthday. And not just any birthday, but the Big 1-0. Yup, double digits. So as I said, it’s a big day. And why do I say that again? Perhaps because it was ingrained in me, since it’s been repeated like a mantra by #2… every.single.day. … for 46 days now. Why 46, you ask? Because 46 days ago was #1’s birthday. And the newly minted house rule, established on the exact day of #1’s September birthday, is that you are not permitted to talk about YOUR birthday on SOMEONE ELSE’S birthday. (This rule need not apply to the general population, apparently.…

But it’s safe to say that having a new infant in the house has (temporarily ) derailed what was once a carefully coordinated household effort. So I spent some time earlier today trying to “analyze and troubleshoot my productivity efforts within the domestic realm in order to revitalize industry and redouble efficiency standards.” You know. Thinking about why I can’t get stuff done lately. And…

‘Dem Bones
Bones. We decided, with an impulsive dash of insanity, to spend a day visiting the Museum of Natural History in the City. Of course I mean New York City. Yes, there are plenty of cities scattered across the country. And many of them are great. (So I’ve heard over the last ten years, anyway. I wouldn’t know personally, because if there is no drive-thru window to accommodate me, then… I’m not going there.) But to people in my parts, NYC is The City. Because we’re arrogant, or self-centered, or whatever it is people assume New Yorkers are. So be it! The Captain and I decided to take the kiddies into the city.…
