I keep forgetting to post this. A friend who currently lives in China wrote: It has been interesting to hear some of my former students express excitement and intrigue about the presidency of Barack Obama. The reason it has captured their attention is because it proves to them... (More)

Faith Nine Months

Faith is 21.8 lb, 29" tall. Those are both 90th percentile. Everything checked out great, though he did do some extra fiddling with her legs because she has "asymmetrical creases" in her thighs. This can indicate problems with the hips or differences in leg... (More)

Hugging...

I've noticed the "kids" at church (in quotes, since folks are quite sure where to place me, the "adults" say I'm a kid, and the "kids" say I'm adult (I think primarily since I'm married and have kids of my own)) hug more than I am used to, and I had internally... (More)

Liberal or Conservative?

I guess I fail the test , since I answered "no" to both questions, though I suppose Brad Andresen from college (the one who always said of me, "You're more liberal than you think you are.") would be happy to hear that I'd be more likely to think it alright to slap my dad... (More)

A Post About Noah

4/23 and following - Noah sings a little song, waving his arms around and concludes with, "Amen." He then says, "Me get mine Bible." He has loved reading the Bible even from such a young age as I was not sure if he could distinguish it from other books, except... (More)

I Heard It From a Newspaper...

So, I know you can't believe anything you read in a newspaper, but if the newspaper calls you and tells you something, then can you believe it? How about if both Pittsburgh newspapers call? We've heard that Judy was acquitted of two of the three charges brought against her, but... (More)

Quotes and More

4/10 - Noah comes up to me, winking, and says, "Mommy, me one eye!" It was hilarious. (I couldn't wink until first grade.) 4/11 - Guess which story this is, by Noah: "Let me in. No, no, no. Blow up house!" 4/20 - What does Noah say when... (More)

Coloring, Colors, Teeth

3/29 - Jonathan was upstairs quietly playing for a very long time. When he finally came down, he showed us what he had been working on the whole time. It was a completely filled in color-by-number page. He read the colors all by himself to see which one went with which... (More)

Crawling! and more

3/6 - Jonathan beat Heather in chess, fair and square! 3/18 - Noah said, "I love you" for the first time. It was to Faith. Later that day, he said it again to Daddy as he was leaving to go shopping. He has yet to say it to me, but I know it will come.... (More)

New Printer: HP LaserJet 1006. Installed on Linux CUPS and Networked to Windows XP

Our printer finally died. Or actually, it didn't really die, but required more money, so I decided (somewhat hesitantly, since the HP Laserjet 6L is the best printer ever made, according to most sources) to replace it. The 6L lasted 13 years , so the longest lasting printer I've... (More)

2008 Taxes

I haven't looked at how much time it took us to do taxes this year - I thought we were doing pretty well, time-wise, until we blew 8 hours or so today finishing them off (or is it them finishing us off, I'm not sure which...) I noticed a number of places where the strange, complicated... (More)

News I Forgot to Mention

Speaking of news, I forgot to post here that the closing arguments for Judy's trial are scheduled for tomorrow, and I'll be heading to Pittsburgh to hang out with folks who will be there in her support. Of course, this might be the first time a scheduled meeting actually happened when it... (More)

Confused...

Most of you who know me realize that I don't hardly pay any attention to news, and particularly since I started working from home, I can't even get my daily news reports from conversations in the common area. So, I generally figure I don't know most of what is "going on" in the... (More)

Stuff again

2/10 or earlier - Faith can transfer an item from one hand to the other. 2/10 - Jonathan, studying a penny, "This coin says 1 - 9 - 9 - 9. That's super long ago!" (I knew my kids would think anything before 2000 was ancient history.) Since coming home from... (More)
