Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay, Lee!!

I am cranky and have a headache. I should just go to bed.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Go Team Lee!

I just had a brilliant idea. So I'm going to get my hair cut tomorrow. L (who gave birth last saturday) also has gone there and liked it, but not recently due to financial priorities. So...I'm thinking I buy her a gift cert. Enough to cover cut and color or cut & mani/pedi or cuts for her & her kids, whichever she prefers. She's on mat leave for a bit, and I can offer to babysit-or-mind if she wants him with her.

I LIKE.

Lee, congratulations! New jobs are awesome!

What I'm doing? Getting up way to early tomorrow to drive up to mountain view. Going to a hockey tournament in San Jose. Seeing friends.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

And having Dutch babies?

Good gift, sara!

When we picked Noah up at daycare, C, the provider had him in an exersaucer. "He loves this! Does he use the one you have at home?"

"Um. We don't have one."

"Really? I put him in and he immediately bounced, swiveled and continued to move around, looking for more toys."

Well, we know have an exersaucer. She's right. HE LOVES IT.

Oh, you guys, where are the awesome baby stores again? I just remembered a good friend is having a baby in a couple of weeks, and there's apparently no shower, so I'd better get on the stick myself!

What do you want to get, Jesse?

And is this a go to the store or internet order?
