  Magnolia Cafe

  Finally, after being here in Austin for over half a year, we finally made it to the highly recommended Magnolia Cafe. We’d tried once a month ago, only to be thwarted by a 45-minute lunchtime wait. So we decided to try for breakfast. That required a weekend day in which Sean was healthy and well-rested […]

  In which I make a long overdue fencing analogy

  04.10.11 | Permalink | Comment?

  One of the things I enjoyed about watching Margaret fence was seeing her think her way through a bout. You could see the gears working as she figured out what was going on, both with herself and her opponent. Then she’d put the pieces together and usually she’d win. You could see it happen and […]

  (On a related note, I was biking the other day and discovered that there were a large quantity of unexplained fingerprints on my biking glasses. Anyone know anything about that?)

  It’s teeth time again! And it has been for a couple weeks. Sean’s working on 6 teeth this time. That’s right: SIX! Let’s go to the chart:The first eight teeth came in by November; they’re in dark blue. Then we got the first two molars poking through in mid-January; they’re in light blue. These past […]

  Walking at the Park

  So there’s a tricky medium: I have to take enough pictures so that I get some good ones without squints and blurs and weird mid-flight poses. But I have to take few enough pictures that I can sort through them in a reasonable amount of time. This time I erred on the too-many side of […]

  I think “we’re in trouble” has become too mild a phrase. So this title is an abbreviation for “We’re in trouble. No, we’re doomed. Doomed!” Saturday night we were getting Sean ready for bed. He, of course, wanted to run around his room and play chase. We got him to settle for a book. I […]

  New System

  “New system!” I yell from the kitchen this morning, as I quickly rinse the breakfast dishes and slide them into the dishwasher. Ben is in the living room getting Sean ready for daycare. “Lobster magnet on the dishwasher! Lobster-face-up is clean! Lobster-face-down is dirty!” I put the magnet on the dishwasher facing down, and pause. […]

  A couple weeks ago I watched as Sean rummaged through the recycling bin and pulled out a yogurt container. He carefully placed it right-side-up on the kitchen floor. Then he went back to the bin and pulled out the yogurt container lid. He carefully placed the lid on top of the container, gave me a […]
