• Book: Food Rules by Michael Pollan

    Not sure this qualifies as a book as it’s finished in roughly an hour and has really big pictures, but I came in to it thinking it was a book so I’m going to go with it. I’m pretty sure I didn’t pay for this and you don’t have to either; PDFs are widely available on the internet. Penguin Books, if this isn’t freely…

  • Book: Dune

    With the movie coming soon, I had to get this one under my belt and boy, am I glad I did! Easy five stars. I have fond memories of my father owning this and always wanting to read it mostly because it was a massively thick paperback that looked impossible. Unsurprisingly (he doesn’t care much for sci-fi INCLUDING STAR WARS!), he didn’t like it.…

  • Mia, Month 5

    This month Mia became an expert at rolling back to tummy, but only to the left. Odd, because she originally did everything better to her right. The problem with rolling only one way meant a handful of nights where she’d do it numerous times, get stuck, get mad, and Mom and Dad got no sleep. The biggest event of the month was Mom going…

  • Book: Salt (A World History)

    This kinda thing is totally my jam. A in-depth look at something so simple and boring that it’s brilliant. Incredibly well researched and written, I can’t wait to get to my next book from Mark Kurlansky. I’m thinking Oyster, 1968, and then Cod. Cod is far and away his 2nd most popular title, but there was a lot of talk of it in Salt…

  • Mia, Month 4

    We made it! This little one is a true bundle of joy. So happy, sleeps well (8ish hours, wake to eat, and then another couple), eats well. We really lucked out. This month she began to love dancing and being swung about, laughs constantly,  really figured out her hands, graduated to a crib, and is exceeding expectations on all the milestone stuff. We spent…

  • Goodbye, Condo

    My condo sold last week. I bought it near immediately following the divorce, it served me great for a year and a half until I found Rebecca, and served a friend of mine well since then as a furnished rental. It was a good little space with excellent neighbors and an outstanding location. I didn’t end up getting rich on it, but more importantly…
