Where's Adam, More Specifically Edition

The challenge in this case will be to tell me which courtyard I'm in. Go.

I have redeemed myself...

... because last night I had a burger in the hotel restaurant. Forgive me, I was tired, and we had been adventurous at lunchtime.

But today, I had this:

... in a random streetside place with almost no English.

Cheers!

Where's Adam, the Easy Edition

Hmmm... Well, I guess Bonus Points for anyone who can name the section...

Off She Goes!

The first morning of pre-school is underway!

Ready to Go:

Out the door:

(and yes, we're doing some paint work in front.)

Walking over:

Guessing Game Two, Part Four

OK - last one for this series. Can anyone put current events together? Yes, "Spamalot" was playing this town last week, awesomely clashing with the tremendous gothic cathedral a couple blocks away. . .

Guessing Game Two, Part Three

It's not Prague...

Guessing Game Two, Part Two

Several days on the road mean that this is now behind the times, but here's your next hint.

Guessing Game Two, Part One

Where am I? There's a small hint in this one.

Margot vs. Daddy's Art

We went to visit my parents recently - Uncle Bill and Grandpa Bob are in town!  More on that later...

Since my old toys are now Margot's toys at my parents, Daddy got to make an awesome tower of blocks.  I mean, it was like, twelve hundred feet tall.  Or, three.  But very rickety.

Margot wasn't that interested while I was building, but became interested once I was done, and dealt with Daddy's creation appropriately.

(Video has sound . . . I tried to cut it down to a quiet level.)

Go Sox!

Two Weeks and All's Well

Hi all -

We went to the pediatrician for Margot's two-week checkup, and all's well. She's gained a pound since last Monday, and is up to 8lbs 15oz (although I think she'd had a recent feeding). She's much more active with her hands now, and spends long times (relatively speaking) during the day with her eyes open and "looking around" (although I know she still can't focus on anything very far away from her face). She's also differentiating her daytime and nighttime schedule - feeding more oftenduring the day and sleeping for longer periods (again, relatively speaking) at night. A couple nights ago she fed at 10PM, 2AM, and 6AM - which means something not too short of 4-hour sleeps for me, and three-plus hour spells for Christi which was (relatively speaking) grand for a couple of nights.

What else? I've been working since last Wednesday, although I'm able to do some of it from home, which is good since I can mostly get work done, but occasionally watch or handle Margot when Christi needs a break.

I don't have any new pics on this computer, so you'll have to hold out for a bit. Maybe tomorrow I can add more. Margot has tried on many more of her clothes now, and has a repertoire now including pants & shirts, onesies, sleep gowns, hats, mittens, and socks - not to mention the cutest little jacket with lamb-ears you've ever seen (softest, too).

That's all for now - time to get Margot's furry brother out for his evening eliminations! Ooh, maybe I have a picture of him I can add . . . nope, dang.

Well, then, here is the finest photograph of Margot 'n' Mooo that 45 seconds with the Mac's built-in camera can produce:


(You don't want to know what Margot was doing while I took this.)

G'nite!

Family Snapshots June07

Hey all -

C's stepmom was here for a few days last week, and among other things managed to take some good pics of us (& Jolly - did I mention Jolly? One of the things that happened to us between June '04 and Feb '07 but wasn't recorded on the Blog was getting Jolly).

So, here's out current and impending family:


(Don't worry, I did get a haircut shortly after these pics.)

First Post!

OK - so the idea here is to try out a simple interface for publishing some of my thoughts, interests, and news to whoever cares.

I'm not thinking right off that this will be a high-volume or rapidly-updating site, but I've been wanting for a while to have a place for little announcements and thoughts that don't seem important enough to figure out who to email about them . . . So, welcome to a rolling experiment in sharing a bit of my life.

In other words, the usual narcissistic crap! Welcome to the Web.
