We had to put our sweet Booker down today. He was 13 and terribly ill, and uncomfortable. In his younger years he was a caricature of everything fussy a cat could be, standoffish, ill-tempered... in his later years he softened and was much more agreeable to affection, and a real joy and a calming presence. He was the first soul Toia and I agreed to watch over together. Booker was her constant

Dear Curt

Dear Curt,Today is June 17th. We had dinner and then meandered around Northeast Portland for most of the evening. We went to look (unsuccessfully) for friends at McMenamins, and then also to look for a Father's Day gift (also unsuccessfully) for your grandfather. We very successfully obtained lingonberry jam from Ikea and watched planes land at PDX which was Really! Exciting!You were a gem

Ahh. The Jersey shore. When we flew into PHL yesterday, it was raining cats and dogs. Today was partly cloudy bliss with water temps in the high 60's. Who the hell vacations in New Jersey, anyway? The hoagies are great, the drivers are terrible, and "Dora The Explorer" actually rhymes here.

I've had an espresso renaissance this month. I've had this La Pavoni Europiccola for about 3 years, and just this year I took a real interest in it, after 3 years of putting out some pretty mediocre shots, each time wishing for something as good as the local espresso shop, each time wondering just how much trouble it might be to install one of THOSE machines in the basement somewhere.

My triumph tonight: fixing our beloved 3ccd Panasonic GS250, which went belly-up on our trip to Italy sometime. It simply stopped working without any external indication of what might be wrong. After finding out that the Panasonic flat fee for fixing the thing was nearly $300, I figured, "What could be the harm in taking it apart?" Let me tell you, there are a LOT of little screws and

Not a lot of activity around here these days. I've been using the internet passively lately. Through my Dooce reading, I found Sweet Juniper. Through Dutch's posts there I found Sweet | Salty, which has turned out to be one of the most thoughtfully written (mommy)blogs I've seen.

I am off work. Three weeks of glorious rest, preceded by a tense 3 months at my former work with absolutely no slowing of the pace as I prepared to take my exit. The job has been a pressure cooker of time and production constraints, coupled with a disastrously cumbersome software roll-out in the months prior. I was frazzled, stressed, overdone, burnt out and in a generally foul humor. We'd

I was lying in bed the other night idly thinking how parenthood has fundamentally changed me. My response to people in general and children specifically has improved dramatically. Walking from a seminar last weekend I heard the peal of of child's laugh. Instantly my mood was improved, and in a competing emotion I also instantly missed my boy, who was only a 10 minute ride away. I watch

Scottish Ale Update:

2006-10-19T22:02:00.000-07:00

The scottish ale that nearly killed me, Matt and Curt is now bottle conditioned. Cracked one open today to find a very drinkable mellow ale with coppery overtones and a very clean finish. Not at all as hoppy as I had worried it would be since we failed to strain the hop pellets/nuclear boiling chips as we poured it in the carboy.Disaster averted.

2006-10-09T22:36:00.000-07:00

We had a delightful Italian dinner with G&A&C, "Pollo ai Burleschque," and as usual a great time was had by all. Camille was intermittently in good spirits: Curt had some good product in his hair, presumably to impress the photogenic girl It was an excellent excuse to polish off a bottle of syrah. And a bottle of prosecco.

Yet another haircut

2006-10-08T22:07:00.000-07:00

So, this time there was appreciable loss of hair. We let a professional finish this particular job after there was an... unfortunate incident involving his bangs. He's all grown up now, and ready to graduate to the beer bong. We don't appear to have crushed his spirit by giving him a "young republican" cut.

This story should start with the mess. Sticky, syrupy, near boiling wort, roiling out of the pot with a vengeance.

We did virtually nothing today. It rained and was no longer very summery here.Curt took a pretty good nap:Matt and The Gus came over later, a little drizzled upon. There was a rousing game of Smash-Finger with the nearly-childproofed back room. Curt and The Gus took turns attempting to demolish each other's cute little fingers in the drawers of Curt's dresser. The carnage was NOT captured on

Dessert with Dr. B

We went to gelato with Gary, Anne and Camille tonight. The company and the dessert were both great fun. Camille is turning out to be quite the photogenic baby. She snuggled me like I was made of teddy bear stuffing, too. Curt was in fine spirits, always a plus. Camille, looking adorable: ...And an action shot: Where's the gelato, you ask? I ate it.

The Punnett square says that the chances of Curt having blue eyes are low, as both his mother and I have brown eyes. His blue blue blue eyes are gorgeous, and I hope they stick around, though T's mother swears up and down that hers changed very late... around 9 months. At least I have photographic evidence if they do change. I love how much personality he has now. No more infant poker-face.

Oh! Who Am I? Uh..., why am I here? Damn uppity newcomers. I've been putting free form text on the web since I got my first account. It was 1995 and I hated the world, or at least Philadelphia. Had to type it in HTML using a terminal, running pico off a very slow vax box. You couldn't cut and paste into it because the modem line couldn't take that much data at once. I managed to do it,

The Battle of the Dans Let's just have ourselves a little smarminess contest. In this corner, a funky yet smooooth band named after a dildo. And in this other corner, some guy, we'll call him "Dan," and let him go first: Just for a moment I was back in school. And felt that old familiar pain And as I turned to make my way back home the snow turned into rain. Wait! That was so smarmy, I

Well, my good friend Chuck just switched to Mac. Technically he switched to MacS, because now he's running dual 867 MHz processors. He's been gloating how it hasn't crashed yet. And yet it must be particularly galling to him that there's already a Microsoft product on it. Just when you think you've thumbed your nose at Bill, he wriggles his way into your market segment. Maybe Dar's right.

Breakfast at Milo's. Dinner at Oasis Pizza. Leftover Oasis for breakfast. La Buca for lunch. Hell-o abituale! I'm living the Portland food dream.

My new pet peeve is people writing "lol" about their own comment.

For those of you who don't necessarily partner with synergy, there's a new level of crass in town. Demotivational posters for all your needs.

You know you've got an ounce of cool when the young, unwashed hipster behind the counter at Music Millenium approves of your choices. Susan Tedeschi, because of the voice, and Steely Dan's Aja, you know, for sheer production quality. To which said unwashed hipster replied, "Word." I suppose the best thing about the trip was that, besides picking up one of the best-produced albums of our

Sometimes I think: Words... don't come easy.

There are nerds, and then there are übernerds. I dabble in nerdery (nerdition? nerditude? nerdtia?). My friend, Matt has been struggling to come up to speed in this overclocked and benchmarked society. He now has a P4 2.4GHz 512M (2100ddr) system with a mostly badass video card. We started the project last weekend, and encountered nothing but spontaneous hard resets, and seriously

It's always a little sad to watch a young one's dreams come true in the most mundane and disappointing of ways. We saw 8 Mile with Matty and Trina last night, and a certain someone was feeling let down afterward. Kudos to Eminem, though, for cashing in early on his overexposure. The movie goes as follows: plucky white boy rages against the black mid-90's hip-hop machine and comes out on top.

Old stuff here. As long as it stays up. Look! I'm embracing the ephemeral nature of the medium!
