What we've been up to

Nothing much, really. As evidenced in this new video:

Socal and Norcal

Just a quick note to say “Hi!” from California. Azure’s bunkered down in LA with family & I’m up at the Googleplex in Mountain View for a few days.

Emmie was pretty good on the flight over — she slept just long enough for me to sneak in a viewing of ‘Talledaga Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby’, a film which seemed expressly designed for airplane viewing. Her brief kip wasn’t much, though, and Em had gone completely nutty by the time we finally landed. I’ve never seen her so punchy, wobbly and manic as when she toddled her way out of the plane last Saturday.

We’d gate-checked our stroller, and wound up waiting outside the jetway for a good fifteen minutes. There was an old security guard on duty, and you could tell that Em had him just a bit conflicted — she was cute as a button, but every one of her behaviors (an inability to walk a straight line without falling, loud and insistent babbling, the undue interest in pushing the airport wheelchair, and her refusal to surrender her beverage container) matched the classic ‘Problem Passenger’ profile.

  • Need a sniglet for this here feeling of trepidation/dread after wolfing down a post-midnight (Pike) street-vendor hotdog. "Nachtwurstangst"?

  • Kindle'd "And Another Thing...". So far, the reading experience has been like watching good movie with bad dubbing.
