  I’m studying again. Block 3 this time. And as usual with these stressful times, illness threatens us.
  To procrastinate I just wanted to update here. Zoe has been ill lately, and after three antibiotic shots from the doctor this week (in lieu of liquid medicine, which she absolutely refuses to take, clamps down [...]

  Amidst exams

  I thought I would post a little something to say I am alive and well. Today we took the gross anatomy written and practical exams. Not bad, not bad. The keys aren’t up yet, but I’m feeling pretty good about it. Dr. Cleary alluded to some “character builders” among the questions, but [...]

  Hello, again!

  I promised myself going back to school that I would cut down on the tweeting, facebooking, and general internet piddling. Weekly Flickr and blog posts were acceptable, but no more. As it happened, I barely uploaded to Flickr and (obviously) posted nothing here. I was significantly less attached to the computer and [...]

  Watching History Channel shows about the moon landing got us thinking and talking. We probably will see a manned mission to Mars in our lifetime.
  Me: Oooh, but it’s cold there!
  Joel: Well, yeah.
  Me: It’s not the kind of place you raise your kids.
  Joel, getting it: In fact, it’s cold as hell…
  Most of our knowledge of Mars [...]

  I believe the Rolling Stones have a song to this effect.

  Yesterday Zoe woke up around 9:00 AM. We played, cooked, played some more, swam, played, bathed, and played. At one point in the mid-afternoon I thought I might die from exhaustion and took a 20 minute break on the couch in a twilightish stupor, never falling asleep, but it was enough that when [...]

  Sleep-deprived ramblings about sleep

  07.12.09 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  I have come to the conclusion that Zoe just does not require the same amount of sleep as most other kids.
  Here’s what happened last night. After a long, no-nap day, she went to sleep at 9:30 PM – very, very early by our standards. She woke up at 5 AM, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. [...]

  I guess so.

  Whenever we part with someone, Zoe says her goodbyes, and after the door is closed or they walk away, she says, “Well, I guess so!”
  When we’re chatting in the elevator and someone exits on his or her floor, it’s, “Well! I guess so!” After saying goodbye to her Gigi and the car door closes, [...]
