I believe the Rolling Stones have a song to this effect.
07.12.09 | Permalink | 4 CommentsYesterday 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 she asked [...]

Choose your own adventure: Wattses’ pizza toppings
06.16.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsAround here we LOVE pizza. It’s Zoe’s number one request for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack most days. Frozen, make our own, or restaurant-bought, we definitely eat our share. Roughly twice a week, it goes something like this: Me, realizing it’s getting late and we probably ought to eat something, sucking up my feeling of [...]

Surprise!
06.09.09 | Permalink | 2 CommentsFriday night I showed up on Amanda’s doorstep, and if she wasn’t surprised, she fooled me – I loved seeing her face and watching her jump up and down and squeal. After our hellos we decided to go in search of dinner. We walked to Vortex to split the Double Coronary burger – a ridiculous [...]

Start spreadin’ the news!
05.26.09 | Permalink | 5 CommentsIt’s transition time, and a lot is happening. One incredibly exciting development is that my sister is moving to New York in two weeks! I’m thrilled for her. It is going to be so awesome. I take a page from her book all the time – the get-up-and-go, can-do attitude is contagious, and when I’m [...]

Domesticity, or, GetMeOuttaHere
01.12.09 | Permalink | 3 CommentsApproximately sixteen hours ago, I was so moved by the uncharacteristic quiet calm in our home that I tweeted. I thought I was being clever. Later Joel would chastise and blame me for precipitating the cascade of events that followed. After waking to an alarm this morning in an effort to get ourselves up during [...]

I could learn a lot from Zoe…
One of my many favorite things about Zoe right now is her expressiveness. She is talking so much and showing more of her personality at every turn. She seems to feel things intensely but doesn’t hang on too long. Her manners impress me. We have mini conversations all day, and I love it. Though her [...]

Alive and studying
10.02.08 | Permalink | 4 CommentsI apologize for my twelve-day absence. On the request of a couple of readers, I will add Blogging Blake to my list of Blakes when the multiplicity mission is accomplished. In the mean time, one can probably find the original Blake in one of two places: the lecture hall or an LRC study room. Zoe’s [...]

Homeward Bound
09.20.08 | Permalink | 9 CommentsA few weeks ago, Chief and Sarge were placed into a new home. This decision was made after much consideration, mostly painful. On our list of pros and cons, the only pros were that 1. I loved them, and 2. They acted as good Hoovers when Zoe dropped food. As heavily as those weighed, the [...]
