When Evie and Ethan were born we entered into the several-week period known as the Zone of No Sleep — for Mommy, since she was breast-feeding. After that, we too had to teach our children to sleep on their own. Parenthetical to counter the inevitable cries of “Where were you, …
Last night we had our official record release gala at IOTA and everything went swimmingly. The band even backed the completely fabulous Edie Carey for a few songs. Rich and I had wanted to do this for some time, since hearing her at a previous show, and both of us …
Just in case you hadn’t gotten one of my many spam emails, the band is having its record release party tomorrow (Sunday) night at 8:00 p.m. at the IOTA Club in Arlington. Our very special opening guest is the lovely and incredibly talented Edie Carey. If you don’t have her …
Part of the time I’ve been goofing around, but the system is back up and working nominally at this point, so I’m calling it done. There’s always little things to deal with as they come up, but that shouldn’t be a problem. Eleya’s PDA is even syncing again properly! I …

Hey Bastien, I bought one of these for my wife, so it wouldn’t be fair to guess here, I suppose. But you’ll be happy you have one, once you get hot oil involved. *snicker*
Tonight we’re having a birthday party for Evie, and we finally got smart and set it up at a restaurant instead of having the house overrun with munchkins. Here’s a picture of the beautiful birthday girl! I can’t believe she’s going to be five already. It’s just unthinkable.
Eleya and I bundled the kids up early this evening to head out to a St. Patrick’s Day party hosted by some friends in town, and we all had a super-fantastic time. There was a babysitter on the premises (in the basement) to watch over the little ones while the …
