Exactly correct. In this way, I've always thought of babies as just like tech support. You just have to troubleshoot down the list until you hit on the right solution.

And sometimes they just need a "restart" — let them cry themselves to sleep and then later they'll wake up happier.]]> Thursday, December 23, 2010 07:15 PM Friday, November 5, 2010 02:17 PM Monday, November 8, 2010 10:10 AM Saturday, April 3, 2010 01:01 PM Monday, March 15, 2010 09:38 PM Sunday, March 14, 2010 03:18 PM
We're thinking it's time to start saving up money to do the whole nine yards - a French drain all around the outside walls and a sump pump in the back corner. Sadly I suspect the sump alone wouldn't be much good as the floor is not at all level, or even sloped in one direction; water pools in multiple spots.]]> Tuesday, March 16, 2010 07:50 AM Tuesday, March 16, 2010 09:10 AM
Don't worry, I'm sure there will be many baby pictures available. :)]]> Tuesday, March 16, 2010 09:28 AM

Also, it's totally cool that the ultrasound didn't reveal his superpower-indicating horns & tail... he will have other superpowers.

ALSO, hooray for a growing, squirming, healthy little dude!! Much love to him. And you guys too. :)]]> Wednesday, October 21, 2009 09:24 PM Thanks! Despite his lack of horns, I'm sure he will be \m/
Also, he will have mind powers.]]> Wednesday, October 21, 2009 09:29 PM Wednesday, October 21, 2009 09:47 PM Wednesday, October 21, 2009 10:26 PM Wednesday, October 21, 2009 11:24 PM Wednesday, October 21, 2009 11:42 PM Friday, October 9, 2009 07:41 PM Friday, October 9, 2009 09:02 AM

Point 2: Television is magic! But for me, even crazier is airplane travel. As you know I fly a lot for work and every single time I'm hurtling through the sky in that big metal tube, I get sort of freaked out (in a good way) in utter amazement that it's even happening. Especially during takeoff...I just stare out the window, fascinated that the plane is leaving the Earth's surface.

Point 3: Also awful are those free credit report commercials...totally scammy. It's general common knowledge that everyone is entitled to one free credit report per year, but a lot of people don't know that the proper way to do it is to go to the websites of one of the three major credit reporting companies and follow the links from there. Those commmercials cash in on that and get people (usually people with not a lot of money knowledge in the first place) hooked into their paid services. Yuck.

Point 2: ]]> Friday, August 21, 2009 10:41 AM 2: Agreed. Reminds me of that Louis CK routine: "You're sitting in a chair in the sky!"
3: Agreed again. Although I do love the FreeCreditReport.com songs. :)]]> Friday, August 21, 2009 10:56 AM

Yes, we did try Vonage. We were a little disappointed with the quality and reliability, and with the fact that it would just crap out when the power went out. But if Verizon isn't like that, it's all good.

Yes, we should definitely see you next weekend! Hooray!]]> Friday, August 8, 2008 09:50 AM
Tim: Wow! Thanks very much for all the information! I'm a little disappointed about the VoIP thing, as poppy and I had that for a while and didn't care for it. But I think I'm probably going to call up today or tomorrow and schedule our installation. I've complained about Comcast long enough. (And in fact, I have another new complaint about Comcast: for the past few days our internet has been down intermittently.) Hopefully Verizon will be more reliable.]]> Thursday, August 7, 2008 09:37 AM
the big minus for me is giving any more money to verizon, whom i hate with a glowing passion. they have severely under-staffed their repair department and, as you have heard me say before, absolutely suck at providing service if something ever goes wrong. they've sunk a lot of money into fios though so they might be more prompt in dealing with fios issues than in old-fashioned landlines.]]> Wednesday, August 6, 2008 09:33 PM Wednesday, August 6, 2008 10:31 PM Friday, July 25, 2008 09:32 AM Thursday, July 24, 2008 03:23 PM Tuesday, November 27, 2007 01:31 PM Tuesday, November 27, 2007 08:43 AM Monday, October 11, 2004 07:03 AM Sunday, October 10, 2004 03:53 AM

Super Tarzan: I think it's already a paradox. Because if she got the idea from me talking about it having happened, than how did she get the idea in the first place? That's a circular chain of events with no beginning. Makes no sense to me. That's why I always found the plot of Terminator a little bothersome.

It was hard for me to drive to and park in Philly, so I am also glad that you are not there. Too, that janitor guy was creepy, as we all know.

However, luckily for you, your comment was preserved by my database. Here it is, in all its glory:

"I was always very good at standardized testing. Essays, too. I hate that they removed analogies from the SAT. What an excellent way to prove one's word comprehension! Not just by knowing straight definitions, but understanding usage and relationships. They have to dumb down the SATs to level up with our dumber students so that no child gets LEFT BEHIND. Pfuh. Testing.
