Trudy—Debet called me to ask if you could get offline so she can call you.

I love the fact that I'm playing go-between from California for people on the East Coast. Hee!

I have changed my profile address to reflect my new e-mail address. I haven't figured out how to check this address from my mobile phone yet, so if anyone needs to reach me, message me at my mobile AIM address.

I can't even.

Off to the Pennsic War [link] so I'll be dark until I return on Sunday the 21st. Have a great week, everyone!

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Off to San Diego until tomorrow night (yay, Cass!), and expect to be dark.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Fantastic news:

This is Mr. Fiona again.

Our little girl has arrived safely!

Born by caesarean section, Wednesday 10th August at 8:25 am CET. 3150 gr, 51 cm. Name still to be decided.

She would clearly have liked to wait a little longer, but we are relieved that this at times very difficult pregnancy is finally over, and Fiona is happy not to be a walking timebomb any more. Big brother Benno is enjoying his new role.

Fiona is bound to be up and posting soon after she gets back.

Are you ready to be strong?

I got married last night. It was fun! We're flying to Japan today for our honeymoon.

Our daughter and I got home from the hospital yesterday evening. We have decided to call her Clara Mia Helen (and due to German naming laws sadly not, as B. insists, Clara Mia Flower). We're doing well, if rather tired, which is to be expected I suppose. I'll try and get some pictures online soon.
