Happy birthday, Clara! You have the same name as my much-loved grandmother.

Where did the babies go? They're all growed up. Still cute, though.

Man, those kids have gotten big! And adorable-er.

I think maybe the stroller/carseat combo may be a UAB thing. Or an Alabama thing, given the number of billboards for parenting hotlines and the like. It does give me a bit of pause. Though the state kid insurance program is ridiculous. It requires the child be uninsured for 3 months. Which is just wrong.

All in all, just weird.

Took the kids to the McWane center (a hands-on kids' activity museum- exploratorium like) which was a lot of fun. Visited my brother's lab, scared his boss with the childrens, went out to lunch with his labmate and met some of his former labmates. It was fun. If unbelievably hot. Did I mention walking 10+ blocks in 100 F? And my brother's car has no a/c? Came back and hid from the heat making aquariums and fish, excuse me, eels and pirhanas, out of legos.

I've got probably 30 minutes before the brood starts stirring, so I need to go back upstairs and prep a bottle.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Happy Birthday Clara!

Callaluna, since you always do fiction, do you want to continue in that vein? Three Junes isn't really light but it's very beautiful and easy going down.

In nonfiction, I find Jen Lancaster's books hysterical.

Man endures thumb surgery to better enable iPhone use

The North Denver News reports that Thomas Martel, 28, of Bonnie Brae, Colorado recently underwent “whittling” thumb surgery to better enable him to use the iPhone.

Thomas Martel, 28, of Bonnie Brae is a big guy. So he has a hard time using the features on ever-shrinking user interfaces on devices like his new iPhone. At least, he did, until he had his thumbs surgically altered in a revolutionary new surgical technique known as “whittling.”

“From my old Treo, to my Blackberry, to this new iPhone, I had a hard time hitting the right buttons, and I always lost those little styluses,” Martel tells reporter James Bently. “Sure, the procedure was expensive, but when I think of all the time I save by being able to use modern handhelds so much faster, I really think the surgery will pay for itself in ten to fifteen years. And what it’s saving me in frustration - that’s priceless.”
