D drinks canned carrot juice. No, not carrot juice that comes in a can, but the juice from canned carrots. And green beans.

I can't STAND canned carrots and beans, and the juice?! Forget it! So gross.

He's an odd child.

He'll try just about anything (like his dad, not his uber-picky mom.) Before he had much in the way of solids, when he was barely crawling, he discovered salsa unattended. HUGE hit. He'd dip handfuls out and shove it in his mouth. And it was the hot kind!

He even tried crocodile (alligator?) at the meat'n'three my brother loves.

Sushi, however is a no go. He ordered it once, insistently. After one bite, he rejected it. My brother told him he orders, he eats. So he did. And it all came back up 10 minutes later. So my brother now has had to revise the eating out rules.

But if you're wanting to drop off French couture for Matilda you just might have to see her in person.

Yes, that is why I was asking (although it's summery and size 18 months so I suppose it can wait).

Also: I was in North Beach yesterday and decided that you, me, Juliana, Matilda and JZ need to go to this place called Melt. Traditional Fondue! (Also Welsh Rarebit) It looks super Neuchfatel.

This is also a good plan!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Congrats GG and family-of-brother-of-GG! (And, dude, perfect excuse for a trip to Scotland if there ever was one!)

Yay new baby!

I totally outed my brother as a slacker at a seminar today. I'd sent him an email entitled "resale value" knowing full well he'd think it referred to a car or computer. The contents referred to my head now having a resale value. He started laughing in the middle of the hall.

Art Crawl!!!

Congrats GG on impending auntdom! And amych is so totally right. It's only natural that you go to Scotland in '09!

Did you guys know that this year is the International Year of the Potato?

I celebrated with French Fries.

Mmmmm. . .

Frat Boy Next Door arrest update: a reporter for the student paper knocked on our door to see if we'd heard anything. She said there was a drug-suspicious package and the police arrested the guy who signed for it. Which, okay, but leg shackled?

Thanks sarameg and sumi!

I have 4 nephews and 3 nieces from my half brother and half sister; however, John is my full brother so this baby is a little special. Not that I don't love my other nieces and nephews!

I am officially starting the "Please send GG to Scotland fund" with the 27 cents I found on the floor in my classroom/theatre today.

Wait, what? The Comical actually sends reporters out into the field, rather than just putting their bylines on press releases? and was it my ex-student who stopped showing up for work because she was too busy working for the paper, in which case, go her, but don't tell my boss I said so?
