Thanks, everyone. He's cute in just about every picture so I generally go with the ones where I don't look like hell or he's by himself. My wife is photogenic but I take maybe one photo to every twenty she takes so there aren't nearly as many of her to choose from.
P-C, I don't know if you've read it, but telling someone that he's placing too much emphasis on race in a discussion of Absalom, Absalom! is akin to watching the first three seasons of Buffy & commenting, "I think you're making too much of the high school is hell metaphor" or watching Angel & saying, "You're too hung up on his guilty conscience." Can't remember if I decided that he wasn't worth talking to or if the month ended and the book changed.
OMG, Joe! You're a daddy!
Does he have a nickname, or is it always the full "Thelonious"?
"Moby Dick is a whaling textbook, why do you keep babbling about 'obsession' and 'fate'?"
Beautiful beautiful baby.
Liese, thanks for filling newbies like me in on the deets.
Hi Buffistas! I bought Gothic Charm School today and reading the acknowledgments made me realize how much I miss you so I thought I'd come say hello.
Kiba! Even though I see you all over the internets, it's lovely to see you *here*.
Judean People's Front?
People's Front of Judea!

That was good times. Crashed in the boys' room. You & Jon were good roomies. Plus! The purchase of the silver pleather sex jacket!
I also have met Gudanov, katefate, & Steph L. in person in their various cities along my east-west travel route.
(Oh, and javachik, you're totally not a newbie!)
Well goodness gracious, Kiba! Long time. Not that you'd know me under this name. Once upon a LONG time ago, I posted as Renegade.
Joe, congrats on your son! He's beautiful!
It's neat to be reminded of/discover the life changes that have taken place over the years.

Oh, the dinner of the Inexplicable Fire Alarm that the waiter of another table said could be going off for any number of reasons...but never mentioned that it could, in fact, be BECAUSE OF A FIRE.
The Boy is still sad he didn't get to kick out the window and dive out onto Fountain Square.

You've had an amazing year, and it's been cool to witness it.
Aw, thanks. It's been fun to live! (duh)
