Yom huledet sameach, Amitai!
And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Happy birthday, PiBaby! Your huge smiles brighten up my day whenever I'm lucky enough to see pictures of them.
And congratulations to Juliana and M!

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Happy Birthday, PiBaby!
Congratulations, Juliana and Martin!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Steven Pinker says that babies essentially teach themselves to think (with some help by parents who talk a lot to and around the baby) and "it's the most amazing intellectual feat that a human ever does in its lifetime."
Hippo birdies, Amitai!
Unrelatedly, I ran across a FoaF on Facebook named Lee Perkins, and had to double-check who that was, just in case.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's true! Babies are awesome.
And PiBaby is a year old! We'll have to start calling him PiToddler now.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Heh. So a PiToddle is when PiToddler takes 3.14 steps....

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy birthday, sweet PiBoy!
And I keep being grateful that we were so lucky in that biggest-luck-of-the-draw ever
I don't know about this. Seems to me that what family you get born into, who it is that you'll be spending those crucial and amazing first few years with, may be an even bigger luck-of-the-draw. In which case, he drew a magnificent royal flush.
