Yoga, revisited

I was inspired by Jade Park’s posts on yoga
to start practicing again. Yesterday morning I did about 2/3 of the primary (Ashtanga) series, and felt so much better afterward. I’ve been so stiff from all the walking, sitting at my computer and lying in bed sick, and it felt fantastic to stretch again. Amazingly, [...]

Other blogs

I wanted to mention a couple new blogs that I really like. One is Steam Kettle Parents a beautifully written and insightful blog about parenting by a friend of friends of mine. The other, Million Dollar Ideas, written by my colleague Gerry Jones (NOT the Gerard Jones of Everyone Who’s Anyone fame) is wonderfully innovative [...]

The mundane update

And now for the mundane update! Shea is four months, and he’s rolling over, laughing and grabbing onto his feet. We had some pictures taken of him today, which I’ll post once we get them. I already mentioned that we started feeding him rice cereal last week, and he seems to like it. Today I [...]

At the intersection of parenthood and art

I’ve been thinking lately about what my blog is about, or should be about. I feel like it needs a theme instead of just my ramblings about what exercise class I took this week, etc. But then I realized that in a way it does have a theme, which is how to balance writing and [...]

You may be an Obama supporter if you drink Izze drinks (yes), use olive oil (yes) and shop at your local farmer’s market (no).
You may be a McCain supporter if you [...]

At four months, we pet the cat

This picture cracks me up. Lately Shea has been rolling over, laughing sometimes (not very often), squealing a LOT and drooling even more. His favorite toys are the O-ball, this bunny-rattle thing he has and the little blue dog he sleeps with at night. We fed him rice cereal for the first time on [...]

Photos, finally

Here are some recent pictures of Shea.
