our nanny-share has shut down for the week — the nanny’s on vacation — so i’m off this week for some bonding-with-sparklet time. nothing in particular planned, but it’s so #$%^#ing hot that whatever we end up doing, i’m sure it’ll be in doors.

strange how the weather always seem to suck on my weeks off with sparklet.

out: brunch with the talimo’s

brunch with the talimos, our former nanny-share partners and sparklet’s bff. goodness ensued, not limited to jalapeno-cheese scones that were frankly too good for description with the English language.

More photos at taliandmo.com, but frankly we were too busy eating for much photography ….

humanity, pt 2

Aug

2010

Favorite bit of coverage from the Glenn Beck-apalooza being held on the National Mall as we speak:

In a rather curious and confused way, some white people are starting almost to think like a minority, even like a persecuted one.

What does it take to believe that Christianity is an endangered religion in America or that the name of Jesus is insufficiently spoken or appreciated? Who wakes up believing that there is no appreciation for our veterans and our armed forces and that without a noisy speech from Sarah Palin, their sacrifice would be scorned?

It’s not unfair to say that such grievances are purely and simply imaginary, which in turn leads one to ask what the real ones can be. The clue, surely, is furnished by the remainder of the speeches, which deny racial feeling so monotonously and vehemently as to draw attention.

mommy should drink at work more often

the lady sparkler’s office had an early happy hour this afternoon, which meant that (a) she got home early, and (b) that she was really “happy” when she got home — and by “happy” i mean swerving the stroller around like it was a roller coaster.

sparklet was MUCH impressed.

things have fundamentally changed now that sparklet’s seen cows in the wild — being on the “wrong” side of the fence is simply no longer acceptable.
