papa’s got a brand new flag
… and one that’s slightly more appropriate than that “other” flag we’ve been flying recently. -
comprehension
sparklet’s comprehension is becoming a problem.the lady sparkler and i were talking about needing bread, and that one of use would have to “run out” to heller’s bakery. within two minutes, sparklet had gotten us our shoes, our phones, our wallets, her shoes and was heading towards her stroller.
i guess it’s time to start spelling “o-u-t” instead of saying the word…

flexday: mount pleasant, d.c.
it’s the most wonderful time of the year again — when summer flex hours start, and good conservationists get every other Friday off.a couple months ago, the lady and i were looking for photographs of mount pleasant to hang on our walls when i realized that i hadn’t taken any — like none in the four years i’ve been here, outside of a couple batches from snowstorms.
so, during my flex days this year i’m going to spend some time wandering around the neighborhood.
this week i knocked off all of ingleside, 18th and 19th streets, most of lamont street and half of newton. map of the route here, and photos below.

after a couple minutes of non-verbal grunting, the lady figured out that sparklet wanted her to take the doll’s clothes off — which she did.
sparklet then grabbed her (now naked) doll, ran to the bathroom, and held the doll over the toilet.
i think she might be trying to tell us something.
