I don’t know if it’s because we ask her to repeat herself when we don’t quite get what she’s saying, or if it’s just fun, but Zoey loves to pretend that she can’t hear us. She’ll stare right in my face, usually after I’ve told her something she doesn’t want to hear (like "You asked [...]
Yep, we have all been sick for a long time now… I caught the cold/cough thing going around. I gave it to Zoey… Evan got a little bit of it and then went straight for the flu. Zoey developed hives from drinking Odwalla’s C-Monster juice. Evan got a super bad ear infection and now I [...]
The broken Powerbook is on its way back to Apple, and in theory the replacement MacBook Pro is or will soon be on its way to us. Today I was canceling the AppleCare warranty on the Powerbook in order to get back the prorated amount for the year remaining on the warranty. I noticed in [...]

I always wonder a bit about that—if it smells that great from inside a car, driving past the corner shop [...]
For Thanksgiving we had all four Hesses (Brian, Jen, Thyrza, and Barrett) and Auntie Bonnie come over, for a yumtastic, relaxing good time. Can I say yumtastic? Apparently I can. We roasted a turkey with Italian sausage/apple stuffing (featuring a loaf of French bread and a loaf of garlic sourdough), the Hesses brought terrific sour [...]
My computer finally died. It wouldn’t even boot up on Sunday. It is in the shop currently. We have had all kinds of interesting electrical challenges of late. Mercury is still in retrograde… our TIVO freaked out and restarted itself 3 times while we were in the midst of watching something. We have had two [...]
Zoey has now figured out that she has the power to come out of her room after waking up from naps and in the morning. That now includes going to sleep at night. She came out of her room about 5 times last night. I finally ended up closing her door completely shut (usually we [...]
