What's on your mind today?

[Sandra Craft]

They always say that the new baby won't change anything, they'll still love you just as much but it's not true, it's never true. 

Yeah, all Ali's time that was usually spent on us will now go to catnapping.  On the other hand, sweet baby face pictures!

Today I am under instructions to be on my very, very, very best behaviour.
It is my grandson's christening.
It's totally cultural and an excuse for a huge booze up afterwards.
My wife and youngest daughter have both told me they will both resort to physical violence should the word 'atheist' leave my mouth today!

Except when you shout it out to drown out the vicar's mumbo-jumbo.  Have fun and don't get too bladdered.

Ali, Ali, Ali! Congrats!
Aieeee!
I've been having some serious baby-fever lately, so you need to send me pictures of his/her cute little wrinkly newborn face when he/she is born.
Squeeeee!!

Haha DJ, in my experience pictures of wrinkly newborn faces only makes baby fever worse....but I will be happy to oblige.

I'm hoping that living vicariously will be enough -- My sister-in-law is also pregnant and I'm sure that I will be abducting their wee one on more than one occasion for a baby-fix.

We had a wedding in a Catholic church yesterday. The handy thing about having a toddler is that they make an excellent excuse for ducking out of the church during the group prayer/eucharist bits.

Congratulations, Ali!

We need video of this.  You know, just to make sure you were on your best behavior.

After talking a week off, I have to go back to work today.     However, Saturday, my husband and I hit the road for a few hours.  We had plans to visit one place and the rest of the day was open.  We first went to Onondaga State Park - there's a cave there, but we didn't go in because I'd had a cortisone shot in my knee the day before and wasn't supposed to do that much walking.  The rest of the day we spent visiting a bunch of kitschy tourist sites, like the Jesse James Wax Museum.  It was a lot of fun.  We got home around 4 pm and decided to go out to eat at Gulf Shores Restaurant & Grill - a New Orleans inspired place that we'd never been to before.  We dressed up a bit and had a great time and some excellent food.  It's fun to explore your own area for new stuff to do.

I have decided to challenge myself by creating a website/blog: Economicmarquee(dot)com. I treat socioeconomic issues in it, and have decided to aim for one 2000+ word article a week, and several smaller articles throughout the week. At least once a day. Wish me luck!

I didn't realize you are a Go player. I am as well, though I'm very weak (around 9 or 10 kyu). Maybe sometime we can meet up on KGS or IGS. I also play on Dragon, and have an account on OGS, though I haven't played there in a while.

I haven't played Go for many years. Being grossly deficient in terms of Visiuo-spatial ability I always suffered crushing humiliation at the hands of my opponents. In the spirit of its earlier history I toyed with the idea of rritually disembowelling myself but decided against it on the grounds that it might have upset my mother.

I'm much the same - I loved the game and played a lot, years ago, but I was never very good.
