Funny joke

May 15th, 2008

I drove M to school today. (It’s a short drive, but the weather was yucky, and I was continuing on to work.) As she sometimes does, she locked the door from the inside. Her teacher met us at the curb, and I went around to open the door - which was still locked. Miriam was inside, looking at her teacher, and laughing - delighted with the joke, and sharing it with someone she likes.

Lookit

May 13th, 2008

Walking to school, pushing M in the jogging stroller, through a little bit of woods near a brook. A rabbit ran across the path, and M - completely unprompted - says “Lookit the bunny”!

What a relief

May 12th, 2008

M’s glaucoma surgery seems to have worked (knock wood).

The surgery was a couple weeks ago. She took it like a champ, as usual. (Poor kid has had something like 15 procedures under general anaesthesia already.) We’ve had a series of follow-up visits, and the doctor always says “Looks good”. I figured “Looks good” meant “Well, we don’t need an emergency procedure yet.” But this time, “Looks good” meant “I don’t need to see you again for over a month.” And that, in turn, means “looks good”.

Sounds good.

Restart

I loaded up this software 2.5 years ago, wrote a few posts, and dropped it. But I’ve recently upgraded the software - the old posts are still there - so let’s restart and see how things go.
