Going Mobile - The Who



We've been taking the kids out a bit here and there. Here we see the babes ready for brunch yesterday. We took them to Calavino's, a brunch place we like. Here is Calavino, and her partner Doria, holding a sleepy Fisher (who they keep calling "Fitch".)



And here's a picture of Meredith checking out the lattice work at Holy Taco.

The Trifecta

They say the three most stressful things one can do are (a) move, (b) add or lose a family member, and (c) change careers. You've watched on this blog as we built a house, moved, and added two family members. Well, Wednesday, I left Premiere. I've completed the trifecta. Do I get a prize?

Obviously there's a lot to say about the situation that led to my leaving, but I think I'm going to let time and distance have their effect before getting too much into it. But Premiere was VERY generous in their severance, and there are other people who want some part-time help with a few things, so the net result is that I will get to spend this holiday season with my new family. I'm tremendously happy about that!

I also want to start a venture, so stay tuned on that one.

Love and kisses! It's a great day!

Labor Day Weekend

Here's to LABOR UNIONS!

Around, say, 1870, work sucked. Six or seven days a week, twelve hours a day, horrible conditions, etc., etc., etc. Bosses could fire for no reason; workers had no power at all, and bosses routinely abused the situation. Over about a hundred years, the unionization of America fixed those ills and for the most part, the workplace in America is much better for their efforts. We got Saturdays off, too.

But we also got the spare day, once a year, tacked onto the end of this weekend. Woot! Our first family holiday together, we've got Elise's brother John and his whole family, plus Elise's mom. We'll be throwin' down some ribs and chicken and steaks and burgers.

I hope everyone has a great Labor Day!

Kids update: All is well, nothing really to report. They're focusing much better these days, but still they're mostly scream machines.
