Wow. I want to be a music reviewer. Then I can write nonsense like this review of Liz Phair’s new album. I can really tell if the reviewer doesn’t like the album or not. Some choice bits: But you can’t always get what you want. And if you try sometimes, you just might find you’ve […]

If you’ve never been to the little cafe behind Enrico’s Biscotti in the Strip District, go there immediately and have lunch. Jen and I were turned on to this place over the winter by a couple of friends, and a week rarely passes when we don’t have lunch there. Simple Italian fare — pizzas, sandwiches, […]

The NFL’s Chicago Bears are now officially sponsored by Bank One. Yes, that’s right….Bears football is “brought to you by Bank One.” Many people will decry this is commercialization of yet another pastime (as if football isn’t commercialized as is), but take a look at the football (soccer) clubs in Europe. These club teams are […]

I don’t what I think about this…..Liz Phair releasing an album on Capitol Records. Sorta disappointing that the indie queen is selling her soul to the man. But…I was already disappointed to see that Matador was a member of the RIAA, so I guess her jump to the big leagues isn’t quite as shocking….

Had my very first father’s day yesterday. Didn’t get a gift from Seb, but lots of people went out their way to wish me a happy’s father’s day. Crazy. Seb is continuing to become more like a little person everyday. He’s smiling quite a bit now, and on Saturday he even managed to flip himself […]

More violence in the West Bank. Good to see that this new push for peace is working. Why is the US involved here? This is a long-standing feud between two groups for a piece of land that both believe is God-given. The average American (and American politician) can’t even wrap their head around how complicated […]

It’s really amazing how quickly the boy develops. Just over the weekend, he became a little more aware of what was happening around him. He was looking at things with conviction — actually taking in what he was looking at. He also started to *talk* a bit….coos and grunts and whatnot. Then yesterday he became […]

Had a bit of poopy day yesterday…an old consulting project reared its ugly head, and I’ve had to say no, sorry, I can’t help you right now. There aren’t enough hours in my day. I was feeling pretty crummy, but something pretty amazing happened. We had dinner with the in-laws, then went home. I was […]

Lil Seb got to meet some of our climbing friends last night at the shop. It good to see a bunch of our friends again….. Saw something really, really silly yesterday on a little lunchtime walk around Squirrel Hill. Some kid had an Audi A4 tricked out to look like an S4, including all the […]

Seb has now decided that sleep is optional. He’s been eating more often (more and likely a *growth spurt*), and sleeping less at night. This equates to less sleep for me, and even less sleep for Jen. We’ve decided to no longer try and *put him to bed* and just let him fall asleep in […]
