We both had an insatiable yet unvoiced desire to do it alfresco, so we
trudged outside under the radiant lumes of a full moon and sat under a

Our 6 year old lost her very first tooth this week.  It was really a
momentous thing!  The tooth was almost out and we finally braved the
final pull.  She was quite upset to see blood coming out but all of a

I was with my daughter at the farmers market yesterday and twice passed
a sign that said "All This Because Two People Fell in Love!"  I was
pleased with it... looking at my 10 year old daughter and thinking about

Went up to hospital yesterday for 2:30. Eye ward was very quiet - one
elderly gentleman ahead of me - who kept coughing lolol!! Got called in
for surgery bit after 4pm.

this week. When he was done, I was unable to access the internet and after
an hour on the phone with Comcast and another 30 min with a guy from his
work, I decided to figure out how to fix things myself. ...

I may have the chance to visit London with a friend of mine for a
weekend sometime in early summer, something I very much look forward to.
As always, this depends very much on the costs. Thanks to all those
cheap airlines, the flight itself will be very lowcost (but safe, so I
