Easily Amused - Jon Sagara

Happy birthday, Kelly!  Love you!

T was fussing, so Kelly took him for a walk around the block.  He didn't quite make it back:

Spooky.

• The "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks

That is all.

It was a close one, but your hike was slightly more adventurous than mine, oh mysterious Internet stranger with gargantuan gonads:

As I was finishing up at the urinal in the men's room this morning, a coworker walked in and took the stall next to me.  As he walked by, he admonished, "Hey, shake it more than twice, and you're playing with it!"

Had I been thinking clearly at the time, I would have said, "Shake it more than five times, and you're on vacation.  My next vacation is over two months away.  Coincidence?  I think not."

(For the record, I wasn't shaking anything; I was zipping and buttoning.)

Last Saturday I kidnapped my family and whisked them away to Truckee and Tahoe City for the day.  It was windy and chilly... and dead.  It's kind of weird up there this time of year because it's in between the busy skiing and summer vacation seasons.  No one was up there. 

And it was nice.

We've been trying to teach Troy sign language for a long time - probably at least 6 months.  He caught on to the milk sign really quickly, but he never really showed much comprehension of the others.

Until recently, that is.  As you can see in the picture above, he is absolutely enthralled with his Baby Signing Time video, and he is very good at making some signs.  The one he's making above is the "More" sign.  Hopefully he'll keep picking them up and be able to better communicate his needs to us.
