Mario Bros and Toad costumes for Halloween

Trick or Treat!

Took the broodling on his first Halloween adventure and walked the neighborhood near my parents’ home. It was a fun reminder of our own childhood, and the weather was cooperative enough to not rain on our parade (it was very humid, though; we were sweating in that getup).

Also known as Children’s Day, but growing up I always recognized it as Boys Day. Girls had their own day on March 3rd.

Fear the Brood!

It’s time for an update since my announcement of impending parenthood back in April!

The broodling arrived early November, at 20-in (50.8 cm) long and a hefty weight of 8 lbs 9.7 oz (3.9 kg), and his name is Harley. He has a middle name of “Hiccup,” because that’s all he’s been doing since 10 weeks in the womb. Not consistently, of course, but at least once per day he’ll have an episode of cute-sounding-but-probably-bothersome hiccup noises.

Filing Dependents Day

Typically today is the deadline for filing IRS tax returns, so despite this year’s extension I still consider it the penultimate life-changing moment that can make or break a person’s financial standing.

It’s all that and more for me at this point, because if all goes well, come late October I will be able to claim a dependent in my household. This cranky crab is going to welcome a broodling.

Vacation III: Better and More Filling

end of article summary
12 October 2010
date decoration

Maile and I, along with my mother-in-law and her boyfriend, planned a road trip through parts of central and southern California. This would be thus far the longest vacation I’ve ever had away from home, as well as the most extensive; over 5 cities across a span of 2 weeks. I had never been to many of the locations on our itinerary, or hadn’t visited there in over 2 decades.
