"Make no little plans; they have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will themselves not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die." --Daniel Burnham
Ryan John is with us! My third and perhaps final baby is here, and he's wonderful. One day I'll have to document the series of amazing physicological events that have to take place for one of these creatures to be realized. Yes its 'simply' procreation, but the fact that so much has to go right in sequence really gives me pause.
Christmas in NY. A wonderful time, but I am afraid we will not see the city this go around. With a new baby in town, there simply is too much risk in taking he boy to the city. I guess we could drive in, park, see the tree, and then bail. Its more work than people not from here realize. For one thing, parking is not a given. Then, its in the teens today, with the threat of snow. Finally, we won't be able to walk around much if at all with the new one, so what is the point of going? Its a tough call.
What goes for entertainment these days has pushed me to go away from the TV and go to the internet, gaming, and for my commute the courses that I love from
teach12.com . Their quality of classes is so good you almost feel like your there in an Ivy league classroom.
I sometimes wonder how wise it is to put everything under my name here. It makes it easy for people to find me and things about me. But should I cower? Should I hide in anonimity? Why not show up in someone's google search one day, sharing something that would appear on this site, a small piece of knowledge or opinion? Employers, family, everyone can now know what I really think. Shouldn't this honesty be the way? What about Identity theives ? Well, I don't have my address on here, but that wouldn't be hard to get. Privacy is mostly an illusion anyway.....
Merry Christmas!
