We *may* have spent part of the day yesterday (when the ice giant Ymir visited Albany and bedecked the land with a frosty dollop, leaving us trapped inside, huddling together for warmth) unwrapping Christmas presents early. We did this because (a) it doesn’t make much sense to drag everything down with us to Rhode Island, [...]

Halloween has come and gone, and Dwyeropolis is still laden-down with sweet, sweet candy. We may have slightly overestimated the number of trick-or-treaters who would brighten (or darken?) our lintel. And by “slightly”, I mean “by an order of magnitude”. So, the bleak loneliness of my existence has been laid bare. But on the plus [...]
The Beagles Have Landed
Posted in Angus, Calvin, Milestones, Sarah on July 27, 2008 | 2 Comments »
We have arrived in Rensselaer. At the moment we’re just hanging out, waiting for the movers to catch up to us. Cal is very fond of having an almost entirely carpeted living space, though his feelings towards the two flights of stairs are somewhat more mixed (as mine will no doubt be soon, once you-know-who [...]

…but Texas wants her anyway.

Watch out Williamsburg: there’s a new hipster in town, and she’s armed with an appropriately vintage hoodie (and a love of the oeuvre of Wes Anderson):
The hoodie in question used to be Sarah’s from when she was a baby:

In case you weren’t aware of it, there is a lot of fun (and insanity!) to be had here, here and here. If I didn’t have a baby, you now know what I’d be doing during the long days in Yankeeland.

Seymour Skinner:
Superintendent, I hope you’re ready for mouth-watering hamburgers.
Superintendent Chalmers:
I thought we were having steamed clams.
Seymour Skinner:
Oh, no, I said steamed hams. That’s what I call hamburgers.
Superintendent Chalmers:
You call hamburgers steamed hams?
Seymour Skinner:
Yes, it’s a regional dialect.
Superintendent Chalmers:
Uh-huh. What region?
Seymour Skinner:

Superintendent Chalmers:
