Congrats to Sally & Sanjay on their just-born baby boy – Hanuman Buta Vakil. ~8 lbs. They looked to be in great shape only a few hours after his birth. The only downside was that they had to leave the Star Wars: Episode II line to go to the hospital. Wait, that’s not a downside…
What's been on my mind lately? Read on...
This game looks like tons of fun, and will be played in our household soon. Wanna come over?
The calipers are nearing completion – yesterday’s progress included making some caps out of walnut for the locking/unlocking screw, and today I used the sandblaster at work to put a nice looking finish on the aluminum jaws. I need to mount some hardware on the caps, stain them, and drill a few holes in the jaws. Soon, I say…
Frisbee tournament this weekend. Craft day, too. Busy.
In spite of the new name, Love Child won it’s first game last night – woohoo! It was quite amazing, actually, to all play together and feel like we really could win quite handily. Our cheer wasn’t the best, but it sufficed:
The first game of the season,
we drew Baboon Heart.
Mind you, not drawn with a pencil,
But it’s a good way to start.The rain held off,
The fields were soft,
The goose shit was, too,
We had fun playing you.
Off to NYC today, for a family-filled weekend of fun.
The frisbee team is called “Love Child”, based on the movie Gattaca. Oh well. We’ve got our first game tonight in Cambridge. It’s possible we’ll be ready.
Got my bike fixed and now it’s commuter-riffic. In an effort to not be so pitifully out of shape, I’ll be biking to work more.
Off to NYC this weekend to dance, see grandparents and see jewelry.
Rif & Anna came up with an awesome name for the frisbee team (though they happen not to play with us) – Moby Flick. I’ve never run across a team by that name (for that matter, neither has Google). Hope the rest of the team likes it…
I’ve been getting more in to bonsai & horticulture stuff at home. Miracle of miracles, I haven’t killed any houseplants in quite a few years. My old roommate, Sarah, would be proud (or just bitter, since I managed to do in at least one or two of her plants when she went on vacation a few years ago).
