94.5
its not a temperature or a spot on a radio dial. its a measurement and its a sort of magical on for anna and i right now. 94.5 inches.
in november of 1999, we were on our minimoon up in the north of napa. we were in the market for a winerack, something to hold the once modest collection that has ballooned to over 5 cases in the months leading up to the wedding, as well the 3 cases we'd picked & chosen in the few days since the wedding.

you wont beleive what you're seeing. this is some insane blurring of the digital-meatspace barrier. where does shot-footage end and digital manipulation begin? and more importantly, now that the line at which we tell anymore is finally here, are you ok just going along for the ride? nothing can ever be real anymore if anything can be seamlessly tweeked into a new peice. I like it. I *really* focking like it. But it makes me clammour for some discussion.

jinx, you owe me a cough
back on the 18th of february, i posted here how jude's cough had seemingly dried up and was seeming to enter a period of relative health. Great health, in fact, when factored against the invasion of General Malaise and his army of Boogies. well, i dont consider myself to be a superstitious father, but i swear to (your) bloody god that no sooner did i post that entry did he get struck down once again. all too breif a wander out into the clearing, i suppose, before the thicket of coughs and snot and irritability were to consume him once again? dramatic? whoa: i got it too, and was staring down the business-end of the 4th sinus infection in 6 months. dramatic. oh sure.

panhandle
on the subject of a high profile bachelor party in either Las Vegas..... or New Orleans for JazzFest.
To [BEST MAN]...
ok, YOU know - and everyone herein knows - that EITHER of these geographic choices will afford [GROOMS NAME REMOVED] (and us) a night or 3 we'll not soon forget. But something is also telling me that the overall expenditure to get our asses out to Vegas, laid-up in a nice hotel, 2 nights at Crazy Hor$e, knocked-up with good junk for 2 to 3 nights, bail money for [GROOMSMAN'S NAME REMOVED], gambling juice, and all the other criteria that you OWE Vegas... after all THAT is said & done... i am thinking a flight down south to the god DAMN panhandle of the MISS... to shake mine and all a y'alls' asses for 3 straight days of thick boozy JAM JAZZ... might just be the single BEST itinerary that MOST of us find the sexiest.
I dunno. many its just me. But if we're going to loft [GROOMS NAME REMOVED] up as high as we can, and see him off to the nether-region with memories he'll NEVER be able to communicate to another human being who wasnt there... i mean, if thats why we're doing this... then shouldnt we paint a masterpeice?
I vote LOOSEE ANNA

the cough remains the same
the coughing has become something that we've just acclimated to. it does seem like the frequency of the individual coughing 'fits' have decreased. however, the intensity of the fits have become more gripping, more physically demanding of the lil dood. they are wetter in nature then they've ever been, with us finally making visual confirmation of how productive we know these coughs to be. case in point, we've always seen him chewing something after the coughing fits. but this past weekend (1/29) i saw him expel a fair amount of phlegm at the end of one of his fits.

Sweaty Armpits Deserve Certain Dri
if you lost something you had lived with your entire adult life, you might miss it. even if that same thing represented a long standing source of anger, embarassment, and frustration. you might still miss it. for as embarassing as they are, your armpits are an important element of the Greater You. they may not be the windows into the soul, but they may certainly be the exhaust vents.

created:
January 2000
this is a response to my aunt geri and uncle fred. they were wondering if were had returned from our honeymoon safe & sound. see, geri & fred played a massive role in our honeymoon in that they booted us up to Business Class on the flight there and the flight back. But this response was to be copy pasted to whomever was fool enough to ask what we did for 3 honeymoon weeks down there.

SPEW :: around the world in 88 hours
created:
Sometime in 1995
This was an idea i had for a contest for the wealthy. each contestant had 88 hours to travel the globe. they had to start from and end at the same airport. and they could not spend more then 20 minutes in any airport - which means they must book & purchase travel for ANY flight going their direction.
they could not 'plan' their routes with the assistance of travel agents. they could only book travel a la carte on whatever carrier going to whatever airports along their path around the globe. again, this is a ton of money we're talking about - you have to purchase airfare AT THE GATE basically. And you have 88 hours to get your ass around the world.

Anna and I have many friends that are as loving of the feline as are we. Anna even had her passport picture taken while holding TumbleWeed, a Persian that she used to live with! Although cropped right below the ears, you can still make out that fluffy head.

note:
This was a monumentous idea i had for a coffeetable book on the then emerging art of opening credits. either a book or some other medium. remember, this was 98, before a lot of the self-publishing streams we NOW take for granted even existed. Since then, this new artform has taken a more prominent role in the majour motion picture as a whole. We've seen Kyle Cooper become a player. This is no longer a hot only-whispered topic. Its now old hat. But mark my words: Kyle Cooper will receive the 1st Oscar for the latest category: Best Opening Credits.

coughy drama
Jude is still coughing. Perhaps not as often as he was prior to his regimine of Augmentin and nebuliser*. But not a whole hellova lot less either. The coughing comes in horrible fits, with him rasping out 5 or 6 trio's of wet-sounding hacks, with the last trio ending in what can only be described as a full-body gag. By this time, he is red in the face and watering from the eyes. He is short of breath. Ever seen a small child gasping for breath? It breaks OUR hearts too.

santa babies
a good friend & collegue of mine has been bitten. so damn hard has he been bitten by the blog bug, that he has developed a nasty case of "MustbuildallinCSS" this has caused him to go and create a blog dedicated - no, DEVOTED - to the presentation of those sticky-sweet images you see of children on the Laps of Santa.
And your young hero Archibald Jude has the honour of being the first wee laddy on the site.
So, if you know of, or yourselves have, images of babies on the Laps of Santa, then you are invited to submit a santa baby to the site~!
that is all. carry on.

at first i poured thru the flash thinking this was some geek fathers site for his kids. but the deeper you go, the more you realise that its for a french kids store.
still someone built it, there fore it can be ported & scaled to work for a geeky father to use as a site for his kids. i'm just saying.

there is the slow growth which reveals itself in spurts and moments of realisation. "oh man these pajamas are already too small for him" and then there is the growth where the progress is tangible enough to taste. some of the first hints i've had that i'm dealing with an intelligent being and not some glorified pet was the Cause & Effect reactions he began to develop round about the 2nd month. of course, there was the shallow-slumber, startling-awake, freak-out wake-ups we'd endure when a loud noise was made. then came the smiles.
