Pumpkin patch

We took Lark to her first pumpkin patch when she was about three months old.  This past week, I took on her on the way home from school, and I think she enjoyed it a lot more now.  Maybe the pumpkin pie flavored Popsicle helped.

The Nati

Got to see Mom and Dad on a quick business trip in the Nati.

Fairies in the woods

Some time in the woods

Check out that guy's face

The chief is thinking about moving back to atlanta.  This is pretty much a dream come true.  Getting to hang out with my best friends, all in one place, is near the top of my list (after having a second kid, but before having a successful exit for my company). 

He interviewed at an agency, and afterward we had a grillout at my house, and the dudes night out at the local Biergarten.

Wish Bloodninja was here, too.

Birthstones

Lark and I planted tickets that she made. Apparently, they will turn into birthstones.  The endeavor is vaguely informed by Harry Potter.  

Dig, bury, tamp, and here is the critical step, water.

Section H crew

We exchanged some great parenting tips

1/ vape, not joints

2/ a1 on balogna does not make it steak

3/ Alok is running a neighborhood kumon class

4/ black swimmer = scholarship 

Zipping by

Lark, zipping by on her new scooter 

Larkin turned six

My darling, I wish I could still hold you this close all of the time.

Ticklebot

Sunir and Lark, doing what they do best.

I am a Jedi, like my father before me

Nice to compare 1983 and 2016, first day of first grade.  Yes, I'm sporting a vintage, original issue Return of the Jedi t-shirt.

Medina

Connie (who was the maid of honor in our wedding) got remarried and had an awesome 80d themed reception. Bonus: she lived in Ohio, which means a pit stop (or two) for Skyline Chili.

Welcome to the jungle

Wow.  In haven't posted here in two years.  I have at least posted quite a bit in my other blog.  Well, time to get back on the horse.

I didn't think it would ever happen, but Axl and Slash buried the hatchet.  Dr. Wintermute and I saw them last month, and they absolutely rocked.  I had been waiting to hear that descending B major blues riff with the heavy delay effect that opens Welcome to Jungle for 20+ years.

We love you, Sohamkaka
