The U.S. has broken the second rule of war. That is, don't go fighting with your land army on the mainland of Asia. Rule One is don't march on Moscow. I developed these two rules myself.

Googleplex
Jan. 13th, 2009 09:36 amTwo snippets of conversation:
"It's snowing! A hundred snowflakes are falling! More than a hundred hundred hundred - a googleplex!"
"Mom, do you know why I know googleplex is a number? Luka told me."
The last part was said in a very solemn, assured tone, because if Luka said it then it MUST be true. Obviously.

Dec. 29th, 2008 12:53 pmKarin lost her first (baby) tooth last week. There was an ensuing visit from the tooth fairy, but "I think that the grownups are playing tooth fairy". Of course, it didn't help that John showed her the container with his baby teeth...
And even after so many years here, I'm still surprised by the weather sometimes. In 2-3 weeks it ranged from -10 to +16 °C (12-60 F) and from heavy snow to sleet to rain to bright and sunny. Weird.

Oh no! Not the dreaded black ice! Or worse - visible ice!
Can we make it even more dramatic?

Milestones
Dec. 16th, 2008 10:45 pmNot only did we get a nice big christmas tree up in our livingroom, it is also in a very good spot. The spot that was previously covered by That Tub. And that tub? It is finally, finally upstairs in the bathroom it'll get installed in. Eventually. It wasn't as brief or easy as that sounds like. More about the process in a next blog, to cover the casualties and damages - 1 knee, 1 staircase rug, one nose, 3 bloodied fingers... but not the tub!
