Now that we've heard from Katie that she and her baby are doing well and getting used to life together, I want to see some pictures. I know that, empirically, a lot of babies look similar, but I still love to try to pick out parental features. I can spend half an hour examining a baby's eyes trying to decide if they're mom's or dad's. It's more addictive than sudoku.

We went and saw Live Free or Die Hard yesterday. That was a fun movie! The interaction between Bruce Willis and the Mac kid was fun, and I liked that his daughter was so tough. Plus, I found the concept of the movie interesting--what would I do if all the country's technology was gone? If the electricity went out and all I had was a battery-powered radio? Cause, as I've said before, I'm pretty lost without McDonald's and tv. I'd probably have to start eating dirt and whittling sticks for fun. Sounds fascinating.
