A few observations from the last 36 hours

1. It's really cute when a 14-month-old baby decides that she doesn't want you to leave the party.

2. Korea has fallen to my hands. France has nearly fallen to Eric's hands. Next up: America and Carthage. I love Civ.

3. Vantage Point is a really, really good movie. Highly recommended.

4. Long, lazy mornings with your boyfriend are also highly recommended. (Unless you're a straight guy, in which case replace "boyfriend" with "girlfriend." Or if you're married, in which case replace either of those with "spouse."

5. I have probably had better plans than breakfast at Chez Cora on Sunday morning of Thanksgiving weekend.

6. My ipod is not missing. This makes me happy.

7. I have eaten way too much food over the last week and a half. The trend ain't gonna be stopping today.

That should have been obvious

Sat down to dinner. Reached for my knife. "Ow," I thought, "why's my arm so sore?"

Could it be that I was holding a 19-pound baby with that arm for significant amounts of time today?

Why, yes, Pinky. Yes, it could.
