I’ve wanted to write about Jerry, some successes at work, my trip to Moscow, my ideas for turning the MG into an electric car, and our recent trip to Norfolk… but I haven’t had any time!

Instead of content, here’s a cool slideshow:

This is the 3rd book in the Ender Shadow series, which centers around Bean. I still struggle to bond with Bean, the genetically manipulated child genius - and I was not at all moved by the romance that occurred between him and Petra.

I have one book left in this series to finish. Card’s books are light and easily readable but I haven’t enjoyed them enough to want to read them again.

Jerry Youkoh Kirsch, born May 2nd, 2006 at 14:50, is officially 1 year old.

Happy Birthday, Jerry!

I previously stated that Jerry could walk - but now there is proof!

This is getting exciting!

I’ve “decided” that I simply cannot read The Economist from cover-to-cover. While I’m interested in doing so, I cannot keep up with the volume of material and haven’t been willing to dedicate the time. I still enjoy the magazine and will continue to skim as well as keep them for later reference.

I continue to find myself spending a too much time working; even though I’ve worked hard to keep my physical presence at work down to 40-50 hours a week, I find myself thinking about work, using my crackberry, emailing from my home PC or firing up my corporate laptop.

Eriko and I witnessed Jerry take several steps on his own today.

I came home early from work and caught Eriko and Jerry in time before they headed to the QA community center for some time in the playroom. I joined them and it was a lot of fun. Jerry is loads of fun to be around. He is demanding - if I don’t pay attention to him he’ll come up and bite my leg!
