I think the minimalist white screen devoid of posts is actually very descriptive of my life right now, but I’m going to break the monotony with a quick update.

I just cleaned out my comment spam. I thought I had closed comments on all the entries before my haitus, but I missed one. Of course, the spammers found it.

Haitus is to be taken loosely. I’m living at school, basically. Modeling 3D in Rhino, which I just discovered. MUCH easier than 3D modeling in AutoCAD.

I have under two weeks until I present my thesis. It will take me another six months to get out of school and get my piece of paper, but the hard part will be over soon. Of course, my thesis blog is the only thing being updated around here lately.

Baby is due in four weeks, and we now have a houseful of bibs, blankets, bassinets and bears. And one “Baby’s First Cell Phone” which WON’T SHUT UP AND RINGS EVERY TIME YOU GO NEAR IT. A gift from a well-intentioned friend who we may just never speak to again.

We’re getting the house ready for the birth, gathering supplies, and preparing the guest room for Mother-In-Law, who is coming on Christmas Day.

We’ve given Baby the schedule. Be born anytime after the 11th of December, and make sure you’re out before midnight on January 1. We’re very flexible.

Raising children: it’s all about giving them choices, right?

They’re getting sleepy

Jim Lehrer just said “Reagan” instead of “Bush”, and took about 15 seconds to list the folks sitting with Bush watching the returns on TV.

I can’t wait for late-night Rather.

Buffalo vs. Toronto

One of the great benefits of living in a bi-national region: the Canadian FOX affiliate apparently thinks Seinfeld and Frasier reruns are more important tonight than election coverage.

UPDATE: LATE-NIGHT DAN RATHER

On the race in Wisconsin:

this race has been closer than Lassie and Timmy all night long.
