I dare you to not watch this at least 10 times.

Cheese report
On the list of things that make me ridiculously happy, pretty much right at the top actually, is hearing my wife sing to my children. I sing to my boys when they’re uncomfortable but it’s usually an a capella version of a punk tune. The last time I did it was with Big Black.
It works, actually, but it’s not exactly that sort of happy in-your-gut feeling that comes from a sweet version of rock-a-bye baby. Which she sings rather well. I do admit to having spied on her a couple times over the baby monitor just so I might grab a verse or two.
Life, one the whole, is sweet.
Throwing in the towel
I have an eye appointment tomorrow. If glasses will help or if I need them is debatable but I am experiencing some ick eye strain at work. It started when they moved me over out of the creative area into IT. Office lighting will not only suck out your soul, it’ll also apparently make you go blind.
Update: Got glasses, two pair. Eyes not all that bad and generally in good health. They are bumpy and the right one is somewhat nearsighted but it’s nothing that corrective eyewear won’t fix. One pair thick hipster glasses and the other a kinda funky green tortoise shell. Also found the world’s biggest hippy eye doctor. If you’re looking for him, he’s in Bloomingdale at For Eyes.
The most annoying thing about the Internet has to be just as soon as it gets interesting, it’s not. I’ve watched two major social channels go largely quiet sometime in the last six months except for the chattering of advertisements and promotions. I sense a blogging renaissance on the horizon. Social media has lost its people presence.
Happiness report
Life is good. I love my family, I like my job and everything else is good too. Hope you are doing well also, wherever you are.
A couple things in the works: a children’s book. It’s actually in the initial draft stage and not just some idea floating in my head. Illustrations in progress too!
Updates to personal web sites.
A pumpkin! A pumpkin seed planted is actually growing. It’s the one Charlie was most excited about so it’s nice that it’s the one to grow. Not sure how big it’ll get but at least it’s growing. I’m a horrible gardener so the fact that anything is growing at all surprises me.
That’s all for now.
