How hard could it be to just occasionally write something? Apparently pretty hard... Today was commencement. I'm not going to the New York Cocktail this year, so I guess that means I'm done for a while... I've been a dad for a little over 2 months. I should be documenting it furiously, but I'm not... It's probably time to start a summer project list. That can be the first item on the list... It's fun to buy things for babies, and piece by piece not really that expensive. In the end I am sure it adds up though... The mayor didn't come to the thesis presentation. It was worth a shot... Just finished reading "Stand on Zanzibar." Can't remember where I got the idea to read it. I'd probably recommend it. I'm not sure what Leo thought of it... Pens lost. My fair weather fandom didn't last too long this year... It's always disappointing when we turn on MSNBC on a weekend morning only to find a guest host on #nerdland... Oh yeah, got a new car. Well, a new old car. No, it's not a truck... For some reason I can't seem to get my windows computers to remember I want to keep them hooked to my iOS image stream... Why don't they just have all the waitlilsted vets pour into ACA Gold plans and have one of the banks we bailed out handle reimbursements? For that matter why not just authorize them all for Medicare and be done with it? Probably makes too much sense... The DVR is piling up. Way too many Americans to watch, and I am afraid to say Orphan Black might be condemned to streaming... I think we'd like a deck out front. I guess that's called a porch. But for the permit issues and the foundation stuff I'd be all over it... Gearing up for a Chicago trip in June. New York trip in August? Bay area trip in October. Hope the kid travels well...

Hey David. I meant to send a note of congratulations when you posted the birth pictures, but I am terrible at anything resembling being social.
Regarding documenting your kid's early life - don't worry about it. Most people give it up for their second kids, so why not just learn that lesson from them now? It's kind of like how you don't care about an ultrasound picture after the birth; it seems more important to preserve it at the time than it will later.
Anyway, I have a big recommendation for traveling with babies: Amtrak. We did it for Chi-Pgh and Chi-Albany when ours was small and it is easier than both driving and flying, mostly because you can move around, but also because you can take overnight trains. Plus the kid is not tied into a car seat which will make him much happier.
I hope you and the Mrs. have tried baby slings too. If you can carry the baby in a sling instead of taking a stroller, it cuts down a lot of gear you have to take. That goes for daily trips as well as out-of-town. I don't think we used our stroller except when we were in Chicago and would walk 1/2 mi to a mile at a time. For everything else it wasn't worth the hassle of taking it.
Nice to know somebody still sees this site.
I think Marisa's been doing an "every Wednesday" thing - guess we'll see how long that keeps up.
We're all about the sling - the train... not sure about that one, I'll check it out.
The magic of RSS - it just shows up in my list so I don't have to go check it.
The train from Chicago was great - 10 hour trip but you are asleep for 8 of it. A sleeper is just as expensive as the plane, but so much nicer than the hassle of getting to the airport and through the terminal.
