My Oldest Girl told me tonight that she wants to find a book on how to learn to read and speak Klingon, and she thinks Big Bang Theory is the best show ever made. I think we may have created a geek, my friends.

The Treadmill
We spend so much time working at jobs we don’t like, making less than we think we deserve, just to buy houses that are too big, that we fill with junk we don’t need, with yards we mow but don’t use, surrounded by privacy fences that keep nothing in but keep everything out.
Getting a grip
Little Miss Thing (2.5 years old) is climbing all the most difficult obstacles at the playground, as if mocking my over-protective nature. I’ve decided that this is a good exercise in not letting my fears and assumptions limit her potential.
So I’m not telling her to stick to the easy ones, despite the gripping fear in my stomach.
To her credit, she is proving to be significantly more adept than I would have imagined. In fact, she’s a really good climber. If we live through this, it will clearly be good for both of us.
