May I present the littlest Wiggle.
Ian’s second birthday was ten days ago, so these may be his first ‘trick or treat’ memories. He probably won’t remember much of anything, but he sure liked being a Wiggle! <insert high-pitched little boy voice saying, “Wig-gles!”> [minor grammar edits]
Special wishes to go to Doug. Eliot has a nice bit up on the holiday.

Went to the local Apple Store for the Night of the Panther rollout. There was a surprisingly large crowd in the queue outside the store for 9:30 on a Friday night. In the 20 minutes I was there I saw two 17″ PowerBooks, four 15″ PowerBooks, one 12″ PowerBook, and three 12″ iBooks get carried out. New ones in those slick boxes. There were at least three desktops rolled out on carts as well. Lots of iPods, iSights and various other ’small’ items were in the hands of the folks around me in the checkout line. Some serious coinage heading Cupertino way.
That little boy was sound asleep before I left. I couldn’t bear to leave before he was in bed and sleeping. I begrudge every moment I’m away from him…
Now what to do with these OSX dog tags?

I am humbled and thankful for the unexpected number of emails and web postings concerning Ian’s birthday. Thank you all so much!
It was two years ago tonight at 9:45 pm PDT. Today my ‘not so little anymore’ boy turns two years old.
Then the news made the Daypop Top 40. This blog community is a different place now and I am just a hobbyist with a lot less interesting things to say. That’s ok though, I do this for different reasons now. I’m glad friends come by.
The past two years have been the best of my life. For the first time, at the core of my being, I am a happy man. It is magic, just magic, being around him and I get to be his Dad.
Not to worry Grandpa and Grandmas, we have an appointment at the picture studio tonight. I’ll scan and post them when they get back from the studio.
Happy Birthday Ian!

In the continuing saga of all things Ian, we went to the Las Vegas engagement of Bear in the Big Blue House: A First Time for Everything. Another great time with the little wiggle-boy.
Grandma and Grandpa got here this morning and went along. All in preparation for Tuesday, the big day, when Ian turns two. The celebration will be Wednesday, since Audrey teaches the evening section of Geology 101 on Tuesday night. SirDeath, we haven’t called you yet, and I apologize - of course you’re invited too.

Just in case anyone was wondering, I did return to work today. Cold sweats, light-headedness and all. Not very productive. Too much Midwestern Protestant in the genes I guess. I could get out of bed, was confidant I was not contagious, so I should be at work. I have sick leave, it is there for such an occasion. Dumb.
I first took the Meyers-Briggs about 15 years ago. I have always come out as an INTP. This time my results were:
Introverted (I) 66.67% Extroverted (E) 33.33%
Intuitive (N) 64.71% Sensing (S) 35.29%
Thinking (T) 58.33% Feeling (F) 41.67%
Perceiving (P) 60% Judging (J) 40%

This is art. Follow the links to see some of Craig’s work. Fantastic.
garret is 44 today. Happy day, garret! I am indeed fortunate to have met and spent some time with him.
The Dorothy the Dinosaur Show was in Las Vegas last night and we took Ian. We all had a great time.
Too many weeks of long days and short nights will eventually catch up with you. I’m home today nursing sme sort of achey-painy flu-like thing.
I had big plans for several coherent posts that were going to be timely, witty, etc. My brain and body, however, have other ideas. Like becoming horizontal on a comfortable surface in a quiet, darkened room.
Arguably one of the best blogs out there, wood s lot marks four years.
IMNSHO, of course.
Tomorrow is the last day of the Age of Chivalry Renaissance Fair here in Las Vegas. I missed it last year, but Audrey and Ian went. Huzzah!

It is another Mr. Mom weekend. That certain Ph.D. student is now in Utah on a Geology field trip, stalking another exemplary exposure of metamorphosed volcanic rocks. She comes back so excited, it is pretty neat.
I’ll try to put up some other stuff in a bit. It has been some time since I was last here.
