		<title>Weekend bonus shot (Tuesday edition), 01.17.12</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Alwyn Court, W58th &#38; 7th, New York, New York. Above image apropos of nothing much in particular, except that I walked by this confectionary extravaganza yesterday on a stroll after work with a colleague and friend (known on the internet as Mr. Lady: that we&#8217;re now working together is indeed fitting, since her &#8220;handle&#8221; is [...]]]></description>

		<title>That which we call a rose by any other name would sound as sweet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The above image of my Pops is from a coupla five years back, which would have made him a spry, debonair 86. Yesterday he turned 91. In our morning chat, which usually takes place on cell phone as I walk, he is having a harder and harder time making out various words. This morning it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekend bonus shot (Monday edition), 01.09.12</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pops returning home at the end of the evening, Castro Valley, CA. I watch him go through these doors to his apartment in the retirement community so long and hard now. Used to be he&#8217;d turn and wave and shamble off, only looking back once to wave me away (&#8216;gwan now, doll; go home). Now, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Riverside fairy house</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fairy house-building near the West Fork of the Carson River, Hope Valley, CA. Her operating assumption, and who am I to doubt it: everywhere  you go, there are fairies who would appreciate a home.]]></description>

		<title>Auspicious</title>
		<description><![CDATA[His first sentence, Hope Valley, CA. Behold, above, my boy&#8217;s first sentence (beyond a great number of &#8220;I [heart symbol] U Baba&#8221; sentences, each of which I have kept on their various scraps of paper).  The scatological cant of this one, while a touch wince-inducing, cannot diminish my pride in his literary and comic prowess.

		<title>Christmas Lullaby</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Christmas Lullaby,&#8221; by Jason Robert Brown, eavesdropped after dinner early December last year. [Ed note: Once you start the video, double-clicking the image expands it to full screen, a decidedly mixed blessing since then you get more jostled by my improv'ed lo-tech iPhone cinematography.] I couldn&#8217;t help but re-run this sweet gem which I first [...]]]></description>

		<title>Regarding the carousel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At the Tilden Park Carousel&#8217;s Christmas Extravaganza, Berkeley, CA. &#160; We&#8217;ve been here before. (Back then, when she was two, and again then, at two and a half. Clearly it&#8217;s a thing for me: I just counted over half a dozen &#8220;carousel&#8221;-referential posts here.) We come to Tilden Park&#8217;s Christmas Spectacular (ok, official title is &#8220;Fantasy,&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<title>At the end of the tether</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Tetherball at big sister&#8217;s schoolyard, Berkeley, CA. &#160; Next time around it smacked Baba in the kisser. That&#8217;ll learn me to pay attention. To wit (re: paying attention): I&#8217;ll be untethered from ye olde internet next week. Digital Sabbatical time, thank you GwenBell et al.!  Clarity, monotasking parenthood, and board games all shimmer like palm [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fits, barely</title>
		<description><![CDATA[She fits in my lap, barely, but that doesn&#8217;t stop her from wanting to cuddle there, nor does it stop me from hoisting her there and doing all I can to hold and preserve, &#8217;til she&#8217;s ready to get up. The bittersweetness of her disappearing childhood–gradual, utterly inescapable–is a taste she knows as well or [...]]]></description>
