pookletta

it's a girl!

the ultrasound yesterday revealed the gender of our next child, and it's a girlchild - a pooklina, a pooklessa, a pookletta, if you will.


in pooklet news, here are some pics one week before his first birthday, which demonstrate just how sweet-tempered he is, even when no one's watching, or interested.

probably should have reflected on this sooner

I came across some notes I took during a singing workshop at the Christian Musician Summit we attended in September, and I can't for the life of me figure out one sentence I wrote:

"particles separated by thousands of miles retain synchronicity"

The workshop was mainly about one's presence on stage in front of the congregation, which makes this one standout baffling. And the next sentence doesn't shed any light on it:

"Sharing your real life will affect people"

And after that, one thought I particularly like:

"You'll never be anything but dynamic if you're selfless"


what an incredibly counterculture notion.

I S T J

I'm an Inspector Guardian, according to the Jung Typology Test I just took.

- 11% introverted
- 12% sensing
- 25% thinking
- 56% judging

the wife tells me, though, that i was, like, an ESFJ the last time i took this test.
the same wife and i decided that i'm more of a modernist thinker, and she a postmodernist... in the, um, good sense.

Any ISTJs out there wanna exchange notes?

FMLA part two

I had a 4-day credit from last year's paternity leave, so I got to enjoy some extended pooklet time which culminated in a trip to SF and their zoo. The SF zoo is pretty lackluster, but still probably better than Lincoln Park.



Had really good Hong Kong food at Washington Cafe and Bakery in Chinatown. I had Singapore Style Chow Mein - a good curry dish.

giraffelet!

while i never dress up for halloween, we dressed the pooklet in a hand-me-down giraffe.
