We be poppin’
I really regret not seeing a Lord T & Eloise show before leaving Memphis.

Here’s a good article on hospital birth…
… and finding a balance between medically necessary interventions that improve birth outcomes and those interventions that only serve to expedite the birth process but usually end up complicating it. >> Labor, Interrupted in Harvard Magazine The article is very even-handed and points out the importance of C-sections for women who need them. Having the option of a C-section is crucial. But the idea that 1 in 3 women needs a C-section to give birth…

11.5.12: ONE YEAR OLD!
My Buds: We made it! We survived that mythical and all-important first year! And I think we did a bang-up job. Look how far you’ve come: Can you believe it? It is surreal to think that a year ago, you came into this world and I got my first good look at you, and you were so new and unfamiliar to me. I had to learn how you looked; you were a wonderful combination of…

Things I miss about Memphis
An occasional installment in an ongoing series. To be read in a wistful voice. • Your Memphis Grizzlies, taking names and kicking ass. Although I will say I have been pleasantly surprised by seeing the Grizz on public TVs here in Nashville. • Being able to drive to LensRentals.com and pick up a lens. • Black Lodge • A marked lack of traffic • SpillIt, which I don’t technically miss because I wasn’t there when it…

That little election we just had
It’s hard being the only flaming liberal in your little family. Okay, my aunt Vicki is also a flaming liberal. So there are two of us, I guess, among a sea of red. Red so red that I am regularly inundated with emails calling out Obama for not being patriotic enough. Not loving his country enough. Not saluting the flag enough. Not being Christian enough. And my dad has been saying for years that Obama…

10.5.12: Eleven months old
Mr. Pooper: I don’t actually call you “Mr. Pooper.” I just like the idea of being able to say I was “hanging with Mr. Pooper.” Heh. You won’t get that reference but maybe if Google is still around, you can Google it. So somewhere around month nine or ten, you went from being this laid-back, never-fusses-ever baby to being a little boy with big, vocal wants. That has been an interesting transition for mama and…

Head games
Sometimes I ache so hard for a future life that it ruins my whole day. Many people, most people(?) live their whole lives and they don’t get what they want. And that’s OK. Because no one is entitled to get what they want. Even if what they want is totally reasonable. Why the fuck should the universe align itself so that you get what you want? That is not the purpose or the function of…

My vacation is over, boo hiss
Last weekday of vacation. I did about 50 percent of what I aimed to do so I am going to cram the remaining 50 percent into this weekend. Maybe. Okay, probably not. I voted and made a pot roast today so I figure we’ll call it even.

Commence vacation!
I got my two papers launched so I’m taking a week off. This feels obscene in some ways. Like, what could a person do with an ENTIRE week off? This means I will likely squander it in pajamas, watching TV shows I don’t care about. But I am not going to allow myself to feel guilty no matter what I do this week. I have small goals: • Give the cats a bath • Watch the…
