An Update! This time with meaning!
It’s been a little bit since I posted so I thought I would provide may adoring public (all 3 of you) with an update about what’s going on chez nous.
The end of last month brought on Candice’s 2o-something week ultrasound… for the uninitiated, this is when you can (optionally) discover the sex of the expected child. It turns out that … drum roll please… we’re expecting a girl! I am very excited and nervous at the same time. From what I’ve observed, boys are a lot of effort and energy, but hey, I’m a guy so I know how to handle that… but girls are different. Different is scary! Anyways, if you’re remotely interested in gifting anything in our direction you can follow these links to our registries:
The registries are in a bit of flux right now; but they’re there.
On the non-baby related front, not a whole lot is going on- I’ve been busy doing some freelance audio engineering and a little freelance development. I want to get out into the shop but haven’t really made any progress that direction- the freelance work ties up a good bit of time and I need to work around the house a goodly bit. The weekend’s been fairly warm, so I haven’t really gone far from my fan.
Last weekend I received the results of the MRI that was done on my right knee- basically there was some small damage to the ligaments and cartilidge but it is healing and so the primary cause of the pain I’m feeling is swelling- that will recede in time so I don’t need surgery. The surgeon also cleared me for returning to my martial arts and climbing so I can start getting physical again which really helps my mood and energy levels. Not to mention my waistline.
No commentsTim O’Reilly on a Classical Education
Tim O’Reilly was interviewed about a the benefits of a classical education; to augment the published interview, he posted the complete transcript on O’Reilly Radar. I think he makes some important points about the values of understanding the classics and the role that classical education plays in personal development. I urge all of you to take a look: here
