Watch the baby

Today we went to visit chrislehrich his wife and the new baby Sam, who was about what you'd expect for any baby that young, precious, hungry and very vocal -- and very beautiful. All good things to see. Both peaseblossom and I wanted to hold the baby but neither of us felt comfortable asking, as we don't know S very well and not every new mother takes kindly to pass the baby. A game I always loved to play, basically its my policy that if you enter the house you interact with the kids, and for babies that means you hold them. Its a real test to see if I want to hang around someone, especially games. You have to deal well with kids. Its part of that whole community thing I desperately yearn for but don't always feel I get.

But Sam, yeah he's cute and Chris and his wife are justifiably proud.

I also got a copy of Chris's draft on his next book and a bunch of questions that he's trying to resolve. I look forward to reading it as it appears to be a lot more wide-interest than his first book which did teach me a heck of a lot about Agrippa. I'm also tickled pink that I was asked to offer my comments on the draft, being rather a dabller in the field that he makes his academic home in.

Send the kids to bed a little early. Both were extremely tired and needed to sleep. Though the boy isn't. He just called me into his room to ask why the body made "boogers".

I should probably go and fold laundry now.
