Feet dry
My boy comes home today, and I just checked his route on Flytecomm.com. He’s gone feet dry, meaning: he’s over land, way up north. Back over North America.

Holy schmoly!
I didn’t take this one today, but it reminded me of today, and so I’m using it today.

Weekend update, with pictures!
I tried to post my pictorial recap of the weekend’s events last night, but something was wrong with Blogger. Many apologies.

Emma’s First Photo Shoot
After school/work, Zoe and I headed down to SoCo for a photo shoot with my niece, Emma. I was lucky…not only is she adorable and easy to photograph, I had a whole band of helpers who had great ideas along with a willingness to foist backdrops, coo and squeak to soothe a baby who was greatly annoyed by my softbox, and position reflectors. Thank you to Grammy and Emma’s parents!

Water Day
Today was one of Zozer’s favorite days at school: Water Day. The teachers get out hoses and sprinklers and the kids go crazy. I worried they wouldn’t be able to do it this morning because it was so chilly, but I forgot that kids are typically, for the most part, impervious to temperature when there’s something they want to do badly.

For M, in Denmark
M is thousands of miles away right now, on a business trip in Denmark. We get to talk briefly, once a day, at around 6 or 6:30 p.m. Which is well past midnight his time. Last night we were lucky enough that he was in his hotel room and we were able to do a video chat over the Internet. He looked exhausted (jet lag + Danish pub hopping three nights in a row will do that to you) but happy. He lit up when he saw Zozer.

Art bling
Zozo and I went to the Art Museum Monday to see the Lee Friedlander prints. She got the hiccups about 30 seconds after we arrived in the gallery. Hiccups are really, really loud when echoing off the hard walls of an art museum. We both got the giggles. After seeing the Friedlander prints and wandering through some other galleries, including visiting M’s most favorite work of art of all time, we checked out the museum gift shop that’s just off Sculpture Hall. Zoe found a basket of beautiful beaded rings, and we just had to have them. She chose purple, naturally.

First Day of Last Year
Zozo’s first day in the Bear Room. She did great…had a blast (just like I knew she would!). Although we had this conversation on the way home tonight (which is last night, come to think of it, by the time this gets posted, since I was out late hangin’ with my girls and watching the new SATC movie):

I am not Chuck
The problem with getting a company-issued Blackberry is that you assume all the calls, IMs and text messages meant for the person who used the Blackberry before you. Especially if that person worked at your company for a gajillion years and used that phone for everything. Everything in his entire life, professional and personal.
