I just came back from the hospital’s visiting hours, and Tristan is doing well. He purred quite a bit and even ate a little of his prescription food for me. Today his creatine and BUN levels are both normal, so his kidney function was clearly only temporarily and mildly affected by the blockage. Today they […]

Hello Everyone, Please keep my favorite kitten Tristan in your thoughts. (Percival is my favorite cat in case you were wondering…) He’s at the veterinary hospital right now, and he’s likely to be there for 2-3 days, as he has a urinary blockage that requires catheterization, IV fluids, and close monitoring. Thankfully, we caught things […]
The Great Blog Rebuild (part 1)
Posted in Matthew on Dec 29th, 2007
As most of you already know, the okcomputer.org server suffered a catastrophic disk failure back in October and my back-up scheme was, er, less than optimal. I’ve spent the last three months trying to put the pieces of the old server back together, while Jessica just started a new blog from scratch over at wordpress.com. […]
Not to worry, I’m not getting political on you. Inappropriate, likely, but not political. A month ago, I was pretty sure that Matt’s “ghost baby” scenarios were as inappropriate an example of humor as you were going to get around here. Then I began joking about ghost baby myself and had to dial down my […]
I wasn’t actually planning to celebrate Boxing Day, of course, but I did plan to have some fun. My Wednesday sitter called to cancel Tuesday night, which meant that after many busy days preparing for or celebrating holidays, today I was going to cancel my attic-cleaning project, sit back, and enjoy some down-time with Simon. […]
It’s a bit after 11:00 p.m.., and I just wrapped my second Christmas Eve. Simon is asleep after having a very busy day, Matt is downstairs watching Monty Python videos (my present to him) after a sort-of busy day, and the cats are napping after having a not very busy at all day. It’s good […]
We got the exciting word that friends Kelley and Kaya welcomed their first child, a son named Thaylo William, in the wee hours of the morning of the twenty-second. Later today, we got more of the scoop. The short version is that Kelley was 42 weeks and 3 days pregnant, kiddo had no intention of […]
In his tender fourteen months, Simon has thus far had only one true love. Her name was Stephanie, she was a flight attendant on our flight to San Francisco last May, and despite his many, many crushes since then, no one has quite lived up to her or received the same intensity of affection before […]
In the nicest of all ways, I’m being replaced as Simon’s favorite person. It is very clear to me—to be more specific, Simon is making it extremely clear to me—that his heart belongs to Grandma and Bubbie. I know this because on Sunday, when my mom dropped by with mandel bread for us all, Simon […]
Memory Lane
Posted in Jessica on Dec 19th, 2007
This past fall I promised myself that for Simon’s first birthday, I’d go through our careful Gallery photos, order up my favorites, and make a physical album. Before I had a chance, our server suffered a fatal disc error and wiped out our album. Turns out, Matt hadn’t gotten around to backing up Gallery since […]
