17 to 18 months
Click on the image above for the latest photos of Sophia. Sorry, but just too busy to include any real blog update. To post more entries will probably be a New Year’s resolution for me (carried over from the last several years, of course).

I’m behind. So what?

November 14th, 2009 Neil No comments

Thousands of new items from RSS feeds in Google Reader, and I just end up marking them as read. I subscribe to roughly 14 podcasts and have 47 episodes that have not been heard yet. Of those 14 podcasts, I’ve only been listening to one (The Tony Kornheiser Show), and I’m on a show from 2 weeks ago. I get 3 discs a month from Netflix (2 for CL and I, while D gets the 3rd). Both movies have sat in this house for at least 2.5 weeks; D’s movie has been sitting somewhere in his room since September (Feedfliks tells me I’m averaging 15 days per DVD, but I think it’s more than that). I started watching 10 shows at the start of the fall TV season, but I’ve only kept up on 3 of them (sad for someone who has a TiVo). And the last time I posted a real “entry” on this blog? Maybe September? My friend jokingly asks me, “What in the world are you doing with your time?”

I’ve been hanging with this pretty girl…

Sophia’s 1st trip to the zoo

November 8th, 2009 Neil 1 comment

St Louis Zoo
Last Monday, both Christine and I were off, and it was a beautiful day. We decided to take advantage of the weather and took Sophia to the St. Louis Zoo. She enjoyed seeing the animals, talking about them and pointing them out to us. However, she didn’t want to have anything to do with touching the animals in the Children’s Zoo. Click the image above for the photo set. And below are two links to videos of Christine and Sophia visiting the goats.
