Okay, fine. A balance of Benji and non-Benji topics.
For the last 15 minutes, Benji has been playing with a multi-colored plastic Slinky. He seems in equal parts confused and fascinated by it. He pulls both ends apart, and with very little resistance, the thing expands! How crazy this non-womb world is.
--- Dude, I have a Dell. (New Dell laptop, that is.) It is what I am writing this post on.
--- Benji is feeding himself. Sometimes, when I'm feeding him his bottle, he grabs onto it with both hands and holds it well enough that I can actually let go. Admittedly, he generally drops it about two minutes later, but still.
--- Now that I have the laptop, I'm hoping to have more time to do some composing -- last year I completed a dozen "major" works (as in, longer than a hymn or a mass part), and hopefully I can come close to doubling that this year. (19 days in, and I'm at 1 of 24 -- right where I should be.)
--- And combining me and 'Jamin: Let's say that Kim and I want to fund Benji's college education in full 18 years down the line, and let's say he wants to attend a private university. Approximately how much money would Kim and I have to set aside (in a 529, for example) per month for the next...okay, he's crying. Bye.
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
