Tomorrow, I promise to try to get footage of him walking. I owe it to our loyal fans!
Frijoles (aka you have one mommy) October 14, 2009
The boy is in good form today after a couple days of rain well-timed with a teething fever. Also Ana makes the best black beans I’ve ever had.

For those of you interested in this level of minutiae, check out the new Ari’s Words section (next to about us at the top right nav).
Bobs Pumpkin Patch October 12, 2009
If we spoke last year after our pumpkin patch (mis)adventures, you may have heard me ranting about how cheesey most of them are. Still true, though I’m beginning to see the value in jumping gyms, giant gorillas and the like. This year we found one we really like, off of Highway 1, just south of Half Moon Bay. The pumpkins are still in the field, a hay pyramid is the central “fun” attraction, in addition to a few animals. Ari was surprisingly daring with the sheep, grabbing an ear at one point. These pictures make the day look a little grumbly, I think, but it was actually quite lovely. And we have a mommy pumpkin, a daddy pumpkin and an Arinaut-size pumpkin to prove it!
The Randall museum October 9, 2009
We have a little wildlife museum for kids in our hood. We’ve been known to frequent the place. Today Ari is experimenting with the rope fence (boundaries metaphor?). You can see the gate about 20 feet behind us. So far we’ve been on the fence for 15 minutes (still counting).
An Unofficial Draft October 9, 2009
San Francisco would be better if there were more former New Yorkers here.
Pros:
Better weather
Work less/more flexibly/smarter
Healthier from a variety of perspectives– better cleaner food and time to and a culture oriented around being active
Innovative– here you feel like you’re a part of creating the future
Spend less time getting around
More space for your money– if you can afford an apartment in Manhattan you can afford a yard here without going to the burbs
Economy not totally in the shitter
We live here
Cons:
Not New York in that you’re not in love with the city itself
Less diverse
Many people here are boring (hence the draft)
