2.5

Long time no blog… which doesn’t mean there hasn’t been anything interesting to write about. No, 2008 has been altogether too “interesting” at times. First the lowlights:

Camus died.

I got my first ever speeding ticket (for going 44 in a 25-mile zone).

The hard drive of my laptop died and I lost all my data, including several stories I had written for Sam, and everything I’d written for my project since September. If you are reading this now and you haven’t backed up your computer files lately, heed my hard-earned advice: back up your data!

Sam. She is 2.5 years old today!

AC will provide the narrative in the month 30 newsletter on his blog, so I’ll give you my Sam update in pictures:

Hanging out at the playground.

Tea and wine tasting with Molly Bear.

Easter egg hunt by the Eiffel Tower

Watering the pansies.

The rest of the March pictures are here.
