We have enough interest that the Peep Show will go on! It will be smaller than previous years, but that is okay. :)
All-O-ver, Ol-i-vore . . . we're learning that Oliver's name has some fun mispronunciations.
Also, ask him what is name is and this is what you'll hear: "My name is Oli . . . Oli . . . Oliv . . . Oli . . . I don't know."
Here I am at SFO. Again. What should have been a 40 minute layover has turned into a 5 hour layover with merely a possibility of getting on the red-eye at 10:30. Flying standby. And if I don't get on the standby flight . . . they tell me my next shot at JFK isn't for 24 hours. Yeah. So let's hope that doesn't happen. And if I don't get on standby, well, there's got to be another way home.
S: Oliver, Is Mom a child of God?
O: Yes!
S: No, Mom is a grown up!
The one night -- ever -- when Micah and I get to bed at 10:00 and could, feasibly, get 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep, Simon wakes up crying inexplicably at midnight and can't go back to sleep, Oliver falls out of bed, and we're all out a couple of hours of sleep. Clearly we need to never try to go to to bed early. It's the only way to get a good night's sleep around here.
I am a bit late posting this, but I just had to make sure I gave proper dues to my friend Natthaphong Buarawong – also known as Jay, the crazy intern.Jay is a great guy who (according to the books) turned 25 on Monday, April 30th, which he says was also supposed to be the birthday of Simon. It appears the little guy missed that memo. Sorry.
So, Jay, thanks for being a fun member of the office and a good friend. Also, thanks for throwing yourself a birthday party and feeding us all. The Thai curry was excellent.
Did he decorate his own cake too? Because if so, I want to do that and call myself a superstar!
