"Go With The Flow"

I've been given a fair amount of grief over the past two weeks for neglecting to post here. Actually, any time there's more than a six-hour lapse between entries, I get a passive-aggressive e-mail or two, informing me that I "need" to update my blog more often.

In light of such requests, if you will all kindly pool your funds and secure me a new iPhone, I promise to pay more attention to this oft-neglected space.

Seems a reasonable enough offer to enough to me.

Until said technological innovation is in my hands, however, do not expect much in the way of updates. You NEED me, dammit!

But, to tide you over until then, I'll share a little nugget of wisdom Connor shared with me today.

On our way home from school, Connor seemed quite preoccupied with the clouds, as they were nearer to the ground than usual, fluffier than the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, and whiter than my Western European-inherited legs.

Noticing his obvious interest, I started trying to explain that the clouds were filling up with rain, and that when they were full, the rain would begin to fall. I dumbed the lecture down for him, and he seemed geniunely interested, but when I concluded he offered just one statement in reply.

"I just tooted, Daddy."

That's my boy.
