But aside from that, how was your birthday party?

Kids Watch as Clown Is Crushed to Death

Sorry there hasn't been much here of late, but I've been frantically scrambling to get stuff wrapped up at work because at 6:00 am tomorrow, I'm getting on a plane and flying clear across the country to visit Froz and his family. Enjoy the cross-country flight with my tired and cranky toddler, fellow passengers!

This will be the first time we've seen each other since he loaded up the truck and moved to California two years ago (which might mean that we're technically no longer platonic life partners), we've both got new sons the other has never met, and, you know, wine country. So it's all very exciting, but there likely won't be much here for another week or so. Though you never know.

In the meantime, you can kill some time with this.
