Elephants!

So, here is our first non-test posting to our new blog. I'm kinda sorry to see our old website go, but frankly if this is what was needed to get me to stop worrying about tinkering with it and move on to actually putting things up for friends and family to read, then so be it. It's the end of an era, but <insert your favorite endings/beginnings quote>.

Asher and I got to go to the San Diego Zoo while Sharon was doing the joint math meetings thing. We got the much better end of the deal, and while the San Diego Zoo was not as impressive as I expected, pretty much getting to see actual animals is enough to make Asher's day. Of course, his favorite was getting to see the hippo poop.

Yeah, sorry son. When you're an adolescent we'll talk about what chores you must do to make me remove that from our blog. This, of course, assumes that I won't lose all these blog entries by then; yeah, I should face it: odds are pretty high you don't have to worry about this one.

But, in the immortal words of Aaron Sorkin's Casey McCall: "I have a typewriter and I'll use it as I see fit."

Points for me: I got to use the word typewriter in the first real posting on our new blog.
