33 Years On This Rock and The Boy's First Haircut

My little boy was shorn while I slept! On Saturday Chris got up with the baby and I snoozed in to my heart's content. Upon waking I discovered that my 9-month-old had been replaced by a 2-year-old! Or so it appeared with his newly cropped do. I cried...there wasn't even any warning!



Then on Sunday thebestmanintheworld turned 33 years! Unfortunately he had to leave the next day (today) to restart his traveling regimen that has been stalled for nearly 3 months (we got spoiled). So we spent most of his birthday getting things done. But we did manage to watch some music videos and play with one of Chris's new presents:






I got him the Crayola Glow Dome. He drew The Edge a la U2 fame(or "the coolest person in the world" according to Chris) on the inside panel and on the outside orb that spins he penned the lyrics to "All I Want is You" and said that's what he'd give me if he knew me in high school. I thought it was even better than the best mixtape. I also got him an X-Men t-shirt and and Ipod Touch (affectionally known as "The Fondle"). But that last gift was on order so he has to wait for it. I even got to engrave it for free! He is super excited about his return on Friday not only to see us, but to play with his new fancy gadget. I also made him a shitty banana cake.

So the schedule is that Chris returns Friday from Little Rock, AR. Then I leave Sunday for Florida for a week while he is in Houston. I can't wait to show Holden the ocean, but I wish I could bring Chris with us to watch Holden watch his first seagulls.

If you're reading this, Rappongi...I love you you old man.
