Well, since returning from Philly and today not much has happened.
One thing I forgot to post was the news that I got from a small town in Massachusetts. Chase Robert Crandall joined the grown-up world on March 20th. One of the things in the e-mail mentioned that he was a Pisces just like his dad and Adam. One thing I noticed about that fact is that he's right on the edge of the Pisces influence. Which means that he'll have as much pull from Aries, the next sign over, as he does from Pisces. That should make for some interesting teenage conflicts if you believe in that sort of thing.
We did the obligatory visit to the Easter Bunny. That's a racket. Of course you can take personal photos, just buy a picture. $12.99 for a 5x7. Insane. It took the two little girls in front of us 20 minutes to finish with their pictures, and that's just while we were in line. Who knows how long they were there before we walked up. Their parents got at least 15 pictures from all different angles because the girls were cranky or didn't smile. Gage sat down on the bunny's lap, looked right up at the camera and smiled. I managed to snap 3 pictures I think. A learning experience for sure. We won't be visiting the Easter Bunny during year 2. That is, unless we can find a discount Easter Bunny. Perhaps we could head back to Camden. There weren't any people there, but maybe we could find a big mutated bunny.
We did see one of Terri's co-workers perform at a small coffee shop. She's really good. She covers a variety of genres and artists. We heard everything from self-written material to Alison Krauss and Metallica. It was one of the Alison Krauss songs that started me on my current train of thought which (compounded by the cold) is another reason why I haven't been posting too much. When I catch the "thinking disease" it's always best for me not to write. I'm sure it was something that was gnawing at me anyway, but part of one of her songs stuck in my head so hard it caused physical pain. It all came flooding back again when they had a special on CMT (new home of the Duke boys) with Alison Krauss and Union Station.
Anyway, no one's actually interested in that. Gage decided that he was ready for his bath tonight all on his own. He was sitting on the bed with Terri and four or five times he tried to propel himself off the side. So, she finally set him on the ground and he stood himself up and with Terri's help started to walk. He walked himself right into the bathroom, grabbed hold of the side of the tub and picked up one of his little froggy bath toys. So, we put his tub into the big tub and started filling it with water. He actually tried to boost himself into the tub. Maybe instead of a hockey player he wants to be a champion swimmer.
