1.) i’ve fallen into the Look Up Random People On Myspace trap as well. it consumes me. i made my profile nearly unsearchable, until recently. been busted by the internet one too many times.
2.) the BF and i have both recently discovered that random people from our past have suddenly died. so weird.
3.) i love riley’s “crawling face.”
4.) the floors look awesome.

Man, that picture of your friend and his baby choked me up. So sad.

Also: apparently the Riley Exploration of Disaster and Ruckus-Causing has commenced. Be afraid. It is possibly more harrowing than tusk development and the dinosaur bird screech combined.

(But man, Linda, he is SO cute!)

Aww the cute cross-eyed concentration is just TOO CUTE!! As for the previous boyfriend, there isn’t much to say. I just hope his family is alright.
YAY for cute as can be milestones!

I’m so sorry about your friend.

That is one motivated crawler you’ve got there. The look of determination is priceless.

That’s so sad. That same year, the boy I went on my first date with died of lung cancer–and he had never smoked. We’re too young to be losing people our age, but here we go anyway.

Running may be “wholesome” but I can think of less-likely-to-kill-you-dead activities for sure. I run the 10K for charity at the Ottawa Race Weekend (www.ncm.ca) every year, but at least once someone has dropped dead at the finish line after running the marathon. And I agree, it is hard and terrifying to imagine missing out on the life of our kids now that we have ‘em and even more hard and awful to imagine anything happening to THEM. Heck, I’m so clumsy I’m a teensy bit afraid every time I walk down the stairs carrying mine.

I seriously thought about death for the first time when I was around 45. I came up with the conclusion that I am really going to miss me. Being a pagan heathen I don’t hold on to the illusion of an afterlife but I can see why people do. The notion that in an instant all your thoughts, experiences, memories, everything will be gone for ever is disquieting. I guess that is one reason for kids, a piece of us lives on (pull my finger). After hearing my wife and I talk about life insurance my youngest (8) said he was afraid of death. I told him you shouldn’t fear death, just a wasted life. Sorry to hear about your friend.
PS You might consider knee pad for Riley, help keep those great looking floors clean.
