Found out recently that my spouse wasn’t exposed to Free to Be You And Me as a child. Thought it was required for all 70’s kids. #
For others of you who missed it, you can still grow up to be anything you want. http://tinyurl.com/dfdtan #
I suspect there’s a correlation b/w parental politics and likelihood of watching Free To Be You And Me. (PS @jreesnc, it’s not a TV show.) #
Oops, meant to say: I suspect there’s a correlation b/w parental politics and likelihood of *listening to* Free To Be You And Me. #
@geilhufe I worry about the backlash as well, but I had the Free2BU&Me LP and look how awesome I turned out! in reply to geilhufe #

Izzy is meeting his Grandpa Joey for the first time. #

Watching Izzy nap (after he woke me up from mine) is proof that youth is wasted on the young. Alas. #

@ntenhross Is it true that #10NTC is going to be Atlanta? I was hoping for east coast, so that’s great. Gotta hit cheaper cities, tho. 😉 #
@ntenhross I had the same reaction to increasing # of coworkers (& parents & in-laws) on Twitter. No more complaining abt ppl they know. in reply to ntenhross #

@oceanhealth Hope you’re enjoying #09NTC. This is the first time in many years that I have missed it. (And I do miss it.) in reply to oceanhealth #
@pink_plaid Izzy will be a marauder too, in time… in reply to pink_plaid #

Go, Holly! Rtwt @pearlbear: Round of clapping for @ntenhross at board meeting. You go girl!! #09ntc #

Feeling more like Elsie the Cow than June Cleaver right now. #motherhood #breastfeeding #
It’s disturbing how well pacifiers work. I guess that’s why they scare me so much. #
@meeloise Rebirth! (Unless you can see them at a smaller venue while you’re in NOLA. They play all over.) #
Feeding the baby twice before feeding myself. Hongray! #
Jealous & happy for @bruinmccon & @meeloise enjoying #JazzFest in #NoLa. Check out my fave bar: Donna’s @ Rampart & St. Ann. #
Suzanne Vega’s song “The Queen and the Soldier” is still one of the saddest & most beautiful poems I’ve ever heard. #

Izzy is so precocious – he was the youngest child at Mommy Baby Yoga today (extra credit: he slept happily through the whole thing). #
