Recommunicado

I just checked to confirm it, and it's true: I haven't posted here in over a month. That's almost exactly how long we've been living in Connecticut, and there are many things that I haven't done in that time. I haven't replied to anyone's phone calls, emails, text messages or blog posts; I haven't slept very much (except for one glorious Saturday when Greta took pity on me); and I haven't sent out our new address and phone numbers. To rectify this last point, here's a link to our info. To protect ourselves from evil spambots, the page is password-protected: the password is greeba's previous last name (all-lowercase).


Besides the relocation, so many things have happened since I last posted that there's no way I can fit it all into one post. To briefly summarize: we threw off the crushing weight of post-partum depression ... we packed up all of our important items, discarded the rest (see photo below), and fled Manhattan like refugees ... we were given a car and the beginning of a college fund for seamus ... i began semi-involuntarily biking 6 miles every day ... i learned to sleep while sitting up ... we attended seamus' great-times-four-grandfather's coming-out party ... Auntie Teri visited and blithered ... Greta and Seamus posed for this beach photo, with a picturesque bulldozer in the background ... and every morning, we were amazed to observe that Seamus seemed to have become even cuter overnight.

I will try to fill in the details of all of these things, but in the meantime, I just want to see that I'm sorry that I've been uncommunicative, and I've missed all of you terribly. I will post again soon ...
