I know all of you felt listless these last few days, since this very blog has been not working.
Actually, I just noticed this morning. Don’t know exactly how long it’s been down (other than some time after my Dec. 9th post). Odd. I was a bit worried as it was showing a database error. And while I do a weekly backup of the blog content, I’m a bit lax on backing up the all important SQL database.
I share because I know you care.
Anyway, after looking into it, it appears somehow a space was entered into the database password in my config file, so the solution was as quick and easy as the delete key.
So if you made it through all that, here’s a small reward. Last night we went to the local county zoo to check out their Christmas lights. It’s not quite the same without snow (are you listening, Mother Nature???!!!), but it was a nice little venture out.
Peacocks sleeping in the trees!
My beautiful wife!
Thought from this story: why do you like to pop bubble wrap? Put your answer in the comments.
Personally, I like to pop bubble wrap first and foremost because of the feel, not the sound. How about you?
Here’s a long-ish video (and big, i.e. might take a while to start playing) of Mal walking (aided) to the nearby park and then playing on one of the playsets.
Apologies for the shakiness – I was walking backwards and pushing a stroller at the same time. Once it’s playing you can go full-screen via the icon in the lower right-hand corner.
Too dark to be useful. However, here’s a webcam from the NY Times building in NYC. It’s pretty nice because along with being able to see the Empire State building and Chrysler in the background, the tall building on the left with the antenna mast on top is the home of WBGO’s primary transmitter. Still there and doing it’s job!
Ok, doing streaming video maxes out our mac mini, so I’m doing a static shot (refreshed every minute) instead.
But it wasn’t the Fourth of July. This was yesterday.

As some of you may know, the fiscal year is wrapping up (at least at David’s place of employ) and so it’s a good time to review budgets, strategies and organizational structure. Due to Mallory’s excellent productivity, general good attitude and willingness to go above and beyond, we’ve decided to promote her as of this coming April. She will hold the title: Big Sister.
