Stuart, aged 3.1, noted today that he has a “funny looking” body part, right there below his nose. We looked at it really close, and determined that yes, he has a funny philtrum.

Time’s passing rubs itself in one’s face in all sorts of ways. This morning it was the brats’ show of “appreciation” after I built a little foam/mat house for them in the basement. They moved in right away and dumped a bucketful of toys.
Since this house was larger than usual, I was able to squish in and see what was going on. I told them them about the times long ago when I and my brothers played with cardboard forts on an apartment balcony, shooting waterguns in the summer. But not for long.
ERIC
Go away please.
FRANK
Why?
ERIC
Because you’re too old.
STUART
This is for kids only. Two kids. Zero adults.

I was doodling around with our home synthesizer, with the brats and woman in the next room over. After fifteen minutes with my uneducated fingers, the wife comes over, and says
Hey, that sounds like boring elevator music. Try something more exciting. (Like what?) Like some baroque, with a twist of classical.
Yes, I am married to someone who thinks “baroque, with a twist of classical” is more exciting than modern elevator music.
Lucky me.
