    Default New Version

    After 28 years, I finally decided it was time for a newer, better version of Ajax. Here's the result:

    Just After Birth

    Making a Face

    All Dressed Up


    His name is David Charlemagne btw, because yes, I am just that much of a geek. But then, you already knew that. 8 pounds, 19 inches, born 10:30 EST on Sunday, the 10th of April 2011.

    Excellent!

    As a father, I have just two words of advice for you: sticker books.

    When the kid is old enough to play with them, they will buy you peace and quiet all out of proportion to their cost. Sticker books. Yep.

    I was very pleased to find my wife was okay with naming him after two of the nine worthies.

    Thanks for the suggestion. His mother has already made an 'I Spy' bag for him when he gets a little older, and we've started our collection of board books and picture books, but we haven't given much thought to sticker books yet. I'll keep them in mind.

    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
