Day 8, 9 or something...

Einstein described how time is relative to the context that you're in. I
recall that this was a big deal to the male dominated physics community at
the beginning of the last century. My guess is that those (probably the
females at that time) who tended the small children already knew this, but
simply didn't have the time to write up the math part. I don't think that it
is any coincidence that Albert had a one year old and a three year old when
he wrote his paper of special relativity. And that his wife was a major (if
un-named) collaborator.

At least that's my story.

So, we've missed a day or two posting because we've be busy. It seems like
we just posted yesterday. A colleague (you know who you are) describes this
as the "fog of parenthood."

As you can see, Jenny is taking pity on her mommy, trying to be sure that
she's well fed. Jenny has plans for mommy. She has become quite the
mamma's girl.

Since last writing, we've been to a Buddhist temple, and had the family
blessed. We've shopped for bit of art (much longer story here than I can
write now). Jenny broke into huge grins during a game of "bat the barbie
beachball" (Jenny liked to punch barbie, daddy approved. Thanks for the
advice Rebecca!)

We're sad to miss Jack and Maxine's anniversary party, so "Happy Anniversary
Mom and Dad," we're thinking about you.

More later...
