Some random thoughts I've been having in no particular order:
Today was the first really nippy day of the season. Usually it's cold in the morning but the sun shines through around noon and it feels like a balmy 78 degrees. But today it was truly cold all day long. Looks like Summer is really over now. The changing of the seasons always makes me feel happy for some reason...not sure why.
I've been reading Emperor of All Maladies, which is about the history of cancer treatment in the US. It always makes me sad and paranoid, reading and thinking about all the 2-6 year old kids who have cancer. Getting cancer or my kids or spouse getting cancer is definitely on my Top Five Most Horrible Things I Can Imagine Happening to My Family.
Also on the Top Five Horrible Things list...my kid(s) getting kidnapped, somebody dying, being sexually assaulted, my kid(s) becoming meth heads later in life.
I hate thinking about my kid(s) possibly dying young. And yet young kids die every day. Makes me realize "Love" is a two sided coin--one side shining brighter than the sun and the other darker than hell.
I hate smart phones. I don't want to be connected and distracted all the time. I don't want to constantly check social media networks. I want to be bored and sad and feel my boredom and sadness because that's reality. That's life. (It's nice to know that Louis C.K. agrees). But...
...I'm seriously contemplating getting a smart phone for the Chinese language apps. My mandarin speaking skills are pretty sucky and that's totally inhibiting me from helping Judah learn Chinese.
Words I see with Judah all the time but have no idea how to say include: ladybug, penguin, alligator/crocodile, and dinosaur.

That is so beautiful, Christina....it gave me goosebumps. I hope to be half as happy when I'm married as long as you and Michael have been :)
Awww, thanks Tam. I wish you all that happiness and MORE! And yeah, I know you meant this comment for the subsequent post ;-)
