		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s astonishing how quickly I&#8217;ve come to define parenting in terms of things I&#8217;ve missed. Like: my kids have never pooped in the bathtub. Now isn&#8217;t that an adventure squandered? Claudia isn&#8217;t three yet, so maybe I&#8217;m counting my poop-free chickens a trifle prematurely. But she&#8217;s an open book when it comes to bodily functions, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We’re supposed to be in the middle of our long, foggy summer by now but the rain won’t stop. And whether it’s down to that or the fact that my coffee maker isn’t working, I don’t know, but things are a bit melancholy around here today. Fern is a playdate junkie. Every night before bed, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was once a master of minutiae. Where the hell is my sock? Ninja-like, I always knew where every little thing had gotten to. &#34;Dad, where&#8217;s my other rainbow skull sock?&#34; Fern would ask (and what parent hasn&#8217;t gotten that question?) and I could point her with some accuracy to the vegetable crisper, where I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

(And did I mention to all you Northerners that it was 72 degrees again this January day?) The San Francisco [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[San Francisco&#8217;s combined fall and winter hit today with a chilly fog up here in the western wilds. The fog at the playground was so cold that even Boo volunteered to put on her jacket &#8212; an event I was hardly ready for, since it&#8217;s so rare. A somewhat disturbing visual, I know Alas!

I just listened to this story about a soldier giving a teddy bear to a child in Afghanistan: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=96751533 And now I keep crying. Luckily, though, Boo keeps coming down to where I&#8217;m trying [...]]]></description>

Boobaby is rarely ever babysat, and even then pretty much only by family members &#8212; grandparents certainly do their bit on visits. There was one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sitting in the airport yesterday on my way home from the family cataclysm, I sat at the bar, sipping a whiskey. And watching Wiggles videos on my iPod. I got some weird looks, but really &#8212; is it stranger than watching grown men bounce little orange balls around the room? I guess I missed Boobaby, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m off this evening to southern California, a quick one-day trip to handle some extremely yucky family business. (Not gonna talk about it, just trust me. It won&#8217;t be fun.) My wife pointed out that I&#8217;d at least get a good night&#8217;s sleep. Given the circumstances (did I mention that they&#8217;re no-good-horrible-very-bad circumstances, too?) I [...]]]></description>

I ran into a mom today, someone I&#8217;d met only once at a market months ago. (We&#8217;ll call her &#8220;Mom A&#8221; &#8212; start at the upper left [...]]]></description>
