Upon signing the Deal and moving into sweet homeChicago, Cpu and I embarked on wholesale improvements to address the many shortcomings of our property.

Bpu recently got a how-to book on making children's cakes. It has large colorful pictures of required ingredients and the finished product. It is enjoyable for her to read it to herself and to others. She gets a real patter going, what with the colors, shapes, and ingredients on each of the 38 pages.

This Saturday, we went to get paint samples and primer from a local paint store near Milwaukee and Addison. It was about 11:15 am when we left, but the fam was hungry.

Originally, we had planned on going to Target and then onwards to Hot Dougs for some fine encased meats and duck fat fries. Well, we switched up, guessing there was going to be a line at HotDougs.

Good move. There was already a line at 11:20 am. Game sausage of the week: Smoked Rattlesnake Sausage with Black Currant Mustard and Vodka Currant Cheese. Too many smackers for a grilled sausage, so Cpu and I opted for splitting Smoked Shrimp and Pork Sausage with Creamy Creole Mustard and Fontina Cheese, and a duck-bacon-blue-cheese one that is no longer listed on the web site. And duck-fat fries. Bpu went for a kid's meal of bagel dogs and tater tots. I had a nice ginger beer and they split an apple juice.

There was a pretty big Cubs pre-game crowd there, and we didn't see any outside dining, but some of our line-mates did disappear somewhere. Good times.

Well, more like Oak Park. We closed the Deal; sellers missed some asbestos (they are fixing) but stole our window air-conditioners (debating). Bpu continues our tour of Chicago-land hot dog joints by approaching melt-down, which you can read all about.

We took the Deal on the house, and are awaiting inspections. If all goes well, we'll close mid May. Cpu has been very diligent with hunting down the best mortgage via the intertron and a broker. Bpu cannot wait to have a garden. After all, this Easter she did get a basket full of seeds and gardening tools. From the Target Easter Bunny, no less.

Is Bpu's new nickname for our green Subaru Forester.

iPu and Cpu doing ok. Baby is happy and healthy, nursing ok, awaiting results of GBS test. 7lb 14 oz. and 21 inches long, February 7, 11:17 pm.

Yes, we are having another baby, Cpu is due at the end of this freaking month. We didn't have our baby yet, but she is due to arrive very soon.

It was bound to happen: after all, Daddy cuts his own hair.

On the Saturday before New Year's eve, Bpu and I set out on foot to take the brown line to Millenium Park to do some ice skating.

Bpu calls our old San Francisco TIC "My old home". Say it with a sad tone and a pout to get the idea. This is the opposite of my new home.

I spent a few evenings and one all-nighter hot-gluey-gluing a cardboard Percy the Tank Engine costume together for Bpu.

Bpu, Cpu, and our friends and their toddler went to a touristy lil apple orchard today. Bpu ate about 3 fresh donuts, clambered over some hay bales, fed some goats, checked out some pigs and ponies, and picked her first apple (a very crisp, sweet little Cortland). She also went mental about 1pm, so we split.

Bpu: "Oh, daddy, you are the crappiest."
Epu: "The crankiest?"
Bpu: "No, you are so crappy."

Cpu: "If the baby is a girl, should we name the baby Trixie?"

Bpu loves watching Meerkat Manor. I can barely remember how this was discovered.

I've moved just about everything from eta.org to here. Some people still read the slide-taking guide, apparently. The resume, it seems, is still a big hit with people looking for testers
