I didn't realize that my test installation of Moveable Type would induce severe tool envy in my wife Cpu, but it did. As she explains it,

"Imagine you drive taxi. All your life, you have been saving up for a used taxi. You come home, and your spouse tells you they just decided to buy themself a new Mercedes cab, just for fun."

This on the heels of her Mother's Day gift, a python script that takes a Typepad text export file (in Moveable Type import/export format) and posts the entries to Blogger.

Guys are better at solving your problems then they are listening to your feelings, and I did a pretty good job of solving the Typepad => Blogger problem. Just didn't extrapolate completely. Also, she had not mentioned her dream of hosting Moveable Type somewhere for free, or we could have worked something out.

Dwarf Fortress was introduced to me by Mr. Fortress Crack Master.

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

When we moved into sweet home Chicago to engage in some serious home improvement hell, Cpu mandated that I was not to reassemble and use the Shuttle XPC until our major improvement goals were complete.

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.

Cpu and I are getting ready to place a bid on a house. We've decided on the neighborhood. We brought in the expert family members to help us decide among the top 3 contenders. We're very very sure, and want this to be the one.

A good movie.

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.

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.

When Cpu decided she was going to live and work in China, I determined to go along with her. Unluckily, I also got a job with the Beijing Scene. We had a great time working illegally in China, eating street food, learning how to choose a good restaurant, biking with a passenger, and getting deported. We made loads of good friends along the way. My favorite way to get around in China was the train. You meet interesting people when you travel by rail.

Cpu and I once tried getting some help with our relationship. It was useful. It did bring us closer together. We had a ride on the Judah, followed by therapy, followed by breakfast. I mean, really. A nice date. Our therapist explained that we were pretty normal. It gave us more tools to deal with each other, like:
