like the moon
Today marks 10 months since Nico joined us. It’s hard to believe, until you take a look and see that she’s already practically walking and talking (well, not quite yet). You know how parents say stuff like, “They grow up so fast.” Well, it’s true. They do. Seriously, our little baby is hardly a baby […]

Read More →Morning in America, don’t? I really wasn’t planning to blog about 2pac on this momentous day, but I’m finding an iressistable synchronicity in my drafts folder. Tupac’s “Changes” is one of those evergreen tracks, like it or not, that still gets regular play on urban radio (in our case, here in Boston, that’s JAM’N 94.5). […]
Read More →someone asked me on flickr whether the image below is “supposed to be scary” — barack o’lantern by becca “only,” i replied, “if you’re afraid of a crypto-muslim quasi-communist pseudo-american halloween” which is, unfortunately, a joke that wouldn’t play in certain parts of this country. but four days out from THE MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION OF […]
Read More →A few weekends ago, me & B & the Neeks visited the Decordova Museum in nearby Lincoln, MA. It’s a favorite spot of ours for taking a stroll or having a picnic, and we were gassed to bring Nico to a place filled with such marvels. I was pretty amused, actually, by her bemused reactions […]
Read More →I knew that having children would also mean having cheerios. Finding them under foot, in the creases of the car seat, stuck to the wall, etc. When Becca and I moved into our present apartment — previously lived in by a couple and their one-year-old — we cleaned from top to bottom what was already […]
Read More →Pardon the lack of posting here. Between the start of the school year, the advent of a mobile Nico, and Firefox 3 totally messing up my ability to use del.icio.us (any tips?), I’ve been short on time for long posts and linkthink alike. Plenty soon come!

Read More →Off to the Cape for a week or 2 or so 4 some r&r w/ fam&friends. Blogging will be intermittent for a bit. Go outside! Here’s a sneak peek of our lil trio on a bon voyage —
Read More →It’s hard to believe, but Nico passed the 6 month mark a week ago. I’ve been working intermittently on a Nico Concreto followup charting the last few months (the latter half of ol’ girl’s life), and tho I’m not completely satisfied with what I’ve assembled, if I don’t share it soon she’ll have become (if […]

Read More →I don’t like Hallmark® holidays, but I love my daughter. Today’s more about her than me, no? Thanks for making me a dad, kiddo. Te adoro —
Read More →aka, the big 3-2 not much more to say but i guess that number’s commensurate with the number of gray hairs i’ve got plus, like, having a job and a daughter onward & sidewayz… feel free to leave me a nice comment about not seeming nearly as old as i am or, better yet, buy […]
Read More →Today marks 4 marvelous months of Nico, aka Droolie Andrews, aka Spitty Cent, aka Squeakapeaka, aka lots of other silly names that should prolly remain unpublished. Can’t wait for her to come up with some for us. As you can see by this latest bit of Nicovision, she’s growing quite chatty in her old age […]
Read More →Today marks 3 months since Nico joined us in the post-womb world. It’s been a really wonderful time. And I mean that — filled with wonder. Seeing and hearing her learn to interact with the people and things around her has been totally fascinating. The arrival of smiles, focused eyes, a strong neck (keep keepin […]
Read More →still totally delighted by nico’s sudden smiles, coos and gurgles aside from our silly faces, the most consistent smilemaker = this mobile (thx, mom!), esp the cat so focused ! so expressiv !
Read More →The number of testimonials still rolling in — and rolling along — make it clear how many of us were touched by Tim. This past weekend, DJ Duo and Carlos B of the QE2 crew dedicated their longstanding, all-night Saturday/Sunday show to the man. (Hopefully they recorded it and can share it soon.) Here’s how […]
