Recounting my entries

Today I reread all my postings since I began this blog on May 2004. Makes me glad that I started such a journal. However, I do regret that I hadn't been more consistent on my entries. I'll try to do better this year.

Here's a summary of my posts that I feel had notable references:
1. "On Writing" by Stephen King
2. Stereoscopic Moon
3. Who created the Web?

Blog ending?

One of my best friends is strongly considering ending his blog. Mainly, it's for privacy's sake for his family. Perhaps he could just password protect his links and allow entry to the privileged members-only posse (ie, yours truly et al). I sure hope so.

Ear piercings

My sweet little daughters had their toddler ears pierced today. I never expected this event to happen until they were older. My wife and I had decided after they were born to let them make the choice when they got older. Perhaps do it with their teen friends as a rite of passage. However, sure enough, they are indeed older and made the decision themselves just yesterday. And they're just in their nursery and preschool years. Way off base from teen-dom.

So how'd it go? Well, I couldn't have been more proud of them. A totally smooth event. They didn't even blink. I mean really! No blinking. No cry or sudden jerk or anything. You'd think they're missing some nerves in their lobes.

I truly feel this moment as a milestone and I'm just so proud of them for being brave.

Such sweeties. And now they feel that much prettier.
