It’s time to start recording all the speculation on Baby A and Baby B. Nieves: 2 girls. Last Monday, Valerie went in for her first pregnancy check-up, which happens around the 10 week time frame. This is when they confirm the due date and you get the first sonogram picture of the baby. I was supposed to be there but the doctor’s office was running late and I couldn’t wait.

This drag race of a Eurofighter and a Bugatti Veyron proves nothing, but it was great fun speculating which one was going to win.

As you can imagine, we had sentimental attachments to this dishwasher, blindly overlooking its progressively worsening issues; never mind that you couldn’t hear yourself think while it was running. Nearly [...] Bill and Maria’s Halloween party in 2000 turned out to be a rather important shindig for several people; it’s where Valerie and I met for the first time.
