Lying in class is a good way to make students listen (a fond memory) – thanks Kottke

What IS a kid thinking when he covers himself in Vaseline (OK, OJ’s mom-in-law made it sound worse than it was) — better, I suppose, than covering self with poop.

When the Tsarists are crushed, a dissection of the failures of the Russian failures will clearly show that the breaking of the Black Sea Accord was a key turning point in the Tsarist fortunes.  (Multi-page map of war to date)

Funniest thing that Ben has EVER DONE!

Heya folks, here's a few pictures of the little fella:

A few quick details:

Benjamin Jacob Betke
February 14th, 10:15 pm
6 lbs, 14 oz
53 cm long

18 hours of labour to an emergency C-Section. Not too fun, but ultimate outcome was okay. Mom's doing well, gradually healing, and we're figuring out his schedule. So's he.

Enough for now, but more later!

This strikes just a little too close to the bone for my liking…

That makes this sucker big.

And straight.
