The aftermath of Little Miss Lily’s first bath.
They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love and desire and hate;
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.
They are not long, the days of wine and roses:
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.

We’re all yawning a lot over here.

I really believe that anyone that votes for McCain / Palin is out of their fucking mind.
I love the little straitjacket the nurses put her in.

The little kid ain’t too bad, either. 😉
(Many, many thanks to wicked-goddess for the pic!)
Thank you guys so much for the well-wishes! I’ll be posting more pics of our shrimp as soon as Ted pulls them off of his camera.
Miss Lilith Victoria Barrial was born on September 2, 2008. 7 lbs and change, 21 inches long.
Mom, Dad, and the little rugrat are home!
I realized today I have a thing for submarine movies. Hunt for Red October, Crimson Tide, Das Boot, the Life Aquatic… even Down Periscope.
I’m not saying this is a profound revelation. =)
Plucked from the Wilshire & Washington blog on Variety.Com

Arriving to Minneapolis today for the Republican National Convention, I couldn’t help but make a stop to one of the landmarks at the airport: The infamous men’s bathroom where Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) was caught last year for allegedly seeking a public stall tryst.
It turns out that many other arriving guests had the same idea, including Jon Stewart and the cast of “The Daily Show,” as well as a host of other passersby. Stewart and his team posed for pictures before making their way to St. Paul, where his show will tape all week. A “Daily Show” billboard on I-494 greets conventiongoers with the message, “Welcome, rich white oligarchs!”
At one point, an airport employee in a golf cart came by and stopped, pointed to the men’s room sign and said something about the landmark, as if proud of the attraction. “I didn’t understand a thing he was saying,” Stewart said.
Stewart was so moved at being there that he declined to elaborate on his thoughts of being at the site: “It’s personal, private.”
A fellow writer then emerged from the bathroom with a photo, reporting that the stall was “narrow.”
Here’s his reaction to being at what he calls “Mount Rushmore.”
