The Pip’s birthday was yesterday, but we’re having his birthday party today, because that’s when the indoor playground was available. He had two requests for his birthday: that we have a party at Tumbling Tykes, and that one friend in particular be invited. So, well, we’re having his party at Tumbling Tykes, and his buddy D. will be there. along with 9-10 other friends from day care.
This post is mostly an excuse to post this graphic of the invitation, because I’m proud of my rudimentary design skillz:
And also to say that this is about all you’re getting out of me today, because little-kid party. On the heels of a rotten cold earlier this week, and with SteelyKid possibly coming down with the same bug…
Morituri te salutamus, and all that.
Careful: Somebody, whose name may or may not be Jenny, might actually have that phone number.
Chad,
You have some cute kids and you seem to be a solid, adoring dad. That’s all great, of course.
But is ScienceBlogs the proper venue for all your kiddie pics? Seems like they’d be more appropriate for Facebook or something like it.
@See Noknowledge #2: You aren’t from around here, are you? Because you clearly are utterly unaware of Dr. Orzel’s excellent work-life balance. Try something new for you — do a little research before commenting.
To Michael #3:
That’s quite a “balance” for Chad, and for ScienceBlogs.
Of the last 15 articles at Science Blogs, 6 were by Chad, and of those 6, 5 were about his kids or neighborhood stuff.
Come to ScienceBlogs, where a third of the articles are about a certain contributor’s kids’ activities and neighborhood squirrel antics!
@#4 –
That would be because most of his actual science blogging is over at Forbes now, with a roughly weekly link back to those articles with a summary so you can decide if you want to read them or not, or comment on them here or there (pointless IMHO) or not at all.
To CCPhysicist:
Does the CC stand for Community College?
Sorry you don’t like the kid pictures. I’ll be happy to give you a full refund.
I post what I feel like posting. Sometimes, that means you get a big run of kid pictures; sometimes that means a long run of book reviews or detailed physics posts or grumbling about academia. If you don’t like what I’m posting at a given point, well, wait a while, and it’ll be different.
I can’t do anything about other people on ScienceBlogs not posting enough.
