Current toddler status, 6/26: She played at her sand-and-water table while I hit ripe plums with a nine-iron. A good day.

David Letterman throws baseballs at an archery target in his backyard, and Onstad hits plums with a golf club.  Coincidence?

Also, what in blazes is a "sand-and-water table"?  I mean, besides the obvious ("a table with sand and water!").

If I remember my very early childhood right, a sand-and-water table is sort of an indoor sandbox -- basically, a box on legs containing sand into which water can be poured. It's designed so the very young can enjoy sand and water in a relatively contained environment. Here's one from Amazon.

Dang, that is so much fancier than the ones that I used at school.  Ours were wooden; these are all plastic with rounded edges so soft heads don't contact sharp corners.  Kids these days!  You protect them from themselves, but who will protect them from the super-bugs that their mothers create with antiviral tissues?

We also had plastic funnels and little dumptrucks and such with which to amuse ourselves whilst playing in the sand-and-water table.

They sell sand-and-water tables here but they seem rather superfluous in a sand-and-water environment.

Current toddler status, 7/03: She accidentally overheard me confiding in a friend that my dog has been acting like a real asshole lately.

[theinevitable]

man, onstad straight up Despises the little dog.

[wombat]

You used to love that dog, Mr Onstad.

Somebody's got a new vocabulary word?

Man I dread the day I have to stop cussin' because of children. That's gonna be a tough one.

Current toddler status, 7/05: My little girl has, without human interference, grown the hairstyle of Gene Clark circa 1965. Maybe there is a God.

Gene Clark of the Byrds?

Current toddler status, 7/09: A little girl in clogs and barrettes danced gaily to the Teletubbies theme song while her food-poisoned dad sat on the couch, shivering and clutching a pillow to his chest.

Didn't Chekhov write a play about this?  Like wasn't that the entire point of "The Cherry Orchard".. like teletubbies and food poisoning?


EDIT: 1700 posts, oh my!

I am proud to say that I have never had food poisoning, possibly because I have been vegetarian or vegan for almost half of my life.  Oh, and I don't drink water contaminated with human waste; really, Onstad, this is a basic no-no.
