Seriously, go there.

(Thanks for the link, Ben!)

And I got to play with other people’s kids…iz.

It’s good when your friends have kids, because you can borrow them for short intervals and not get sick of them.

See?  They’re so cute when you don’t have to wake up at 3am with them every night.

Nature is also working hard on baby-making:

You may recall that a while back I posted a video of a Canuckian artist for whom I have a particular affection.

A new video was posted a few days ago - it’s a simple enough video, just Jef on a stage playing guitar, but it’s lovely.

This is what I like about Jef’s guitar work; he’s quick and sure but never showy, folky but never rustic.  There’s a kind of quiet grace to it, as though he’s found some deep well of tranquility and joy, and he draws all his music from it.

I’ve been listening to the man since the day I was born - quite literally, and I never get tired of him.

I’m told that the package has arrived, so I finally get to post my squid project:

Made for Anthony!

I think this was my favourite thing to make so far.
