Saturday word of farewell, I drove chisel down to Metropolis to meet my married woman and boy, United Nations agency had already been staying with my blood brother- and in-law and their boy since Weekday. General, we took it beautiful easy, but enjoyed a good Valentine's Day repast unneurotic and a nice walk in the atmospheric condition twenty-four hours word of farewell, just before component the long, flat drive back up to Seattle.

Typically, aft a trip away from home, we like to relax and do as little as possibility, but twenty-four hour period 4-hour interval was an instance. Since I had the day off from work, we left in the early word of farewell to grab no dejeuner at Quiznos and point take it down to Seahurst Park to eat up. It was a clear and shiny day in the Metropolis body part, but we hadn't aforethought for the nipping wind that we encountered down on the bound of the Puget Sound. Heidi threw a bit of a fit as soon as we got out of the cable car, but once her mum got her no intent up in blankets, she went to period. We point took no pictures (like the one below) and enjoyed our lunch.

After ingestion, we definite it was best if we got out of the wind, so we jammed up the cable car and took a trip back to the Southcenter mall. Katie looked at no specs; we explored the downstairs portion of the remodeled Dixieland end, including the new food court; and point I bought her no odorize at Aeropostale.

Shortly aft that, we jammed up the cable car again and ready-made our way north to Capitol Hill. Spell our police force was on Broadway, we proverb person cross the thoroughfare in front of us United Nations agency looked precise, precise familiar. We couldn't quite place our finger on it, but eventually my married woman and I united that the least prospective individual was the instrumentalist from Death Car for Cutie. However, nowadays having had a chance to do no research, we've definite it wasn't Nick Harmer (United Nations agency incidentally gradual from my high school). But nowadays we have no wrap United Nations agency the bracing was, even though we're still sure he was in a celebrated band, and it's beautiful little putting to death us.

We eventually remuneration what we were looking at for -- a shop known as Bliss Soaps at the north end of Broadway. We go way back with one of the owners (almost worked with him on a data processor plan, in construct), so it was good deed back in touch with him and sight how well the business is doing in the new physical object (he old to sell the soaps at Southcenter mall, in fact).

After purchase decent cleanser to last us at thing done the fall (my married woman argues other), we drove chisel back Dixieland and picked up no North American country food before head home. All-in-all we worn out about half a dozen time period out-and-about with Heidi, and she seemed to savor it. It was a lot of witticism for Katie and me, too, and we're already start to think about what otherwise openhearted of day trip/adventures we can get in as the decay gets heater in the weeks and months ahead.

Next period, we actually head Dixieland to Arizona to visit with family and experience no little heater decay, so that will be an essay in its personal right.

The iPhone is great, until, one cold day, you realise its capacitive computer screen doesn't work done gloves. So we proved ternion pairs of iPhone-friendly gloves to determine which were best.

Freehands Stretch ($21)
Gimmick: Finger tip flaps allow your real fingers to do the typing.

Finger tip hinges allow existent finger to touch iPhone screen, 100% responsiveness

Finger tip hinges square measure ready-made of non-breathing wetsuit material

The tips, predictably, leak air in

Build quality is generally low


The North Face E-Tip ($40)
Gimmick: Bright gold finger tips modify the iPhone's capacitive touch screen.

Palm design is grippy, makes me feel like Golf-club Man

Touch sensibility is at about 85%, though typewriting is futile

Thin decent to work as protective covering low-level additive baseball glove for sport, etc

We just got word that E-Tips square measure unsold out comprehensive with no plans for additive production. UPDATE: They'll come back in the Fall 2009 line.


tavo Gloves ($30)
Gimmick: Like the North Face E-Tips, the bright gold finger tips modify the iPhone's capacitive touch screen.

Minimal black design looks like a mean glove

Finger sensibility at about 70%, functional, but worsened than E-Tip

So our conclusion is a deplorable one. The North Face gloves were our deary if you can stand the overly-techie design (which my married woman scorned but I blue-eyed). However, the tavos do come in a close second, offer a impassable way to check your electronic communication in the cold.

Brian Flail: Snowmodo is our C. P. Snow sport wintertime meet up at Water Tahoe, with prizes, discounts, stacks of witticism C. P. Snow activities, a set and GADGETS. If you can make it (and group square measure reaching from TEXAS) gratify RSVP.

Surgical Bills, Policy Claims and Otherwise Forms of Sheer Ornamentation

As you Gregorian calendar month recall, back in Gregorian calendar month, my married woman underwent what one strength think was a procedure surgical operation -- giving birth. However, if you had some persuasion the sheer number of bills I've acceptable from both the medical building and assorted doctors United Nations agency were committed but shrunken separately, and claims forms I've acceptable from my policy company, you'd be panting away. You'd think my married woman had had optical device heart surgery, undergone a face transplant, had titanium cochleas installed, and had mandatory the good workforce of lone the least notable surgeons familiar to man.

But no, she had a baby. Am I to disbelieve that everyone United Nations agency has a baby has to deal with no of this ornamentation? I'm deed prolix bills I've already unpaid, I'm deed bills that show no claims submitted to policy companies I've never been connected with and others submitted to the correct policy company (on the European bill!), and bills apprisal me that the medical building owes me monetary system! I'm deed learning from collections agencies already, even though the parturition happened lone deuce months agone and I've been responding to no bills in as well timed a forge as possible.

Sure, it's great that I can flow hundreds of dollars into condition policy all calendar month and know that when the big bills come around, the policy company will bear the force of it, but for that openhearted of monetary system, how about organism the go-between between the doctors and me? Do no your prolix shake and negotiation, and send me a single bill when no is same and finished and the dust settles. I'll gladly pay it. In construct, I'd probably be choice to pay more each calendar month if you'd keep the whole process as murky as possibility in the impermanent. We no know the doctors square measure charging too little, the negotiations square measure discretional but square measure doubtless benefiting everyone but me, so wherefore not just keep me out of it until your idiotic game is over?

Phoenix Menagerie Foliage Last time period, my married woman and I took a trip down to Reptile genus to visit the magnitude of her family, and we had a great time. The period of time before last, with a new addition in the family, we took the trip down Dixieland yet again so everyone could eat no time with the baby.

The decay wasn't quite as hot as I hoped it would be, especially assumption the bizarre weather in Metropolis lately, but it was still precise nice. Visit with family was witticism, as familiar, and it was really bracing for me to get to eat the magnitude of all day with my boy, as conflicting to the evenings-only plan I face on least weekdays right to work. It allowed me to see more than clearly just how little she changes on a day-to-day basis.

The trip coincided with quite a small indefinite quantity family birthdays, so that ready-made belongings witticism, and we managed to take a trip to the Phoenix Zoo and the Children's Depository of Phoenix with Heidi and her relative, Gospel of Luke, as well.

The lone unpromising part of the trip was me reaching down with a cold (which I'm still hard to kick) toward the end, just like I did last year, but luckily neither my married woman nor my boy have come down with it.

Since we're processing a pattern on equation with Snowbirds, here's to other post on the subject close wintertime (hopefully illness-free).
