Lil’ monkey’s first Steam Train ride. Can you tell?
Our Baba’s day this year was nothing if not a sign of parental arrival. Half of the events of the day were exactly the stuff of my dreams, pre-parenthood: kids bringing me a breakfast tray in bed; my making pancakes for ‘em; us going for [...]
Okay, so my son is not a Hindu god. I mean, there are so many other multi-limbed deities to choose from. Where’s the elephant trunk, for one? Also, he’s kind of the Placer in My Path of Obstacles, rather than the Remover thereof (one of Ganesha’s attributes). Except I did read [...]

Baba: Okay, sweetie, it’ time to get ready for bed!
Monkey (in a petulant tone): Nnnnnnnnnnnno!
Baba: Now why would you be cranky like that? When I’m being all gracious and civilized.
