Puerto Vallarta, Mexico


These speak for themselves. Thanks to a couple of kind friends (Jason and Kristen, you rock!), the Locks family was able to take our first real family vacation. We got to say "Hola" and "Con permisso" a lot, and Bri drank a little sea water and skinned her face on the Mexican cobblestones.This is because she's not yet acquired an appropriate understanding of acceptable vs. unacceptable risk. All in all, we had a great time. We saw iguanas, some jellyfish, and a fringed lizard. (How cool is THAT?!)

So Long and Thanks for all the Raisin Bran...

To all of the wonderful friends who responded to my recent post regarding the unsatisfactory depletion of Raisin Bran in the Locks household--
Thank you for your concern. I'm doing OK now, and the lazy susan (should that be capitalized?) is fully stocked.

I'll continue to update you on all news job- and breakfast cereal-related.

2 Days 'Til...

My daughter, Brianna, was 20 months old yesterday. I've come to realize that, after 19 months, it sounds weird to use 'months' as a time mark. "She's 20 months old", which isn't old in the first place, and just seems stilted. I think I'll begin using the method of countdown for a while and see if that makes more sense to me. This week, I'll count down how long until I get to see her every day, since school will be out. Brianna's now 2 days 'til. So am I. Hold it--that's confusing...
