ex machina

curious, indeed. today, i walked into a seldom used room in our basement to discover two unused rolls of 200 speed film, a walking stick and an empty bag that would appear to hold tent paraphenelia. i'm 90 percent positive that these items weren't there the last time i went into the room and 100 percent positive that they don't belong to me or my wife. i asked kris if she knew anything about it. she didn't. odder still, she told me that she went into the basement last week and discovered the door was open, but didn't think much of it at the time as she assumed that i had left the door open. i didn't.

i guess the only logical answer is that someone broke into our house - a house with two large dogs, on a cul de sac surrounded by elderly folks and stay-at-home-moms, and left some very peculiar items behind. we bought the house from the son of a woman who had passed away unexpectedly while returning from a biking expedition in europe. i have a wacky theory that someone, perhaps a family member or an old friend decided to return a few items.

maybe it's not true, but it'll help kris and i sleep a little better tonight.

“"it is hard to be brave," said piglet, sniffing slightly, "when you're only a Very Small Animal." rabbit, who had begun to write very busily, looked up and said: "it is because you are a very small animal that you will be Useful in the adventure before us."”

[ about ]

this site chronicles the continuing adventures of my son, odin, who was unexpectedly born on the fourth of july at 25 weeks gestation, weighing 1 pound 7 ounces.

he's quite a fighter and you can always send him a postcard to the most current address listed here if you're inspired by his adventures. see the postcard project/google maps mashup to see a map of the postcards.

if you're new, you can browse the archives to catch up. and don't forget to watch a few movies that i made while we were in the neonatal intensive care unit. or if you want the abridged version and you can find a copy, you can read about his adventures in the november 2005 issue of parents magazine.
