So here we are in Davis.
It's strange being back, but also feels like we never left, because it's so much more familiar than Virginia.
It's weird being in a place where a good portion of babies are carried in slings and other people breastfeed in public.
It also made me realize how odd it is to have a large percentage of the population between the ages of 18 and 22. I feel old here.
We haven't seen all the people we wanted to see, which is a bit depressing, but that's life.
I found some organic pumpkin pie flavored baby food at the co-op, so Leif gets Thanksgiving dinner! Or dessert, anyways. They also had turkey and vegetable flavor, but since we haven't done much with solids yet, that's probably too much to try at once.
He ate a slice of banana the other day. He's been throwing fits when I eat anything, so when we went to Ben & Jerry's, I got a banana royal and shared the banana with him.
Leif did great on the plane flight - he slept for half the time (long enough for me to watch most of Charlie's Angels 2. Weird weird movie), and was pretty quiet the rest of the time, though a bit bored. He also slept the whole time on the train.
Tomorrow we take the train down to southern California to visit my mom's side of the family for Thanksgiving.
I miss Davis. I wish we could stay here, but it lacks good paying jobs and reasonably clean air.
When I was 14 or so, I used to watch seaQuest, not in small part because of Jonathan Brandis, who played Lucas. Yet another in my string of crushes on geeks (or people who played geeks, anyways). He apparently killed himself the other day. So yeah... not sure what to think about that. He (and seaQuest in general) were one of the bright points in my life that year, at a time when I was starting on my depressive/suicidal phase.
Here's what Wil Wheaton says. Not surprisingly, I'm not the only one who associates the two of them. They played similar characters (seaQuest was widely considered to be StarTrek underwater, and Lucas the Wesley of seaQuest), and I had crushes on both of them.
Must leave the cafe and go visit people...
