It always seems to happen that one thing breaks and then everything else follows. The day before Walker was born, our garage door decided to stop working. This after having it fixed back in January. And I only started parking the car in there back in late May after two years of keeping the car

It's been awhile since I posted last and now the pressure is on...Gigi is on the Internet. She bought a computer and a family friend is helping her get her wireless and browser set up so it automatically starts up with her email and the blog. Walker even had his live debut on the Internet

You'd think the small person who gurgles and cries and poops would have driven the point home but it took an incident yesterday to really cement the fact that, yes, I'm now a parent. Larry went to Safeway yesterday, July 19, to get fixin's for dinner. (The date is important.) I get a call from

We have a few competitions going on over here in The Cheese House (yes, that is what we call our house here by Ocean Beach -- very sophisticated, no? Or, would you prefer Chateau Fromage?). The first competition is something I recently noticed. I've commented on the cats' behavior since Walker has come home. I'm

The other evening we had a conversation about what inventions most impacted our lives. Shirley's grandmother had said she was most impressed by store-bought mayonnaise. Her mother said the radio. After some serious consideration, Shirley said the cell phone. I added the Internet to the list and Larry said the personal computer. I'm not sure

It's been a week. I can't believe it. It's been a week since my mother-in-law and grandmother came to town and that coincided with Walker joining the family. I feel like we have a little house guest who needs some special attention. It's hard to believe he's going to stay when everyone else goes back

Apparently there is some truth to the fact that this Internet thing is viral -- I understand that my blog is being passed around to a bunch of folks -- so I'll be sure to keep the blog "rated G" and I'm sure I won't share, ahem, intimate details. BABY YOUNG is officially Walker Douglas
