Rear View

It's been another eventful week for our little family.

Reagan vomited all over herself & her car seat.  Yeah.

I watched it all in my rearview mirror.  She coughed a little, & then once, twice, three times she vomited.  I gagged all the way home, hoping she didn't have a stomach virus (which she did not, thankfully).  Naturally, I took Reagan inside immediately & stripped her down & cleaned her up.  What I didn't do was thoroughly clean her car seat . . . fast forward to a few days later, & picture Trey opening the car because he plans to take it to Baton Rouge.

Circumstances

Herodotus is quoted as having said, "Circumstances rule men; men do not rule circumstances."

I admit I'm only familiar with the quote because the character Niles on Frasier uses it in an episode, but nonetheless, I don't know that I agree with Herodotus' fatalistic view.

Last night I was busy doing something in the kitchen when I heard a ping from my iPhone that I recognized as the sound my phone makes when my Drudge Report application notifies me of breaking news.  Drudge is good about only sounding the alert when there is actual breaking news (unlike FoxNews, which I love, but they really have become the network that cried Breaking News).  I picked up my iPhone & read that Steve Jobs had died.
