Guess what! Trevor needs a hair cut! (Yes, I meant to spell it that way.) He has one hair that is about four inches long. I would save the lock in his baby book, but it's microscopically fine. Oh, yeah, where is that baby book?
I know I haven't been posting lately, and my excuse is that there are no new pictures yet. Soon, soon, I promise.

I've lowered my standards
Is it just me, or does having a kid cause people to lower their standards for certain things?
Example: I overheard a conversation today about the new breakfast joint downtown, where I have been hesitant to eat based on some less than favorable reviews. These experiences, too, sounded disappointing, with stories ranging from a plate of home-fried potatoes still clumped together after being pulled out of the freezer, to "no substitutions," (a Corvallis phenomenon?), and stale orange juice. Well, the reason these people ended up going there was that they have some kind of play area for the kids. Got me to thinking, yes, I'd rather have mediocre food and service if I can have a moment's peace to drink my coffee. It's a sad state of affairs.
Corvallis is considered kid-friendly, a good place to raise a family. Have you noticed, the public spaces as a whole are not designed with families in mind? When I'm at central park and I all of a sudden want a foofy caffeinated beverage, where is the kiosk?
Are you with me on this? Or am I just complaining? Because I can keep going.
