great expectations

ok, it feels silly to try to blog right now, 3 weeks into this life. It feels silly in no small part because I'm typing one handed while Carter sleeps across my lap, his relatively full shock of curly-hair cradled in my other hand.  

So I'll just try to entice my erstwhile co-blogger into a simple list that promises to be the kind of reflective and debatable material ideal for a blog, its easy to keep up with, just a sentence every 2 days, stating something, anything, we think our kid(s) should experience.  This list of things to experience can be classically profound (a la great books) or simple (a la Mode).  

So, as a start: I recommend reading Rumi. especially the shorter poems.
