You still there? Yeah? OK, good.

I’m sorry things have been so quiet around here. There’s been lots going on. Mostly, unfortunately, stuff that I can’t or don’t want to talk about here. That’s the nature of blogging, I suppose.

But I think I’ll be back this week.

I have stories to share. Happy, well-rested, night-weaned family stories to share. Fun adventures around the city stories to share. Cool, fun stuff to make stories to share. Soon. Very, very soon.

For now, let me distract you with a few pictures of an uber-cute babe (if I do say so myself) enjoying his very first chocolate chip cookie. For him it was an experience, a deeply gratifying multi-sensory experience. Watching him eat that cookie reminded me how good they are, freshly baked and warm, and how I should appreciate them on a much deeper level than I have been known to.

So there, my friends, go bake up some cookies and enjoy. Because, I have it on good authority, they are so worth the effort.
