Jacob got a much-needed dose of Vitamin D yesterday in the city. There was plenty of window shopping on Chestnut Street to keep everyone happy, and good eats at Judy's Cafe.

Lococo's Pizza is one of the things that we love about our neighborhood. Jacob can be the kid that he is and no one blinks - and the pizza ROCKS. I tried mightily to limit myself to 2 pieces, but couldn't. We get the same thing every time - a pie called the "Employee Special," which is hamburger, artichoke and green onion. I justified by 3rd piece pretty easily - #1, I went on a jog before dinner - #2, I'm still abiding by my New Year's resolution not to have sweets after 7pm. I kid you not, I have lost about 5lbs. doing that and nothing else!

Me and the Kid

Jacob is almost 1 year old, I can't believe it.

Went to Sam's for brunch today with Uncle Bjorn and the Kid. It was too cold to sit outside today so we enjoyed our fried calamari without the seagulls of unusual size peering over our plates ("Mine! Mine!). Bjorn is a friend of Peter's from college, and he's launching an exciting new company that focuses on birds and bird watching. There will be more info available when he's ready to launch.

Loved this shirt - it's hanging in the window of a kids' store in SF. I am so coming back.

Wounded Daddy

Peter took a spill on his bike yesterday. Considering it's been 5 years since he last fell off his (mountain) bike, it's a good record. He's feeling better today but the road rash is pretty painful. His motto is, "if you ain't bleedin', you ain't bikin."
