For anyone still lingering out there, waiting for new content, I suspect this post is not the thing you&#8217;ve been waiting for.

		<description><![CDATA[So I was driving somewhere with my five-year-old son on Saturday night.  The car paused at a stoplight long enough for him to look out the window at a large crowd of people, dressed for dancing and waiting for a tram to the city.  Most were female, which caused my son to remark: [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are certain kinds of family interactions that I sort of wonder: how often does this happen in other households?
My five-year old son has been playing tonight with some whiteboard markers and an eraser I brought home from university.  A few minutes ago, he plonked his whiteboard down beside me and asked:  &#8220;Mummy? [...]]]></description>

This morning, editing was taking place with my son bouncing up and down all around me on the couch, chanting various things, clambering up my back, and generally doing the sorts of things kids do when [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Mummy?  What are you doing?&#8221;
&#8220;I&#8217;m doing my dissertation.&#8221;
&#8220;Ooooh.  Can *I* do your dissertation?&#8221;
There are moments when I might seriously consider this offer&#8230;

My obsession competes with the opposing impulses of someone who, disliking things that go bump in the night, tends to leave them on.  The delicate and ever-shifting balance of power in this ongoing conflict is currently being upset by [...]]]></description>

He&#8217;ll ask:  &#8220;Again?&#8221;  And then:  &#8220;Again?&#8221;  On and on until I finally announce a countdown &#8211; a number of times we can play the game, before we hit the final time, and then have to stop.  Around this time last [...]]]></description>
