In the last few days, Jerry has:

1. Started rolling a ball
   
2. Sat in the high-chair for th first time
   
3. Started to play peek-a-boo (he’s good)
   
4. Sat in the shopping cart seat
   
5. Has visibily demonstrated wanting to be picked up
   
   
   Wow!

Lately, Jerry has been making squealing noises which sound like a pig! It is very amazing to see how much he is growing. He has turned from a quiet baby who didn’t open his eyes or move into a babbling, banging, moving boy - all in a period of 6 months!

Jerry now has his own keyboard! It is an SGI-made dual Japanese/American keyboard. The youngest kernel hacker I know!

My old grade-school classmate, Ben, recently made contact with me. Since we haven't seen each other since I was 13, I sent him (albiet, 3 months later) a brief history of my life since high school. I enjoy seeing how much has happened in 10 years...

In late 1995 I departed Alaska to Seattle, chasing after my girlfriend in high school who had recently moved to Seattle. Naturally, we broke up after about two months but since I had used college as an excuse (to leave home) it was a good result.
