A gorgeous piece accompanied by unearthly photographs. That first pic, with Adam, clear in his delight, while the world whirls around him, grips the heart like a vise. You seem a truly great father, someone who'll be vise around his heart, shortly.

The <i>wubbitch</i> thing is pretty cute by the way. The buckwheat baby downstairs has still not taken up battle cries but has, instead, combined the howling and shrieking into a type of ... performance art [?] that is significantly more than the sum of its parts. Indeed.
