So, we decided a while ago not to have any more kids. We also decided that if we ever got the urge to have more kids, we should adopt. I know I'd rather give an existing kid a good home than make a new one at this point.

Warning: More than you may want to hear about my nuts.So, I got a vasectomy on Thursday. It wasn't too bad. Felt like ( Read more... )

So, I told Marcellus today that "Easter is when the zombified corpse of Ronald Reagan rises from the grave and lays colored eggs in your lawn."

I was recently given a pair of roller blades, and I used them to commute to work today. I'm not very good; I'm passable on roller skates and almost passable on ice skates, and roller blades seem to be the hardest of the three. Anyway, getting to work was no problem. I tripped on a side walk crack once, but there were no other mishaps ( Read more... )

I've missed everyone over the last year, but it was when I was actually in town but didn't have time for much other than grad school and family.

a = (1,2)
b, c = a
print 'b: ', b
print 'c: ', c
b: 1
c: 2

(b, c), d = a
print 'b: ', b
print 'c: ', c
print 'd: ', d
b: 1
c: 2
d: 3

I know it isn't really that funky, but I just have higher expectations when it comes to Python syntax.
