Clearing out some junk. And if things stay functional, I may update the theme in a while. I miss the old “arch and castle.”

I’m sure Eric does too.

. . . for a more civilized age.

That age being about 19 months old.

Not as clumsy or random as a blaster.

Paige, the much-feared spawn of Hurin, is nineteen weeks old now, and wanted to say hello.

If you are in the mood for an achingly beautiful soundtrack, I highly recommend the soundtrack for “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.”  Perhaps it helps to have seen the movie, but there are some tracks in there that are well. . . haunting seems the proper word.

Great movie too by the way.

Forces of evil beware! I have procreated!

On 8/18/2009, shortly after 5:00pm, the wonderful Mrs. Hurin gave birth to our beloved little daughter. 8 lbs (even!). Healthy and beautiful!

Two hours old!

Mrs. Hurin is now officially my hero. I have seen her endure (and continue to recover from) things that would have left me a quivering mess of sobs and appeals to any higher power for sweet release.

I really need to take this one to heart. . .
