A quick note to say I’m going to be offline more than usual over the next few days in preparation for my son starting first grade (!!!) next week. I have a bunch of posts scheduled, though, including the vlog tomorrow, in which Helen and I discuss the classic theme of sperm banks and turkey basters.

Please do stop by, then, but just note that comment moderation may be delayed and I may be slow in responding to e-mail. (Hey, I couldn’t write a parenting blog if I didn’t go parent once in a while.)

Have a great rest-of-the-week!
