    Hi there

    I hope you're doing fine (being expectant - is that understandable English? )

    I have a question for you: the last few days I've been reading the DH Lawrence short stories thread. I've read it from the beginning, so I figured out a lot of stuff about Things, the Prussian Officer, Sun, Odour of Chrysanthemums, The White Stocking and... and... Well, I'm drowning in it to be honest

    One thing I figured out which I either had forgotten or never knew, is that you wrote a thesis on Mr. Lawrence. I wonder whether you might be willing to let me read it? From what I figured in the thread, it will be an interesting read

    Take care (toes crossed) and greetings, Sapphire

    oh wow...that would be upsetting. I can't imagine waiting that long. The thing is babies that small probably don't have that good of a long term memory. But I think once reunited it won't take long to rebond. Think positive. I think this will all work out fine in the end...look how adorable your son is. He seems like a sweet good natured baby and that is vitally important. I am sure once back together he will love you both very much.

    Hi V, I will answer your PM tomorrow since I am going tonight to babysit Brooke. I was too tired to do so last night; sorry about that. It's funny because I was just thinking the same thing - been awhile since we really wrote to each other.

    How is everyone and Matthew? Are you able to know anything now about his daily activities; can you call or email to the baby house? I sure hope this month flies by quickly.

    When my first child was born I read Benjamin Spock and tried to follow his advices. For the second I trusted my instincts and spoiled her a bit. You and your wife both are intelligent and educated people so you will be fine I am sure.

    I've read your latest blog and feel so happy for you three!
    Be aware that being a parent is the hardest and the most responsible task in your life. I am sure you will be an excellent parent!

Janine

For those of us who were regulars here on Lit Net many years ago and remember Janine, I'm saddened to report that on November 27th, 2018, our dear friend passed away. She was 68 years old. Eternal rest grant unto Janine, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.

Matthew and Shakespeare

by Virgil on 12-18-2017 at 10:01 PM
Let me copy this over from my personal blog. Matthew is my son and you can go back into my past blogs to learn more about him and our adoption. Anyway he's eight years old now. This happened the other day.

OK, I was reading a Shakespeare play (Henry VI, Part 1) out of my big complete volume containing all of Shakespeare’s plays and poetry. The binding is literally at least six inches thick, and is about eight by ten in dimension. It’s a big book.

New Family Member: Tiger

by Virgil on 05-24-2015 at 09:25 PM
Those that know me here know that my wife and I have been dog people all our lives, but last week Matthew and I stumbled upon a little kitten beside our house and of course found him irresistible. We now have a kitten to add to our rambunctious dog and hyperactive son. I posted a summary on my personal blog, but here are the first two paragraphs:

Of course this was completely unplanned. Thursday, May 14th (I date it for posterity’s sake) after dinner at about half past six Matthew

My 2014 Reads

by Virgil on 01-31-2015 at 10:38 PM
Hi all

I haven't been on in a while. I think I last mentioned we had a new pup in the family, and she has been a handful. I don't remember my other pups driving us crazy like this one. So since my wife was with her all day, I had to give up part of my evenings to releave her and stay with the dog. Evenings after work is my usual computer time, and there was no way this pooch was going to let me be.

Then just after Christmas my computer went bonkers and after looking

A New Addition to the Family

by Virgil on 10-07-2014 at 08:57 PM
Well, we've enlarged our family with a new four legged member, a black Labrador Retriever pup. She's special, and just as cute as can be. I can't remember how to upload pictures here on Lit Net, so if you're interested, come by my Ashes blog to see:

And actually you can see the breeder's litter of pups at an earlier post, posted before we were able to select one.
