WOOcraft: Moooo moo mommy
http://woocraft.blogspot.com/2007/11/moooo-moo-mommy.html
An optimistic realist dropped back into suburban San Jose after 6 years in the Big Apple. Thursday, November 15, 2007. Just for Monkey Gal -. Here's my little guy at around 2 weeks of age. Nobody believes it since he has so much hair and looks so alert, but he's really 2 weeks old here. He was born at 8 lb 2 oz. after 28 hours of labor. Fortunately I was totally doped up for half of that (A great epidural made the pushing surprisingly easy! And again and again. Posted by Woocraft @ 4:12 PM. I went from '...

WOOcraft: The Blind Spot and the Candy Bar
http://woocraft.blogspot.com/2007/06/blind-spot-and-candy-bar.html
An optimistic realist dropped back into suburban San Jose after 6 years in the Big Apple. Tuesday, June 26, 2007. The Blind Spot and the Candy Bar. They knew they were having a baby! But it's really like that. Things I NEVER thought would happen to ole jaded me- are happening whether I want it to or not. The Preggo Brain. I stand in front of the vending machine at work for a good 10 minutes, paralyzed with indecision. Crunch bar? No doubt sounding like the crazy chick over in that. Are you a mommy yet?

http://woocraft.blogspot.com/2006/11/if-tree-falls-in-forest-and-nobody-is.html
An optimistic realist dropped back into suburban San Jose after 6 years in the Big Apple. Tuesday, November 21, 2006. If a tree falls in the forest, and nobody is around. I'm eating a persimmon plucked from the overhanging branches of my neighbor's tree. In the summer, the sighing branches dropped raw, green fruit on the lawn, but now it's groaning with the load of deliciously ripe, red-orange fruit whose color I can only describe as 'persimmon.' Is it wrong for me to take the fruit? Get Yer Slang On.

WOOcraft: February 2007
http://woocraft.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
An optimistic realist dropped back into suburban San Jose after 6 years in the Big Apple. Wednesday, February 21, 2007. It's been a raucous weekend on this street, with a steady stream of crackling startling pop pop pops and dragon-dance-style drumming from my neighbor's Chinese New Year celebrations. As my neighbors chase away their evil spirits I find myself facing my old nemesis, the Spectre of Overachievement. I plodded across the still-rain dampened lawn to my car, the same one I had when I was a st...

WOOcraft: October 2006
http://woocraft.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
An optimistic realist dropped back into suburban San Jose after 6 years in the Big Apple. Tuesday, October 24, 2006. I am not afraid of you and I will beat your ass. Fortune Magazine's current issue includes an interesting, although I suppose not shocking article on what it takes to be grea. I'm sure we all have different songs for different moods, but the intent here is that it's your song on a good day, the tune in your head as you walk down the street to your opening credits.

WOOcraft: What keeps a mother going...
http://woocraft.blogspot.com/2008/10/what-keeps-mother-going.html
An optimistic realist dropped back into suburban San Jose after 6 years in the Big Apple. Wednesday, October 15, 2008. What keeps a mother going. And that is a very sad thing. Now I'm not an especially religious person, but I think of myself as spiritual. If I was religious I would say that God was showing me how my son feels now when he craves our comfort, and what a gift it is to really be able to provide such complete comfort and reassurance to someone. Exhausting? Posted by Woocraft @ 12:48 AM. The R...

WOOcraft: January 2007
http://woocraft.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
An optimistic realist dropped back into suburban San Jose after 6 years in the Big Apple. Thursday, January 11, 2007. The Remnants of Middle School. Dingding bag. Why would a grown man have a bright yellow plastic dingding bag from a discount teenage girl's clothing store? And thanks to a Frenchie phrase calendar my brother gave me, the kind with those daily tear-off pages, I learned that the French expression for "We've had enough! Is literally translated as "The carrots are cooked! I know a little abou...
