The Wizard and I: Update
http://www.thewizardandi.com/2011/06/update.html
The Wizard and I. Tuesday, June 14, 2011. I've previously written about Tyler Clementi here. But since I was in the throngs of preparing for our SF trip, I haven't had an opportunity to provide an update on the arraignment of the. Sad excuse for a human being. Schmuck who now stands accused of the invasion of privacy that ultimately led to Tyler's death. Dharun Ravi - whose name shall ever be dragged in mud - was arraigned on May 23. For a 19-year-old guy who, at one point, had. From the New York Times.

The Wizard and I: New things
http://www.thewizardandi.com/2012/05/new-things.html
The Wizard and I. Thursday, May 31, 2012. We celebrated my grandmother’s 81. Birthday in early April with a large gathering of friends and family. I did some hunting on the WWW, and apparently it’s because Chinese babies are considered to be one year old at birth, so 61 is really celebrating 60 years, etc. For several reasons, I almost didn’t go. Plus, it gave me an opportunity to see my good friends, D and M, whom I don’t get to visit very often. He’s still in the “new-baby-looks-like-a-litt...To say th...

The Wizard and I. Sunday, July 10, 2011. For the first time in three years, I actually got to enjoy a July 4th weekend. And though we were afraid that traffic would be nightmarish on the way back into the city, the roads were unbelievably clear, even for the last day of a long weekend. Along the crowded lakeshore, people were camping out to watch the fireworks, but they all managed to stay off the roads - which meant smooth sailing on our way home. A great way to spend - and end - a holiday.

The Wizard and I: Disgrasian
http://www.thewizardandi.com/2011/05/disgrasian.html
The Wizard and I. Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Or, as Angry Asian Man. Would put it: Asians behaving badly - ex-Rutgers edition. Tyler Clementi was a young gay man, a violinist and student at Rutgers University, when high school friends and fellow Rutgers students Molly Wei and Dharun Ravi used a webcam to record his physical encounter with another man (which was apparently just kissing), and invited others to view the broadcast as a means to publicly humiliate him. You can read the full story here. Ms Wei w...

The Wizard and I. Tuesday, August 2, 2011. So I haven't written about our adoption plans for a while because.well.there hasn't been much to report. In four months since we officially became prospective adoptive parents with the Cradle. You can read about the process here. So here's where I need your help, please, gentle readers. We've heard from the Cradle that a good percentage of matches between birthmothers/parents and adoptive parents are made through personal connections, so yours truly has fina...

The Wizard and I. Saturday, November 5, 2011. My eyesight is.improving? Contact lenses, I'll be doing some shopping around to see what makes financial sense to claim this year. Clogged tear ducts. Regardless, after shelling out a $50 co-pay ("I'm sorry, sir, but it's not available in generic"), for the past two weeks, just before going to sleep, I've had to put a drop of this goopy stuff in each eye, and woken up with some crusty remnants in the morning. Conflict of interest (because there are way too ma...

The Wizard and I: The nightguard
http://www.thewizardandi.com/2012/03/nightguard.html
The Wizard and I. Monday, March 19, 2012. When I was a kid, I didn’t brush and floss my teeth as often as I should have, so when I was twelve years old, I had so many cavities needing fillings that the dentist decided to put me under anesthesia to fix them all at once. When I woke up, I had a mouth full of metal fillings, a metallic after-taste-lessness from the anesthesia, and a newfound respect for dental floss. Since then, I have never. Missed a day (or night) of brushing and. I knew I was to have onl...
