If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.


Here is a photograph that Jen took yesterday of the little bloke showcasing his increased sitting up skills.

Colour me impressed!

You offered staying with Henry for 2 weeks as a prize. When are we going to have a similar prize? In that case, make it staying with him for 2 years. Then you can have him back :-)

Oh well, time is rushing past so quickly. It doesn't seem long ago to me that he was born.
Kris McCracken said…
Priyanka, I have a cute Henry video to post in the next few days, so maybe that will win him a few fans back.
Kris McCracken said…
Babzy, he is advanced in all of the martial arts, thus very flexible.
Kris McCracken said…
KL, second prize was THREE weeks with Henry.
Kris McCracken said…
April, I agree. It goes by very quickly. Where has my gummy baby gone? He has all these teeth!

Look at his little toe.

Ah! I completely messed this comment up. So, here I again say it with all the corrections:

You offered staying with Henry for 2 weeks as a prize. When are we going to have a similar prize WITH EZRA? In that case, make it staying with him (EZRA) for 2 years. Then you can have him back :-).

Now let me hear (well, read) your answer.
Kris McCracken said…
FF, his little big toe?

He has very large hands and feet when he's next to other babies. Less so next to me.
Kris McCracken said…
KL, I better not let Henry read that. He is already reeling that the Delhi office workers have turned against him!

Ezra is not only sitting, he is radiating light.
Kris McCracken said…
Dina, I missed this comment somehow! My shame...

Ez does radiate light wherever he goes. He's blessed with a rare kind of charisma!

Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it...

I still have the robot on the job. Here you can see the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery . And here is a poem: Soliloquy for One Dead Bruce Dawe Ah, no, Joe, you never knew the whole of it, the whistling which is only the wind in the chimney's smoking belly, the footsteps on the muddy path that are always somebody else's. I think of your limbs down there, softly becoming mineral, the life of grasses, and the old love of you thrusts the tears up into my eyes, with the family aware and looking everywhere else. Sometimes when summer is over the land, when the heat quickens the deaf timbers, and birds are thick in the plumbs again, my heart sickens, Joe, calling for the water of your voice and the gone agony of your nearness. I try hard to forget, saying: If God wills, it must be so, because of His goodness, because- but the grasshopper memory leaps in the long thicket, knowing no ease. Ah, Joe, you never knew the whole of it... I like Bruce Dawe. He just my be my favourite Austral...

There was nothing left. No reason, no conscience, no understanding; even the most rudimentary sense of life or death, good or evil, right or wrong.

Here is a self portrait. I’m calling it Portrait of a lady in a dirty window . Shocking, isn’t it? However, it is apt! Samhain , Nos Galan Gaeaf , Hop-tu-Naa , All Saints , All Hallows , Hallowmas , Hallowe'en or HALLOWEEN . It’s Theme Thursday and we’re talking about the festivals traditionally held at the end of the harvest season. Huh? No wonder Australians have trouble with the concept of HALLOWEEN. For the record, in my thirty-two L O N G years on the planet, I can’t say I’ve ever seen ghosts ‘n goblins, trick ‘n treaters or Michael Myers stalking Tasmania’s streets at the end of October. [That said, I did once see a woman as pale as a ghost turning tricks that looked like Michael Myers in late November one time.] Despite the best efforts of Hollywood, sitcoms, and innumerable companies; it seems Australians are impervious to the [ahem] charms of a corporatized variant of a celebration of the end of the "lighter half" of the year and beginning of the "darke...

Hold me now, oh hold me now, until this hour has gone around. And I'm gone on the rising tide, to face Van Dieman's Land

Theme Thursday again, and this one is rather easy. I am Tasmanian, you see, and aside from being all around general geniuses - as I have amply described previously - we are also very familiar with the concept of WATER. Tasmania is the ONLY island state of an ISLAND continent. That means, we're surrounded by WATER. That should help explain why I take so many photographs of water . Tasmania was for a long time the place where the British (an island race terrified of water) sent their poor people most vile and horrid criminals. The sort of folk who would face the stark choice of a death sentence , or transportation to the other end of the world. Their catalogue of crimes is horrifying : stealing bread assault stealing gentlemen's handkerchiefs drunken assault being poor affray ladies being overly friendly with gentlemen for money hitting people having a drink and a laugh public drunkenness being Irish Fenian terrorist activities being Catholic religious subversion. ...
