Elena at 29 1/2 Weeks

by Dirk August 25, 2010

In less than a week I will be together with my family. It is a happy thing, which I look forward to with great anticipation. However I got one “final” pre-return report that bears sharing: Elena likes to pull at and try to eat plants. She has ever since she started being rollingly mobile some [...]

Dirk’s Notes, The Summer of 1787: The Men Who Invented the Constitution

by Dirk August 16, 2010

“Dirk’s Notes” captures and shares insights and interesting bits I draw from the books I read. Thanks to the magic of e-readers I am not only reading more but preserving my thoughts in the process. These segments will give you a summation of the book while sharing my personal explorations through and extrapolations of the [...]

When lonely, I sometimes watch (a lot of) movies

by Dirk August 16, 2010

I’m marooned in Boston for the past week and next couple weeks with nary friends nor family to comfort me. The good news is I’m getting a lot of work done, writing a lot, and watching a ridiculous number of movies (I’m a multi-tasker). So, here are short reviews on all the movies I watched [...]

Elena at 28 weeks

by Dirk August 15, 2010

More than two weeks into her trip to Germany and Elena is really growing! This week she started saying her first words: one day it was “Oma” (first) and them “Mom”. The next day she said “Ba” (referring to a ball) and “Dada” when Sigrid was showing her my picture. She seems too little and [...]

A moment of profound optimism

by Dirk August 2, 2010

This weekend Alex visited. It had been a few weeks since I’d seen him, and I was really looking forward to it. We had an excellent time together, but more than the quality of our time what struck me was how motivated and excited Alex is for his new school. Both boys are in the [...]

Elena at 26 weeks

by Dirk August 1, 2010

It is hard to believe that little Elena is already half a year old. The contrast in the passage of time, from so slow and winding when I was a child to blink-and-its-gone as an adult is perpetually surprising. Even moreso as I watch her grow from her first moments on Earth to a mobile, [...]
