Blackmail Material

Greetings all, with customary apologies for the delay. Papa here has been crashing on a big work project, so this will have to be a quick fix. Here's hoping the madre will save the day soon with a more satisfying entry.

I'm solo here at home for a few days, while Ash and the young prince hold court in New York. I'm told that in spite of a bad stretch of weather, Ezra has been working the society circuit pretty hard up there -- multiple museums and meals out. Sleep, by all reports, has been elusive, but the outings have been a lot of fun. Aunts Lisa and Katy, as well as Aunt Nicky and Uncle Danny and cousins Carly and Jaden have been gracious hosts.

I suspect that by the time they return tomorrow, I will notice appreciable progress in Ezra's ambulation. He's been taking to walking with great enthusiasm. To illustrate this, I have posted the following off-color specimen:



Ah, I can already smell the future resentment. Tough break, kid -- you're growing up in the era of YouTube. I bet you won't be the only one.

Very much looking forward to the family reunion tomorrow, and I'll cajole Ash into saving her family's good name by contributing a respectable blog post.

Until then,
Gabe, (Ash and Ez in absentia)
