facebook, who knew?

so a while ago i created an account on facebook to get more acquainted with social networking on the web. it was intended as a bit of research for a new project i am working on with some espians.
no biggie.
then, a couple of days ago, farouk and i were ichatting and he asked me something about facebook, and i logged on to my account, and that was it. i am facebooked (my new word for "addicted to facebook")
wtf?
czeching out

jaden
cathy was in fort lauderdale this weekend for a rockin' aperture class, so the kids and i headed to long island for some time with grammy and grampa alan, and with the nussbaums.
jaden became a true daddy's girl...she was very aware of when she was or wans't in my arms, and when i was or wasn't in the room. and she is learning more and more how crying might or might not get her what she wants. it's correspondence control 101 for those of you who know what that means.
here are three pics that are just too cute!

silver bay

a tradition for the past three years has been a mini-triathlon for anyone who wants to participate (fast, slow, young, old, fat, skinny etc...) and this year jackson looked at me as the hype for the monday race built up on sunday, and asked if he and i could bike the 11 miles and run the 5k portions, knowing that a 400 yard swim in the lake wasn't something he was ready for. turns out his little bike wouldn't get far on the hilly 11 mile ride, so we both committed to the 5k walk/run leg of the contest. it was a first for him, and a first for anyone else so young in this particular event up at the lake...i vaguely remember doing a 5k or 3k charity run/walk in central park a long time ago, but that's the extent of any extended cardio workout for me in recent years. well, my 7-year-old finished what he started, and beat dad fair and square by about a minute, crossing the finish line and building a new postulate that will last a lifetime. he was truly amazing and although i was not sure about how healthy it was to let him run that far and that long, i am so proud and amazed at his determination, courage, and persistence.
the other wonder for me throughout the week was jackson's choice to spend hours and hours playing chess, 5 or 6 times with me (where he beat me about half the time), and dozens and dozens of times with adults from 18 to 60, some of them very highly skilled pros at the game, at all hours of the day from breakfast to midnight. he's quite a kid.
can't wait till next year.
