A Critic Is Born
Today was the last day of school for He Who Will Not Be Ignored. Included in the sheaf of art projects, returned tests, and other work sent home from his classroom was a stack of poems from his most recent … Continue reading
Happy Birthday, Miles
Just before his fourth birthday, we took Miles to Disney World, the location of this, one of our favorite photos of him: In the intervening years, he became He Who Will Not Be Ignored, but I still get the drop … Continue reading
A Look Into the Future
Miles has made his first attempt at predicting the future. The Venn diagram seen here is from his math homework, in which he was asked to compare this year with what might be possible in the year 2157. Why that … Continue reading

What I Say
We’re back from our London vacation. I was reviewing some of the video footage we shot, and found this, taken by Diane at the British Museum: We were concerned that Miles would be either bored with or overwhelmed by the … Continue reading
Little Miles
Miles: Yesterday was your tenth birthday, but it was ten years ago this morning that I first sang this song to you. The recording and lyrics are by Lambert, Hendricks, and Ross; the tune is by pianist Randy Weston, written … Continue reading
