Happy

Here are those darn photos. From our wedding day, with our friend Daniel:

A picture taken by Zoë:

Daddy's looking great.

From the other day, when we all had the excitement of mommy's finding the best bathing suit ever!!

Casting modesty aside, I think I'm still looking pretty foxy. Of course, my plan is to take the perfect bathing suit and the children and go spend the summer in East Hampton while my poor husband slaves away trying to get tenure. You'll all have to buy him virtual beers, or something, the poor devil.

Congratulations! And on the two-year anniversary too.

That's an awesome bathing suit.

[belle waring]

thanks, isn't it? I emailed the link to bitchphd, I know she wants one.

[Alyce]

You are stunning. I love that suit.

A man who gets to go home to you every night deserves neither beer nor pity, only felicitations.

[Alyce]

um, ok, wow

That sounds really creepy and not at all how I intended it.

You are lovely. That suit is very attractive.

Tenure is a bitch, I'd be happy to buy you all a beverage.

I'll buy him an actual beer! I'm coming into town on June 30, and excepting a July 5-12 trip to Australia for the AAP, I'll be there all the way.

Hmmm.... The NYTimes just did an article on this Singapore house. Omen? Prophesy?

[matt]

It's too bad that there's not a control-top sort of suit for men that looked hipply retro as opposed to crazy or really weird since if there were I'd get it. (I'm not saying _you_ need a control-top suit or that this is what this is, but isn't it what this sort of thing was, in part?)

[belle waring]

yeah, the "belt up under the armpits" look has never really come back for guys. I think it can just about be pulled off in a nice suit, with the jacket still on, a la Robert Mitchum, but it's never going to work as a bathing suit...

[belle waring]

bill, I saw that. those houses are amazing, but they rent for like SGD$25,000 a month now...

[bill benzon]

Who knows, when Zoe's comics are internationally syndicated, Mei Mei's rocking the house at Budokan, John's got tenure, and you're busy decorating the homes of Russian oil barrons, maybe SGD$25,000 will be in the budget.

[The Modesto Kid]

I (ignorant of international finance as I am) assume GD$ stands somehow for "Singapore dollars" but am reading "GD$25,000" as "twenty-five thousand goddamn bucks".

[The Modesto Kid]

Oh I see, "SGD" = "SinGapore Dollar" -- for some reason I was thinking the S was an emphatic dollar sign. I blame your taste in fonts.

[ozma]

You are quite foxy. As someone who lost her foxiness, I'm a bit envious. It's a bit strange how my foxiness just up and vanished. I'd blame tenure, but your husband seems to have retained his foxiness. So maybe it was just bad luck.

Giovanna loves the bathing suit. She says "il corpo merita quel bikini. O forse è il bikini che merita quel corpo?"

[bitchphd]

I wish I were still as foxy as you. How'd you keep a non-pouchy tummy? Or maybe I just wish that suit came in my size. Maybe I'll just get one for the sake of the bottom, and buy a solid-black top from one of the fancy companies that makes weirdo-sized bikini tops. But black looks kinda not so hot on me. Grr.

You know I'm going to go try one on, though.
