Three things

First, behold the deadly Irukandji!

Only about the size of the finger nail on your little pinky finger, but touching it can lead to weeks of intense pain, coma, and even death! So, small. So deadly. Praise be to God!

Second, what in the world?

"Affectionate chimps nuzzle under the cheerful glow of the candle nestled in the palms overhead." My birthday's coming up next month.

Third, speaking of birthdays...

The contractions started last night, waking up my wife. She took a shower at about 0430, which usually makes the contractions stop when they're the Braxton-Hicks variety. They didn't stop. It's going on 0930, contractions are 5 minutes apart, and the midwife has been notified (that should read, we woke her up before she knew what day it is or who she was, and told her to high tail it over here!). Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I should go boil water and get some towels or something!
