He didn't like to share then either
My kids were breast fed. Mary used a breast pump so I got to take turns feeding the kids. They preferred her nipple over mine doe.
I think I was still older then Pearl in that pic, is JP 30 yet?
Its time for an update. I've got things, seen things and done things that are worth reporting to you about. The big thing is getting a smart phone, the wifey got me a Galaxy S6 for Christmas. I kinda knew it was coming, we had talked about getting smart phones and knowing my wife the holidays are a perfect time to spend money. She is good like that, Mary is a savvy shopper who is patient when it comes to executing a purchase...I'm like a typical guy who hates to shop and when I do I want to get it over with asap. Which usually means I overpay.
The one thing I did know is that I wanted the Galaxy Phone, the Iphone is too overpriced for me. @UtahJoe showed me how to use the bluetooth feature in my car(he sync'd it for me), which is really awesome. Also my older son Evan told me about downloading music onto my phone from Spotify so I don't have to stream and use data while listening to music in the car...another awesome. I'm getting better at using the little magic box, like anything else the more you use it the better you become wif it. I bought a case and picked up a wireless charger from Amazon, so I am on my way to hi-tech smart-phoning.
With time off with the family we decided to walk over the Brooklyn bridge yesterday, this has always been on my list of things to do. The bridge is less then 22 miles from my house but damn with the amount of time we spent on pubic transportation we could have driven to the Hudson, paddled kayaks across, peddled bikes east through lower Manhattan to get to the mouth of the East River and walk across the bridge. I shouldn't complain about the transportation thing, the biggest pia is getting a 17yr old and 20 yr. old out of bed before noon to go sightseeing. At least when they were babies I had more control over them, you simply wake babies up and pack what they need then throw them in a car seat. Trust me, it takes a lot of words, threats and aggravation to get my kids rolling...but like anything else, once they are moving we have good momentum and flow.
The city is a great place of wonder, the people, man-made landscapes and history make it all somewhat magical. Its a great place to observe people, since there are thousands of them everywhere you go. I will say that black people are the most animated, what ever emotion is going on in their head everyone knows about it. Spanish people always seem happy even though I don't know what they are saying. Orientals are like giddy school children, silly but somewhat reserved. White people are rude, shifty and keep to themselves, which means they can be hard to figure out...as a generalization.
The other thing that white people do is wait in lines. I was driving by the Short Hills mall on Sunday and there was a line a mile long to get into the place...only a white person would spend an hour sitting on line to go into shop/return clothes. Also once we got into Brooklyn yesterday I observed more white people waiting on lines to get into tourist pizzeria's. It seems like there is no plan B with these people. Juliana's and Grimaldi's are two popular pizzeria's near the bridge, it looked like an hour wait to get in. Once I saw that line I said screw that, we walked around the Dumbo section and I used my smart phone to find a good pizza place without all the tourists.
White people on lines.
Walking along the east river's swift moving current one gets a sense of history, the bridges connecting Mahnattan and Brooklyn tell a story. The old brick factories converted into living and retail space provide a charm, it would be cool to live here as long as you could escape from all the people occasionally. The thing that makes this area so vibrant is the people but at the same time it can all be overwhelming, thus making solitude an oasis.

Nice update. Thanks for sharing.
You could probably make some money selling your old flip phone. My cousin just lost his and so he in not happy that he had to get an iPhone 5s. I thought those are free now that the 6s is available. Maybe he'd be happier with an Android phone instead of iPhone. He is/was the caveman because he is not into technology. He doesn't use email.
Your smartphone brought to you by the joy and wonder of Christmas. Happy New Year!

He'd be more of a caveman if he didn't text. I can go without email longer then texting.
Also I still use my camera to take pics, its all about the lense if you want good photos. The fact is people would rather take a pic and post it to FB instantly instead of producing a quality photo. There is a novelty with the camera phone but I'd rather go with quality pics.
I like them, they are convenient. You can get some good pics with camera phones, but for more consistent quality a camera wins.

I clearly see an Asian fellow on that 'white person' line.
And he looks "like a giddy school children, silly but somewhat reserved"
