I decided to try to live without Google. Why would I do that? Well, I think Google is getting to big and I wanted to see if I can use the web without it. As one can imagine this is not easy but I wanted to see if it is possible. As a result, I stopped using gmail, and moved my videos and pictures from youtube and picasa. I am hosting my online content at me.com, a service I already had. So far I love that I can see my pictures and my videos on the same page. The Gallery App on my phone also gives me access to my gallery on the go. Also, the me.com email is great. I am trying to see if I can get used to bing. That might prove to be the hardest one.
All the pictures and videos previously posted on my site are not working anymore. You can find them by clicking the ling at the bottom or by going to www.gallery.me.com/ovidiucurca.
Last night Sebi tried to put me to sleep. It is funny to see how much he tries to copy us. He is really down with the schedule and tries, to be best of his abilities, to stick to it. Just that everything takes a little longer than it should.
Sebi and I went to the Zoo today. We had lots of fun even though the zoo was almost empty. Who knew people are working on Thursday? Anyway … we saw all the usual suspects: lions, tigers, zebras, rinos, elephant, monkeys, you name it – we saw it. The coolest part was the forest. In this enclosure (literary a forest) there were between 100 to 200 dears. You can walk in and enjoy the dears in their habitat. The fun part is that the animals come up to you ; you can feed and pet them. I managed to snick a couple of shots here and there but not to manny since my boy would not stay still.
A few pictures we shoot while walking by the Charles River. This particular place is probably one mile from our apartment. There are people biking, walking, canoeing, barbecuing, or simply sitting on the grass. Also, there is a nice water park where Sebi loves to play. A couple of pictures are from downtown Boston.
Last Saturday we went for a bike ride by the charles river. A mile into our ride we found this nice park so we had to stop. Sebi was walking in the water by himself until he saw a little boy “swimming” (his hands were on the bottom of the pool). Of course my boy wanted to try it as well but his hands were to short. But with daddy’s help everything is possible .
Yesterday it rained once again in Boston. Sebi and Monica were in the living room, when I had the greatest idea . Sebi and I had to go outside in the rain and play in the puddles. Before you judge me, let me explain. My boy was born in Southern California where it doesn’t rain. I think, in the last two years, he has seen rain twice or three times (exaggeration to make a point) and never has he actually played in it. So … I asked Sebi, who was still playing with his mommy: Sebi, do you want to go play in the rain? His answer was: “Bye. mama”. He was more than ready to get wet. Need I mention that Sebi loved being in the rain.
I found this “old” video of Sebi in my Iphoto library. He must have been 13-14 months old, so almost a year ago. Hasn’t he change allot? I can’t believe my eyes. This is a good reminder to enjoy as much as possible every stage he is in. I must confess that it is not easy to do that. Hopefully I will get better at it! What a cute boy! and I am not saying that simply because he is my son.
Last Sunday we took a quick trip up to San Francisco to see our friend Cora from Deva. We did the typical tourist things: boat ride around the bay, embarcadero walk and WE sans Sebi got to go on a date to little Italy. It was really nice to visit with Cora – she is a nanny for three kids, only one of them Anika age 2 1/2 joined us. She is a real cutie, Sebi and her had a two day romance that ended abruptly when we had to leave on Tuesday night at 9 pm.
"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb."
