Destination: relaxation

Life is good in Basel this afternoon, because I was finally able to assembly my our new glider chair. Since The Big Finn (a) is gainfully and happily unemployed, and (b) has a big-ass car, he was kind enough to take Gretchen to Germany to pick it up and carry it for her. So now I'm we're ready to rock my our cares away.

(As happy as I am to have this chair, Gretchen will probably be even happier since we went to a doctor appointment yesterday and he took one look at the ultrasound and said "it is a big baby!" He must have said "big baby" at least 5 times, and I don't think he was talking about my fear of becoming a father or Gretchen's desire for an epidural...)
