what made us think we were wise and that we wouldn't compromise?

another foiled attempt at breakfast.

i read to kate every night. we've read the hobbit and now we're working on the lord of the rings. every night i read a chapter to her, and every night, she slips away into sleep about three pages into it. i still read the entire thing out loud. it feels like i should.

last night's chapter was long. and it took a long time to read.

this morning i was not ready to get up.

"eeeeyyeeeeee seeeee youuuuuu!" penetrates my sleepy doze.

it's the sauron action figure.

i flail my arms in a wild 'go away' gesture, slipping back into sleep as sauron orders me to "build him an arrrmy wooorthy of moordor!"

yeah right buddy.
