Comings and goings

I'm excited about the following upcoming events:

July 30
Blogher Conference '05
After blogging off and on for over three years, I think it's time for me to publicly refer to myself as a blogger. [Sidebar: I just checked my archives and July 12, 2002 was my first entry. Read it here.]

August 15 - 21
My mom (Grammie Martha) and niece Jessica are visiting us from Chicago.

September 16 - 24
The Tsaos visit New York!
We're staying at a company apartment in Chelsea. Jewel's friend Elizabeth recommends Dansko shoes for city walking. Thanks for the recommendation, Elizabeth! Does anybody have any kid-friendly entertainment recommendations for us?
